output probably will be slightly below
the record production in 1855.
The accompanying chart shows how
total farm output has climbed in spite
of a rather stable acreage Of harvested
crops for the last IS years. Better
farming methods and the shift of nearly
one-fourth of the harvested crop
acreage from producing horse feed, are
causes of the rise in production for
human use. 1t has been considerably
faster in the last 20 to 80 years than
growth of population. Acreage allot-
ments and marketing quotas have not
checked this uptrend.
The farm price level probably will
be lower than in 1855, but may average
near where it is now, which is 6 or
per cent below the 1855 average.
1t may recover slightly in the next
few months. The downtrend has been
under way nearly five years. If any
further decline does occur, it is likely
to be small and slow.
Farm cash receipts probably will be

While 1856 promises to bring tight
er times, many farmers will be able
to improve their individual results.
Here are a few major points of
attack:
1. Concentrate more effort on the
more profitable enterprises, consid-
ering the adaptation of your soil,
buildings and equipment and your
know how" Enlarge the enterprises
that pay best on your farm.
2. Strive to reduce your unit costs
by obtaining high crop yields and
high production from livestock. Weed
out the ''boarders." Use adequate
amounts of fertilizer for all crops
and ample protein feed for livestock.
8. Produce more per man or per
hour of labor. Work out short cuts
and more convenient arrangements
in buildings. Have farm unit of eff
ficient size to use your time and
equipment to good advantage. Buy
or rent additional land where neces
sary for that purpose or hire out for
custom work if you can't obtain land.
4. Plow back earnings to make
the farm more productive through
such steps as drainage, and grass
land improvement.
5. Keep your credit good by be-
ing conservative in mourning debt,
prompt payment of obligations and
keeping up the farm plant.
6. Cut your coat according to your
cloth in OUTLAWS for family living. Be
thrifty in all expenditures.

down to 5 per cent from the nearly
90 billion dollars received in 1855.
Prices will average lower and volume
of farm produce marketed won't show
much change. Receipts are likely to
be slightly larger from livestock and
smaller from crops because of further
acreage restrictions and lower support.
Net farm income won't be down quite
as much as cash receipts. With less
money coming in, farmers will econ
omize and use less of certain goods
and services or make old things do.
Farm production cost rates probably
will average about the same in 1856 as
in 1855. Taxes of farm property are
likely to be up about 5 per cent. In
terest charges will be higher because
of greater long-term and short-term
farm debt and a slight increase in av-
erage interest rates on new loans.
Money will be little harder to borrow
because of tightening of the supply by
the Federal Reserve Board.
Farm wage rates probably will av-
erage higher because of the uptrend in
industrial wages and the increase in
the minimum legal. wage. Services re-
quiring urban labor probably will be
higher
Prices for autos, trucks, farm nipple
ments, barn equipment, fencing, baling
wire, motor fuel, tires building material
and paint are likely to be higher this
year. However, some of the increases
in motor equipment and farm tool
prices may be reduced or cancelled
later on, or may be offset by better
trade-ins.
Prices for fertilizers and pesticides
probably will average about the same
as in 1855. Some may be lower an6
others higher.
Costs of products and services useC
in farm family living probably will av
erage about the same as in 1855. Pur
chased food may be slightly cheaper
and clothing about the same, but mos
industrial goods and urban service:
farm families use will be higher.
Farm program changes will depent
on new action by Congress. Some ad
ditional support of farm income prob
ably will be enacted, but only time vii
tell what and how much it will be an
when it will go into effect. No chang
that would radically alter farm incom
prospects for this year is likely.
Beef cattle supplies probably will b
slightly larger and prices will averag
lower than in 1855. Total cattle nun
bers will continue near the record peal
The calf crop will be about as larg

