Likely to Drop
Net Farm Incomes
Economists Say

Prices Of Maryland farm products
in 1949 are likely to average slightly
lower than in 1913. Prices of non
agricultural products are likely to
rise-which means that it will cost
more for the farmer to produce. This
is to say that net farm incomes arc
likely to follow the pattern set in
1948 and drop off somewhat, accord
ing to agricultural economists at the
University of Maryland.
Exact figures on Maryland alone
are not available, but for the entire
nation farmers had net income in
1913 which was about a billion dollars
less than the year before. This was
partly due to the nearly 8 percent
rise in farm expenses. 1t looks now
as though expenses would be fully as
high next year-even with reduced
feed costs.

Natures Children
By LiIIion Cox Athey
Great Green Iguana

In the humid lowlands of tropical
America, as well as numerous islands
of the West Indies, you may come
across giant lizards, known as the
Great Green Iguana. &s
These mammoth lizards, some 5k
to 6 feet long, resemble some Of the
prehistoric scaly monsters and are
the direct descendants of lizards
which were neighbors Of dinosaurs
that became extinct some $4,000, 900
years ago. Although there is like
ness still apparent, they are very
remotely related.
The largest of this amazing group
measures 6 feet. Every inch is
crammed full Of snap and vigor and
always on defense. The wide jaws
can come down swiftly crushing
a hand or killing a small animal.
The lash of the tail stings fear
fully and can easily knock one down.
The iguana's large claws are
needle-sharp, used effectively when
the lizard is cornered. Claw, jaw
and tail are all brought into play
at this time and with success.
Strangely enough there are not
many battles. because neighbors
keep a respectable distance.
When another iguana of equal
size and fortitude enters his terri
tory, he rises slowly on toenails,
fattens his great body vertically,
his belly sweeps the ground, his
eyes flash and his fans spread wide.
During this performance the
iguana turns from brown to red
brown and bronze-gold, his dewlap
remains golden bronze. If his
unlimited guest struts he turns a
mottled green.
At mating time, just before the
tropical rains he is clothed in beau
tiful green. The male having the
largest estate" attracts the most at
tention of the ladies. They rest
upon a chosen lookout bough and
pretend Indifference. The property
owner begins to strut. His bronze
fan expands. Finally one maiden
edges closer and arches her back.
He accepts this attention by dancing
around her in a circle. The others
either go to sleep or move on.
The eggs are laid in pocket in
soft moist earth. Ten weeks later,
tiny green 6 inch iguanas work
their way out. They snap up small
insects and later eat orchids.
