BABSON Discusses Cattle And Dairv Farmin0

DAIRY FARMING DISCUSSED

Those readers now considering going into dairy
ing should think twice and then stop and think
again, if they have had previous experience in
this very uncertain field Profit margins in dairyng
vary considerably in different sections of the coun-
try and many an otherwise able man has lost his
shirt by plunging enthusiastically into a dairy pro-
gram without giving sufficient thought to the poss-
ible consequences. The principal problem in dairy
ing, and it is essentially the same in New England
in the Midwest or in the Rockies, is the cost of
feeds These feed costs usually represent more than
half of the total cost of milk production and largely
determine profits.
If you think you can control feed costs, through
a wel-balanced feed program, which includes care
full management Of your feed inventory, you can
probably make money in dairying But if you have
grave doubts to your ability to keep feed costs
within bounds, steer clear of such an operation.
Yet think farming generally will be profitable in
1851. Farm income will be up, at least through the
first half and, perhaps, beyond. For the year, it
should average some 1879 above 1850.

YOUR MONEY AND THE U. S.
TREASURY

The monetary policies Of the government
have created initiation and are making more
imitation inevitable This has been true for
many years. And now the in1atiOnary pres
sures from this source are far stronger than
ever. Under U. S. Treasury policy, the Fed
eral Reserve System has been forced to buy
more and more government bonds to hold the
price at par. The result is a vast increase in
our money supply-in currency, checking
and savings deposits, and the spendable as
sets of individuals and businesses. In the
final half of last year alone, currency in cir
culation increased by S7,200OO0 900, and
$3000 100000 of that came in the single
month of December. The increase in the
volume of money corresponds closely to the
increase in prices, or the falling purchasing
power of the dollar, whichever way you wish
to state it. What this means, in the words of
u. S. News & World Report, is that "the
supply of money is increasing faster than
the supply of goods, and, as a result, prices
are being pushed to new high levels" The
seriousness of it is found in a report by a
group of Chicago University economists,
which said, "The price rise of the last six
months could almost certainly have been
largely or wholly avoided. Prices would
probably be little above their level in May if
the Federal Reserve System had kept it's
holding of government securities unchanged,
instead of adding to them by SO, 500, 100000 :"
To quote u. S. News once more, "A Federal
Reserve purchase of a government security
has the same effect as printing money The
Federal Reserve wants to stop buying these
government securities in order to prevent
more imitation. 1t cannot do so under exist
ing Treasury policy. The upShOt is that your
dollar steadily loses Value-and your savings
buy less and less.

the very best hedge, but in the long it should
turn out to be a pretty good thing when cash is
worth little and when other values dip accordingly
However, do not generally recommend that my
readers go out and buy farm with the idea of
growing produce feeding cattle or hogs to sell
commercially. Farming today is too specialized for
any such hit or miss approach. What 1 advocate is
that every city family who can afford it should own
sustenance farm as insurance, capable of shelter
ing and supporting them in emergency
Readers who are now engaged in cattle raising
dairy farming and in producing large grain crops,
often write asking me what think Of the prospects
for the coming year in these fields. In my opinion
cattle prices generally will be we'll maintained over
the next six months. Heavy employment at high
wages should result in continued high demand for
beef do not anticipate that such demand will be
adversely affected, to any substantial extent by the
imposition of still higher individual income taxes
in 1851.
LOWER PROFITS POSSIBLE
While cattle pfices should remain at relatively
high levels increased producing costs generally may
further cut profit margins in 1851, thus immeasur-
ably increasing the risk in stock cattle farming.
Breeding herds that grow in numbers should man-
tain their value even in the face of such declines
provided you keep sharp eye on local conditions,

i. n. ConciIiators Quit
Attempts al Settling
Israel Arab Dispute
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Nov. 21.-The United
Nations Palestine Cancellation
Commission announced today its
failure to settle Arab-Israeli diff
ferences.
The commission said it had
called off the fruitless talks be-
gun here August 10 because
neither party showed willingness
TO make concessions.
The group-made up TO repre-
sentativeS of the United States,
France and Turkey-noW is draft
ing a report of its failure to the
General Assembly. 1t then will be
up to the Assembly to decide
whether the commission should be
hquidated or continued in exist
ence.
The three-man commission no
tined both Israel and the Arab
governments. which have been
consulting with it, that wide diff
ferences between the two sides
made it useless to continue nego-
tlationS at thi slime.
Refuse to Deal Directly.
The commission. originally Gre
ated by the General Assembly in
1e48. has been making a new peace
attempt in Paris since last sum-
mer. 1t has been unable, how
ever, to get the two parties to sit
down together because of Arab
refusal to deal directly with the
Israeli representatives
Acting as a go-between, the
commission had offered its own
proposals to break the deadlock
and had frequently met with Is
raeli and Arab representatives
separately. |
The principal stumbling block
continued to be the question of
repatriating thousands of Arab
refugees who fled from Palestine
during the l948 fighting. !,
Jordan Cooperative.
The Arabs insisted the question
must be settled before any other
problems were taken up. Israel
contended that the refugee prob
lem should be discussed as part
OF the broader general question of
peace treaty.
OF Israel's four Arab neighbors ,
Egypt, Syria. Lebanon and ,
Hashemite Jordan-only Jordan
showed any evidence of wishing
to obtain quick settlement. On
several occasions, Jordan was
charged by her Arab allies with
trying to make a separate peace.
But any conclliatory attitude
Jordan may have had was lost
in dealings with the commission.
The commission moved to
Lausanne. Switzerland, after mi
tlal meetings in the Middle East.
For eight months it tried fruit
lessly to map out a formula which
would bring the two disputing
factions together.
