...more powerful. The result is that farmers have been forced into financing decisions as intricate as those facing corporate treasurers. Borrowing money at interest rates of up to 12% to buy or rent additional land and invest in machinery can improve a farm's productivity and profits???or it can ruin a farmer who expands too fast while crop prices are falling, as many growers did in 1976-77. Indeed, the angry protests last fall and winter came largely from younger, undercapitalized farmers who borrowed and bought too much too soon and were badly squeezed by inflation...

...give something to everybody. Labor demanded a tripartite board, including union representatives, to determine pay, while business insisted that only public representatives chosen by a Republican White House rule on prices.

And others, as the year neared its end, were speaking of the phenomenal Sun profits???at least $1,000,000. Suddenly, at dinner, he became ill. Within a few hours, on the advice of Drs. Frank R.

...THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER !?Meredith Nicholson? Scribners ($2.00). Mort Crane was a printer in Indianapolis, and his wife Alice owned a fourth interest in the printing business in which he was Vice President and Secretary. He loved his work and his wife loved the profits???or she would have loved them if they had been larger. So Alice after 17 years began to think Mort was a futile little man, that Howard Spencer, who owned three fourths of the "Press," was a very fine man, and that the "Press" should be expanded. Mort Crane could not think...
