Boy Succumbs
TO Dog Bite

Durham, N. Ca, seven
year old youngster, Philip
Mclean, is dead. He was
bitten by a stray canine on
August 26. What had APP
peared to be an ordinary dog
bite turned out to be a ia
tai wound from a mad dog.
When it was discovered, the
boy was rushed to Duke Hos
pital. Everything humanity
possible was done in an eff
fort to save the child's life,
but at the outset, the doc
tors gave little hope. They
stated that there is no re-
corded instance in medical
history of recovery, once the
venom has been given time
to be carried over the entire
blood stream. The disease,
they said, is always fatal
unless it is treated immedi-
ately.

Farmer S Share Of Food
Dollar Set At IS Cents

How much does the farmer get
out of each dollar that city con-
sumerS spend for food products in
retail stores?
About As cents, on the average,
according to survey made by the
Agricultural Marketing Service
covering the year 1858. The re-
naming SIS cents is the share for
marketing - transportation Stor-
age, processing, and distribution.
And part of these costs go to pay
the million workers that it takes
to move these products from farms
to consumers.
Not all farmers share alike, ac-
cording to the survey, as their
share of the food dollar varies
widely by commodities and COM
modify groups.

average of SO cents out of each
dollar consumers spent for poultry
and eggs, but fruit and vegetable
growers got only 80 cents of each
dollar spent for their products. An
average of 49 cents out of each
dollar was returned to the dairy
man for his products, while the
livestock producer received about
SO cents for each dollar spent for
meat. Farmers averaged only %
cents of each dollar spent for grain
products such as bread, crackers.
and breakfast cereals.
Some farmers receive a larger
share of the consumers food dol
lar than others because their pro-
duct requires less marketing SER
vice. On the other hand. some
foods are marketed in forms that
are very different from the pro-
ducts as they leave the farm. For
example, the survey points out.
consumers do not buy wheat. They
buy bread and other bakery goods.

sides the flour made from the
Wneat. Similarly, consumers do not
buy cattle. They buy only piece
of the animal after 1t has been
slaughtered and proceSsed.
The marketing margin - the
spread between farm and retail
prices-is more fixed than farm
prices, the survey showed. When,
for example, the farmers price
for his product goes down because
of a bigger supply, costs of mar
keting are not directly or immedi-
ately reduced. They tend to hold
steady, the same as rent, taxes.
and wages.
Consumers today are buying
many services in connection with
food that were performed in the
home a few years ago. They buy
many ready prepared foods-foodS
that save much labor in the home,
but are costlier when bought in
thees forms. Indications are that
the trend toward more commercial
preparation of food is likely to
continue, particularly when con-
sumers have a high level of in
