of the farms are managed, output of the aver
age acre could be doubled. In most areas the
output of pasture land could be increased three
or four times. Our c~leverest feeders get 60%
more out of their feed than do average feeders.
Production per COW, SOW or hen could be in
creased 500 to 1909 if animals and methods
as good as those used by the top 2O95 of our
farmers were employed by all farmers.
There are two ways of achieving higher pro-
duction per acre without increasing costs. The
most practical method is to raise the level of
management efficiency without increasing pres
ent working forces per farm. The other method
is for the farm family, with modern power and
machinery, to farm more acres. This second
method has obvious limitations. For there
would not be enough acres to 60 around with
out eliminating many farm families. Do we
want larger farm units and reduced farm popu-
lation? Many think not.
However, many farmers are now faced with
adopting either one or the other of the above
methods. Farmers must meet today's high
operating costs and still maintain living stand
ards without forcing prices beyond the reach of
the average consumer. Consumers cannot be
expected to support, indefinitely, inefficient
farm output by paying the high prices such in
efficiency demands.

2. Swift & Company employs 49,
900 men and women to provide
the services producers, retailers
and consumers demand. The en-
ployes look to their company for
regular, gainful employment. They
earned 1925, 154, 019 in wages and
salaries in 1913 -. or 9.6 cents of
each average sales dollar.

a. transportation charges are a
necessary item of expense, and a
large one, too. Meats are moved
an average of 1000 miles from
farm and ranch to market. Dur
ing 1948, in distributing our prod
ucts to cities, towns and villages,
Swift & Company spent $46, 702,-
457 for transportation by rail and
motor. This amounted to 20 cents
of each average dollar of sales
income.

3. Supplies of all kinds-sugar,
salt, spices, containers, fuel, cleo
tricity cost us 1914, 800, 1928. These
supplies are furnished by other
businesses. Our purchases from
them created work and wages for
many more Americans. This took4
cents of our average sales dollar.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-02-01

l. The major cost of meat packing
is the purchase of livestock and
other agricultural products. Swift
paid 1888, 1923, 473 to farmers and
ranchers last year. You, the pro-
ducers, received 1913 cents out of
each average dollar we took in
from sales.

6. More fhon 200 900 refuiI store
operators look to Swift for a regu-
lar supply ofmeats and other Swift
products. We help build retailers
trade by developing nationwide
consumer markets. Our research
laboratories and test kitchens also
help create consumer demand.
Depreciation, interest and other
expenses common to every bust
ness, add to this total. All these
cost $46, 514,663 or 1.9 cents of the
average dollar of sales.

both producers and Swift & Company. That's

Bell said today. 1.-THE same weather
that has dried out lawns and much
of the strawberry crop has also
dried out the forest soil. Clouds and
showers have not changed this con-

the spark of cigarette, match or
