DR. HOYT WRITES
OF THE BUSINESS
MACHINE
to
Tells in Government Publica
tion How It Adjusts Itself
Almost Magically
In the March issue of "The Na
tion's Business," a publication of
the United States Chamber of
Commerce appears a feature ar
ticle by Dr. Homer Hoyt, profes
sor of Economics and Business
Administration at Delaware Col
lege.
It is somewhat unusual for a
college of this size to have on its
staff a man whose articles are
sought by the leading magazines.
À short time ago one of Dr. Hoyt's
articles appeared in the Outlook.
The current article entitled
"The Business Machine" is one of
a series of articles which will ap
pear from time to time on "The
A B C of Business.'
of the story is that "a study of
the mechanism of business re
veals it a fascinating, living or
ganism that runs itself."
The theme
"Is business a free for all fight?
Is there a system in the business
world or is there nothing but
shoas?
asks the author who
proceeds to prove that it all de
pends on the point of view.
"To the man in the street busi
ness seems a vast hodge podge of
individual bargaining, personal
ties and luck with constant strife
between labor and capital, be
tween consumer and producer, be
tween rival industries and men in
the same industry. No tangible
bonds seem to link the physical
plants together. It seems that
everyone does as he pleases. In
time of peace there is no law pre
scribing how men shall cooperate
in business; there is no War in
dustries Board to separate the
"essential" sheep from the "non
essential" goats; no Railroad Ad
ministration to decide who shall
have the right of way. No auto
cratic power issues its edict as to
what shall be produced nor what
price shall be fixed. On the con
trary there seems to be complete
industrial independence."
What keeps business on the
track in the absence of a central
controlling power is a question
which he answers by a clear ex
position showing how price and
profit levels maintain a proper
balance between all of its intri
cately adjusted parts: "Attempts
of the government to regulate it
may stop the works altogether.
No man or group of men seem to
be skilled enough to run the busi
ness machine as well as it will run
itself, for it has an almost magical
capacity for correcting its own de
ficiencies."
Prof. J. M. LeCato, Ad
dresses Cammers' Association
"The only satisfactory solution
of the whole intricate problem
which confronts canners, farmers,
and consumers alike is more pro
duction, and production can be in
creased only by a process of edu
cation," said J. M. LeCato, Exten
sion Pathologist, in his address
before the Tri-State Canners' As
sociation. Prof. LeCato emphasiz
ed the following points in his ad
dress: (1) That the canners co
operate in field demonstrations to
show the best methods of increas
ed production through the use of
good seed, varieties, and seed se
lection. (2) That it he Can'ners'
Associations and Producers' Asso
ciations get together on all mat
ters of mutual concern, such as,
increasing consumption of canned
goods by growing and packing a
high quality product, studly the
problems of increased productios
including disease control', good
seed, fertilization, etc., and in the
study of cost of production.
In conclusion, Prof. LeCato
recommended to the Canners' As
sociation organization of a Ser
vice Bureau which would carry on
educational wbrk with County
Farm Bureaus and other farmers'
organizations and which could
deal with local canners' problems
and demonstrations.
Bishop Thomas Arrives
In Delaware Today
Bishop Nathaniel S. Thomas
who was recently elected bishop
of the Protestant Episcopal dio
cese of Delaware, arrived in Wil
mington today from Wyoming.
Bishop Thomas has not indicat
ed his acceptance yet but has
promised to give the subject his
careful consideration,
look over the field carefully, .in
quiring into general church con
ditions for the next few days. He
will then probably make his de
cision as to whether or not he will
accept the Episcopacy.

Farm Management
Records which Delaware farm
ers have kept of their farms for
the past two years, in the Dela
ware Farmers' Account Books
supplied by their farm bureaus,
have shown that it does not pay
to depend on one crop or one kind
of live stock entirely. In other
words the old" saying holds true,

section, and dairy cattle as the

A good example of this is shown
by last season's' record with the
wheat and tomato crop. In wheat
areas farmers planted more wheat
than usual—to the exclusion of
other cröps. As a result of the
wet season some of these farmers'
have made nothing—(because they
were depending on one cash crop

cited with hogs where this branch
of the live stock industry has
been developedi to the exclusion
of other live stock,
great drop in hog prices during
the past six months some farmers
would have greater returns for
their year's work if they had
some other sources of live stock
receipts along with cash grain
crops.
The Delaware Farmers' Account
books are helping many farmers
keep such simple records as will
help them to baliance their busi
ness and to properly diversify
their crops and live stock to se
cure the greatest net returns.
Moral—go right now to your bank
or Farm Bureau office and get
your farm account book. It costs
nothing—and may save you con
siderable this year.

banquet of the officers of the 59th
Pioneer Infantry held in the Lam

neer Infantry and men who were
commissioned from the ranks.

the memories of their days in ser
vice through an organization.

Garlic Flavor In Milk and
How To Eradicate It
Dairymen and creamerymen in
many States are troubled every
spring by garlic or onion flavor in
the milk. This« is due to the cows
feeding on garlic or wild onion,
one of the first plpmts to start in
the pasture in the spring,
trouble from garlic is not likely
to last very long, as this weed is
soon cropped off and' the grass, be
comes plentiful' enough for the
cattle to feed on it in preference
to the onion.
Garlic flavor in milk can be re
moved by heating the milk to 145°
F. and forcing air through it at
this temperature for 30 to 60 min
utes, according to Farmers' Bul
letin 608 of the Urÿted. States De
partment of Agriculture. As this
method requires a certain amount
of equipment, it is much more sat
isfactory for the average dairy
man to keep the odor out of milk
by a few simple precautions in
herd management.
There are two ways of protect
ing the milk from garlic flavor.
First, prevent the cows from ob
taining garlic; and second, man
age the herd on garlic pasture, so
that there will be the least possi
The
•
ble chance of getting the flavor in
the milk. .
Often the garlic is found only
in one patch in the pasture, and
this can be temporarily fenced off
find pastured with other animals
not producing milk.
Where garlic is scattered all
over the field it will be impossible
to keep the cows away from it,
but by removing them to some
other field three or four hours be
fore each milking the flavor will
be reduced to a minimum. The
odorin milk is strongest from cows
which have just eaten garlic, and
the odor is reduced as the time be
tween the eating of garlic and
milking is increased.
In case no garlic-free pasture is
available, it would be advisable to
drive ithe cattle to the barnyard
three or four hours before milk
ing and feed them on hay and sil

trouble is short, this should not
cause much inconvenience.
The best plan for avoiding
trouble from this weed on the
dairy farm is to kill it out com
pletely. This can be done with
little trouble, and those interested
can obtain information on the sub
ject by writing to the United
States Department of Agriculture
for Farmers' Bulletin 610, "Wild
Onion, Method of Eradication."
American Housewife
Practicing Thrift
The modern housewife is be
coming expert in buying. She is
reading the labels, and checking
up the weights and measures of
the food products she buys. She
has learned when to buy in quan
tity and when in small amount,
and when it is more economical to
buy in bulk than in package.
Many have comparedi .the cost of
making bread at home and of buy
ing it and' are choosing the way
that is best for them.
The lessened buying power of
the dollar has made her think and
avoid all kinds of waste. The
family must be kept well nourish
ed, but the wife a'nd mother should
not provide more food than is
needed. She must know what kind
of food will fill her market basket
to the best advantage. Along
with this, knowledge is that of how
much of the family food should
come from each food group and
how it is wise to save money by
using more food from the less ex
pensive groups. The housewife of
to-day is keeping a food account
and checks up her weekly buying
