were above their 1920 levels in
one sixth of the states, and
equal to or above 1919 levels
in one half of them. The trend
in Texas was revealed In a
sampling of three repreaenta-
tive counties by the Texas 'Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station,
showing that farm land prices
went steadily upward in
third quarter of 194S. But a
Biguificent factor was noted in
an increase in cash buying,
Timm says. Tenant buying
which usually is low at this
season, showed an increase
over the previous year in two
of the sample counties.
A more desirable trend was
indicated in this quarter, how-
ever, in the fact that more buy-
ers indicated intention to op-
erate the tracts purchaifed and
non-farmer sellers still were on
the increase.
Timm explains that during
the war farm and ranch lead-
ers in and out of the govern-
ment cautioned about the con-
sequences of the existing land
boom. One of the hopeful
signs for control was efforts to
enact a stiff capital gains tax
to stop speculative buying.
The principle embodied was to
tax away practically all of the
profits if a farm was resold
within two years or some other
their farmers. “An attack on
the 'land boom’ itself likely
will bring little results," Timm
says. “The solution to the
problem will come through a
solution to the general infla-
tionary problem.

Cooperation Sought In
the | Preventing Forest Fares
Mounting forest fire danger
throughout most of the East
Texas timberbelt last week
was causing concern among
state forestry officials and led
W. E. White, director of the
Texas Forest Service, A. A M.
College, to issue an appeal for
public cooperation in prevent-
ing fires.
“Our patrolmen have been
reporting many fires caused by
field and trash burning. These
are types of fires which can
easily be controlled with a lit-
tle care,” he said.
A total of over 300 fires have
been reported so far this
month through Wednesday,
with an area burned of almost
15.000 acres. In the last v/eeV
149 fires have bden reported
burning an area of slightly over
3.000 acres.
The two hot spots are in
northeast Texas and section of
southeast Texas in Hardin, Ty-
ler, Jasper and Newton coun-
ties, Mr. White said.
Careless field burning was
causing much concern among
forestry officials. Fields are
fired to burn grass and trash
and they have been getting out
of control in the high winds re-
cently and escaping to the
woods, the director reported.
As cautionary measures he
suggested:
1. Plow a narrow ’ fire
around the field
burning.
2. Have help and fire fighting
tools handy.
3. Burn against the wind, so
the flames won’t spread so
fast.
4. Avoid burning on extrer .eiy
windy days.
5. Make the fire safe
leaving it.
6. Clear a space around small
trash fires'and have a on-
ple of pails of water handy
for an emergency.

Real Production Hod Skirted
When the war ended, our organization bent
every effort to increase production, with the
result that in the last months of 1945 ma-
chinery was being built in very substantial
quantities. Here are a few figures:

Both your dealer end we were encouraged by
this production picture at toe turn of “the
year. But toe strike changed all that. As you
know, toe CIG United Farm Equipment &
Metal Workers of America called a strike in
ten of our plants, on January 21,1946.
What I* The Strike About?
Wages are a basic issue. At the time of the
strike, Harvester employes ware among the
highest paid workers in American industry.
When the strike began, the average hourly
earnings m the ten plants, not including
overtime, were 41.15*. If present wage pro-
posals are adopted, this figure will become
S1.83H per hour.
When the strike began, negotiations were
broken off by the Union on the issue of com-
pulsory union membership. The Company
has no desire to weaken the Union. Itrecog-
ntzes certain reasonable needs of the Union.
But the Company does oppose compulsory
unionism. It feels strongly that an em-
ploye’s membership should be a matter of
Ida own choice.
Material Costs and Pries fioflof
Wages and materials am the great coats of
operating our business—together they con-
sume all but a few cents of every dollar too
Company takes in. Wages are obviously
going to be high—and nobod^ knows just
how high material costa will go.
In the face of rising costs of materials, the
Company doe, not see hew it can par; the
wage increases recommended by a Govern-
ment .'act finding board until it has definite
and satisfactory assurance from the Govern-
ment that reasonable price relief will be
granted to the Company within a reasonable
period of time. This matter is of such im-
i that it wifi not be discussed here,
twill be covered by future advertiarananta
devoted to both prices and profits.
Speaking tor our dealer., and ourselves, we
can assure you that no customer is more
eager than we are to resume production, rife
me doing and BhaU continue to dc everything
in our power to bring about a fair eattiomcet
as aoon as possible.
