An unofficial part of their job
is to receive the abuse Of citizens
reused to rage by the voting ma
chimes. Even now, after years OF
battling with levers, a lot of citi-
|zens can't operate the contraptions
correctly.
Try and Tell Them.
I'VE try to tell 'em what to do, .

You don't have to tell me how to

Happily. most voters are able
to impress their will upon the ma
chimes. But those defeated by the
levers are numerous enough to
keep boredom out Of the voting
places.
The judges and observers in q
nearby Virginia precinct ran into
the street after a woman who
ducked out Of the voting booth
without opening the curtain. She
hadn't operated the handle which
both opens the curtain and records
the vote. She came back and

University Predicts
farmers Net Income
Will Drop in 1853
By the Associated Press

Agricultural economists at ths
University Of Maryland predict
the farmers net income next yeal
will be lower than it is this year
Farmers will face still rising
costs. the specialists predict. while
the prices they receive will con.
tinue about the same or may ever
drop. z
Demand for farm crops will re-
main good, they say.
Here is a summary Of the out.
look prepared by the university:
department of agricultural eco.
nomics and marketing:
Milk-Prices for milk and mos
dairy products likely to average 6
little higher next year, but risins
production costs probably viii
keep net profits the same.
Broilers-Demand will remair
strong, but prices will be greatl,
Influenced by supply. If produc.
tion remains about the same
prices should average slightly
higher than the relatively low
prices Of early 1852. Feed costs
will go higher.
Beef-Prices expected to remain
below 1852. levels, rejecting ar
anticipated all-time record Of 8:
million head of cattle on the Ma
tion'S farms next January.
Eggs-Smaller number of layers
on farms should result in lower
production and high egg prices
during next spring.
Hogs-Although price increase
maybe small, profits may improve
next year due to an expected
lower cost of corn.
Tobacco-Prfces about the same
as 1852 unless attempts to amend
the price support law are sue
cessful. -.
Vegetables - Relatively high
prices this year may encourage
growers to plant larger acreages
in 1858. If weather conditions
are favorable, an increased supply
may depress prices, below 1862
levels.
