Arp President Says
Prospects Good For
Ample Foods In '55

The year 1855 should be a good
food year for the Nations con-
sumers, with supplies plentiful,
prices steady and continued inn
provement in quality and. service,
Ralph W. Burger president Of
Arp Food Stores said today.
During 1854" Mr.. Burger said,
aThe food industry achieved sub
stantial improvement in its pro-
ducts and services, and at the same
time the cost Of food to consumers
came down. Although it is difficult
TO anticipate what will happen to
food supplies and prices in ad-
vance Of any growing season, the
outlook is for another good year
IN 1856"
Among important changes which
made for general lower consumer
costs in 1854, the Arp president
noted, we're the facts that coffee
prices dropped below 81 per pound
during the Fall and that meat
prices continued to decline for the
third straight year. In addition,
prices. for butter and eggs were
down substantially from the pre-
ceding year.
eff we are to continue the pro-
gress of the past year, however,
we must make real efforts to mar
row the spread between farm and
retail prices. Today, with many Of
the food industTy's fixed expenses
still on the rise, we must seek
mOney-saving efficiencies along
the farm-tO-market route If we
are to achieve better income for
producers and lower prices for
consumers.
"This is especially true in the
case Of food suTpluses which must
be moved into consumption at a
price that will insure an adequate
return to the producer as well as
attractive prices to consumers" J."
Mr.. Burger said that the food in
dustry itself had a good year in
1854, with sales exceeding even
the banner year Of 1858.
I'VE must remember, however
that sales gains are only desirable,
he cautioned, when they are the
result Of increased consumption
rather than increased prices"
He also cautioned against cost.
" competitive practices, such as
excessively leng store hours, the
merchandising of nOn-fOOd lines
and expensive pTomotional activi-
ties.
Factors that tend to push retail
prices up are higher labor anC
transportation costs and consumer
demand for more "built-in" ser
vices, such as ready-to-coOk anC
pre-coOked foods.
There should be no confusion,
Mr.. Burger said, cover the role tina
profits play in retail food prices
Food merchants operate on tht
lowest net profit rates in the retail
industry. Their earnings have lit
tie effect on the prices on the farm
or In the super market.%
Mr.. Burger said the outlook in
dicates that farmers viii again
produce near-recOrd food quaint
ties ia 1855. IL the actual prOduc
ton lives up to current estimates
yields win be close to those o
1854, which were only slightly be
low the all-time high reached il
1916.
Agriculture is proving that j
can grow plenty Of food for on
expanding population: and bot
farmers and professors are meet
ing the consumers demands 70
foods Of Superior quality" Mi
Burger added. GAS result
Americans are eating better tOda
than ever before"

Boston Doge's easy triumph
at s furlongsl in Saturdays Ex-
detrimental Handicap apparently
left unanswered the question
whether the little Boston-owned
colt OF Paul Andolino can go
the Derby distance Of a mile and
quarter.
The son Of the Doge, himself
known chiefly for his speed. won
by 8 lengths in HOS under
lis pounds. It was his fifth
triumph as a 3-year-old. all at
sprint distances. He was un-
beaten in four starts over New
England tracks last year and
didn't jump into prominence
until the Florida season. His
earning total only $47,420
Supporters Of Boston Doge
say he can make it mighty un-
comfortable for the more highly
regarded horses in longer races,
such as the Derby. On the
other side are those who con-
tend the fleet colt is too small
to carry the Derby weight of
126 pounds for the mile and a
quarter.
Boston Doge probably make
his next start in the 5000
added Governors Gold Cup at
Bowie April is. That also is a
6-furlong race. He has not
been named for the April %
running of the 500, 000-added
Wood Memorial. which figures
to be the last Derby prep for
Nashua and Summer Tan. It is
at a mile and one-sixteenth.
