Marketing Cost
Continues To Rise

Farmers are wondering why they
don't get more money from their
crops, and city people wonder why
they have to pay so much for food.
Few can realize where the dollar
goes and why it is spent as it is.
Willard T. McAllister, extension
marketing specialist at the Univer-
sity of Delaware, points out that
farmers are receiving less today
than they did eight years ago. Why
is there a change?
This year farmers have received
only 46 cents out of each dollar
spent for food. The other 81 cents
went to the middleman., The OppO-
site was true eight years ago.
Fifty-fOur cents went to the farm
er and as cents went to middleman.
Does this mean that the middleman
today is making a much bigger
profit than he did eight years ago?
No, he isn't. Instead, the cost of
marketing has gone up higher and
stayed up while farm prices have
declined.
McAllister makes the two fol-
lowing points: /. Cost of food to
consumer is affected more by mar
keting costs than by production
costs. 2. Some farmers individual
ly or as a group may be able to
do the marketing job cheaper or
better than a distant middleman.
There are especially good Oppor-
tunities in Delaware to sell eggs,
chickens, turkeys, honey, vege-
tables, and fruits individually, to

mo two Of these numbers are the
same" he added
The numbers preserve the iden-
tity Of each worker and his earn
ings account, making possible the
principle that social security bene-
fits are geared to the amount of
each persons own earnings.
"The confusion, trouble, expense,
and possible loss of benefit pay
ments that result from reporting a
name without number, or with
an incorrect number, are not re-
stricted to the Smiths" Mr.. Mil
bouer pointed out. Social Security
accounts are kept for nearly a
million JOhnsons, and S57,753
Browns, 73O,S84 Williamses, and
696,12O Joneses.
Even if you have name as un-
usual as that of a character in a
Charles Dickens novel, don't rely
on it alone to identify your social
security account" the manager
cautioned. He said that you'd be

usual names are not so unusual
where the social security records
arc concerned.
He advised workers not to at
tempt to memorize their social
security number. "a change or
transpOsition of one digit might re-
suit in crediting your earnings to
another person." he declared.
In conclusion, Nrr. Milbouer said,
''NO matter whether your name is
John Smith or IchabOd Crane, be
sure that it is reported along with
your number just as both appear
on your social security card. If you
change your name, ask for another
card, which will show your new
name but the old number. Once a
social security number is issued to
you, it is yours for life. It is your
link to the record of your earnings
which will set the amount of your
payments"

Sap Beetle Control
Tested At Substation


Sweet corn acreage is increasing
in Delaware, and so is a sweet
corn pest-the sap beetle. Entomo-
logists are studying control of this
small black beetle at the Univer-
sity Research SubstatiOn at George
town. The plots will be on display
August 5th, at the annual Farm
Field Day.
Several newer insecticides such
as malathOn and parathiOn are be-
ing tested.
I'm 1862, the first year of the
project, several insecticides were
tested and some gave good CONTROL"
says Richard F. Darsie, assistant
professor in charge of the studies.
But the timing of application
seems to be just as important as
the kind of insecticide. This year
we are investigating the best time
OF application, as we'll as the best
type of insecticide."
Darsie says sap beetles have
been increasing in Delaware for
the past five years, and are be-
coming a major sweet corn pest.
These beetles enter the ears and
lay their eggs. The larvae that
hatch from the eggs eat the young
kernels. This reduces quality, es-
pecially for processing, which is
the major outlet for Delaware
sweet corn. In 1852, over 5000
acres of sweet corn, worth 1852 900
were grown for processing in Del
aware.
The experiment involves one acre
of IOchief sweet corn, and will be
repeated in 1854. Resistance of
sweet corn varieties to the sap
beetle is also under study, and
will be shown at Field Day. Men
will be at each plot to answer
questions.