last year, but is likely to be smaller in
the last half of 1856. Feeders will have
losses or only small profits for some
time, but will do better later in the
year. Prices for grass cattle probably
will average near 1855 levels unless
drouth forces liquidation.
Hog supplies probably will be to
10 per cent larger and prices lower
in the next six to eight months than
year earlier. The hog-corn ratio prob
ably will continue below normal. 1t
may cause a decline in the spring pig
crop which will lead to cyclical rise
in prices starting after mid-1956. Thus
far, signs of such a change in pro-
duction are faint. Cutting breeding
herds back near 1854 levels appears
necessary to restore profitable prices.
Lamb supplies probably will be slight
" smaller and prices, including the
wool compensatory payment, may av-
erage about the same as in 1855. The
market price for wool plus the incen-
tive payment will bring growers re-
turns to 60 cents a pound, the same
as for the 1855 clip. Expansion of flocks
because of the incentive payment is not
evident as yet, but may start in 1856.
Milk production probably will be
slightly larger than in 1855. The best
returns over feed cost in several years
are stimulating a little expansion.
Slightly better demand may hold prices
for milk for fluid use to about the same
level as a year earlier. Prices for man.
ufacturing milk and butterfat after
April l will depend on whether the sup
port level is changed. The government
may have to buy more butter and
cheese to support prices than in 1855
when it bought, in whole milk equiva-
lent, about 46 billion pounds out of 124.5
billion pounds produced.
Laying flocks will be more profitable
than in 1855. Egg prices will average
higher and returns over feed cost SUBJ
stantially better Poultrymen probably
will raise more pullets to start laying
next fall, but will have fewer old hens.
Demand will continue strong Com
mercial broilermen are upping pro-
duction substantially. With red meats
lower, prices for farm chickens and
commercial broilers probably will av-
erage lower in 1856. The price decline
won't be fully offset by lower costs,
so that profit margins will be less.
Turkey growers appear to be making
plans for record crop which will mean
substantially smaller profits than in
1855.
Wheat prices will average lower than
in 1855 because of the lower support
with further drop of q cents a bushel
scheduled for the 1856 crop. UndeSira-
BILE varieties will be discounted. In
creasing stocks tend to reduce the eff
fectiveness of the supports Size of the
new crop will depend on weather
Acreage allotments are at the lega
minimum, but with normal weather
the crop will meet domestic and export
needs and prevent any reduction in the
huge carryover stocks. Any change il
the farm program may be directed par
ticularly toward solving the whea
problem.
Minor grain prices will continue low
er than last year through the first hal
of 1856. Thereafter they will depend o.

larger number of persons employed
swelled wage and salary payments.
EMPLOYMENT will continue near the
man-power limit.
Consumers have been spending
higher proportion of their income and
saving less than normal Also, they
have been spending larger proportion
of their future income than usual by
large installment purchases. Install
ment debt increased five billion dollars
in the past year and is about 10 per
cent of consumers dispoSable income.
A recent survey indicates that con-
sumers may be more conservative in
1856. They may not spend all of their
increase in income and, with the Fed
eral Reserve Board putting the brakes
on borrowing, they may not buy as
much on credit. The survey indicates
that a substantial number of consumers
find it hard to keep up their payments.
Population increased 2.8 million, or
about 16 per cent, in the year ending
November 1. That was equal to city
the size of Philadelphia and one like
Boston. A similar addition to the num-
Der of consumers to be fed and clothed
will be made this year, but it will
absorb only minor part of the farm
surplus.
Consumer demand for food probably
will be stronger in 1856 because of the
larger number to be fed and their
higher incomes. Consumer spending for
foods at retail was about 46.3 billion
\ dollars in 1855, up Is per cent from
1854 1t has risen rather steadily in the
last four years during which the farm
ers' share of the amount paid by con-
sumers dropped from $20.3 billion to
1873 billion and processing and market
ing charges increased from $227 billion
to % billion.
Consumer spending for products
made from farm-grown fibers prob
ably will increase next year. 1t was
larger in 1855 than in 1854 However,
the proportion of their disposable in
come consumers spend for such prod
ucts has been decreasing for several
years.
Exports of farm produce probably
will continue at the increased rate es-
tablished in the past year, but will be
considerably less than in wartime and
early postwar years. The increase in
1855 reflected some recovery in foreign
buying power, but was largely due to
new governmental programs to export
farm SURPRISES through gifts, cut-rate
sales, barter arrangements and sales
for soft currencies.
Government efforts to spur exports
may be intensified in the year ahead
However, the rise in farm output i:
worldwide and is reducing world prices
so that surplus disposal may be in
creasingly difficult. High costs and sup
ports hold our prices out of line; hence
farm exports are highly dependent OIL
governmental subsidies rather thai
normal commercial transactions. Los
of war-created export markets had
major role in the decline in farm price
and incomes in the last few years.
Volume of farm produce sold, or de
ivered to the government, in 1856 prof
ably will be about as large as in 1885,

New Cleanup
System Set Up

A new system for enforcing
cleanup of nuisances-such as

was set up today by the District
Commissioners.
The system. growing out of the
city's reorganization program.
will let the Departments of Pub
lie Health and Licenses and In

missioners' order.
Similarly, the Departments Of
Sanitary Engineering and Of
Buildings and Grounds will be
able to do the cleanup work
without a Commissioners order
if the property owners cannot
be found or fail to do the work.
The new system also will let
the District tax assessor charge
the cost Of city cleanup work to
the tax bill for the property in
volved, again without first OBJ
tanning a Commissioners order.

man said the city sometimes has
as many as 100 complaints a
month, but that most are cleared
up by property owners. Only
about 10 a month are handled by
the city and charged against tax
