...major reason for the shortage is that public relations firms, advertising agencies, trade publications, house organs, radio and TV stations are all offering graduates higher salaries than newspapers. Of 53 students who will graduate next year from the State University of Iowa's journalism school, only 16 plan to work for daily or weekly newspapers; less than one-third of the school's students are majoring in editorial work...
...soil-conserving measures. The figures bore him out: of the 1956 rise-$400 million over last year's $11.3 billion-some $250 million is from soil-bank payments. Next year, when up to 45 million acres are to be set aside, the payments will be that much higher, and so should be the cut in the surplus. The hope: by 1958-60 the surplus-reducing soil-bank program, besides raising farmer income, should have a strong bolstering effect on prices by more nearly balancing supply and demand...

The Pennsylvania Railroad alone is getting $10 million worth of new business annually by piggybacking. The Pennsy's forecast for 1960: $100 million annually. Furthermore, profits from piggybacking are often higher than those from regular freight. The flatcars used by the Pennsy travel better than 300 miles per day and average $40,000 revenue annually, v. only 45 miles and a $5,000 annual revenue from standard freight cars...
