Farm Facts

Farm people make up one-sev-
enth of the U. S. population. If the
trend continues at its present rate,
the percentage will be only one
tenth by 1875.
Middle size farms are decreasing,
EUc big and little farms are on the
increase. The middle size farm is
either being combined to make
larger farms or being cut up for
small country places.
If a farmer gave his wheat away,
a pound loaf Of white bread would
still cost about IA cents. If he gave
away his cotton, $S.75 shirt would
still cost about $3.42. If he gave
away his corn, package of corn
flakes would cost the housewife
about eleven cents.
One billion tons of manure, the
annual product of livestock on Am-
erican farms, if completely recover
ed, carefully preserved, and effi-
GENTLY used. should produce six
billion dollars worth OF increase in
crop production.
u. S. farmers are raising a rec
ord crOD of 58,956,00O turkeys this
year-13 percent. more than last
year, according to the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
English and Scottish farmers
have improved their hay quality
by applying nitrogen fertilizers a
few days before cutting. The pro-
tein content of such hay. dry or as
silage, is higher than that of or
binary hay.
The U. S. Air Force depends on
good grass covers to reduce dust
between airport strips. This prac-
tice can actually prOlOng the life
of an airplane engine by as much
as 25 percent.
Farmers have been raising more
Beltsyille White turkeys in the last
three years to meet a year-rOund
market demand for young turkeys
weighing AS pounds dressed. The
1862 crop of BelksVille Whites is
80 percent more than last year.
Insects take a heavier toll d
forage and pasture lands than mos
people give them credit for, sav'
the u. S. Department OF Agr'cul
ture. For example, is grasshon

Food Prices Up
After Vacations

Returning vacatiOners are finding
food prices higher than when they
left, check by the regional Office
of Price Sterilization disclosed this
week.
Most fresh fruits and vegetables
are even higher than they were a
week ago, even though the harvest
.seansOn is now at its peak, Joseph
J. McBryan,, regional OPS director
tor Pennsylvania, Delaware and
southern New Jersey, reported.
Prices were higher also for a
wide variety of canned goods as
they continue to show the double
effects Of price decOntrOl legislated
by Congress, and this years much
higher prices for farm products
generally.
Recent heavy rains, coming hard
upon destructive dTOughts, were
blamed by farmers for much of the
increase, McBryan said
Meanwhile, responsible food in
dustry sources forecast another
/ l'OtctlO SAAOA ldSS GdA4y HCAC OpA III s.
with higher prices, when this years
record low crop runs out, OPS
warned. AS proof, present potato
prices were cited. These are already
more than twice as high as a year
ago with no price controls to prpe-
vent their further sweep upward
later.
On the brighter side, OPS an
noGnced that present price ceilings
on food would be retained, despite
higher raw material costs, in all
cases where price controls on food
remain in effect In line with this
policy, OPS last week refused can
ners higher price ceilings on can
ned soup.
Following its earning standard
formula, such price ceilings will be
raised only if Gamers and other
manufacturer can prove. profits
nave dropped below IS percent OF
pre-KOrean levels in their industry
as a whole, McBryan said.
