Northeast Catholic was taller
than GonZaga Saturday night,
but the height difference wasn't

Brooklyn clubs main culprit, of

probably the finest big school,

coach, took the loss philosoph-
Iically. I'VE played in front OF

Tommy Matan, Jim ODonnell

often and the Terriers pulled
away steadily after the score
was tied five times in the first

season for Larkin Sonny Wee
don, defending champion of both
the District Major and Minor
Leagues, but over the week end
he made up for a lot of dis
appointment. He won one i'm
portant tournament and shared
the championship in another.

Saturday at Clarendon. The next
evening Sonny won the inaugu-
raj of the Rockville Open to earn

with class, although the Rock

attracted a smaller field than
promised. Forty competed.
Clarendon will be the focal
point of duckpin interest again

consider the relation Of costs TO re-
turns as well. The best profit position
will be where the greatest difference is
found between receipts and costs. When
this includes every operation on the
farm we say that it has reached an
"Optimum position insofar as profit
is concerned. This is the balance the
dairyman is striving for
Each farm requires a different COM
binatiOn of its elements. These are con-
tinually changing, and the optimum ar
rangement changes with them. In
general production can be pushed up as
long as the gains made are greater
than the added costs. Once the costs
of making a gain are likely to exceed
the value of that gain there is no point,
in going on.
Price Makes Difference
What the dairyman gets for his milk
on the market makes difference, too.
When the price rises he can spend
more on pushing up production. How
far he can go could be determined if
he knew exactly the cost of producing
each additional 100 pounds of milk. He
would stop when the sale value of
the next 100 pounds produced would not
cover its cost. If he reaches an opti-
mum and milk prices fall, he cannot af-
ford to spend as much on keeping pro-
duction up. He should adjust to a
lower level of production unless costs
of his inputs such as feed have come
down in proportion to the drop in milk
price.
But what is good practice for one
dairy farmer is not necessarily good
for neighboring one. The dairyman
still has to be the worlds best manager
in order to meet a rigid dairy routine
and stand ready to adjust to every
changing circumstance.

IT'S GRADUATION time again. Many
young farm men and women are faced
with making a decision about their
future. Now that student days are over
what are the alternatives?
Farming and ranching will be con-
sidered by some. But entering the farm
or ranch business today poses many
difficulties for these young people
However many older farmers will be
eligible for social security benefits this
year and this may result in more farm
ing opportunities than we have seen
for long time. Retirement payments
allowed under social security will make
it possible for many older farmers to
retire who could not have done so other
wise.
Limit on Earned Income
In fact, as the law stands now, it
may be necessary for those farmers be-
tween 65 and Y to turn their farms
over to tenants or take other action
before they can draw retirement bene-
fits. This is so because the law puts
limitation on the amount of earned in
come an operator may have and still
draw retirement benefits between ages
65 and To-.
Patterson Agreement
The Patterson agreement has helped
many people. The youngsters find it
desirable way to get start. The old
sters find it a satisfactory way of
making the difficult adjustment from
active farming and ranching to happy
retirement. The arrangement works
equally as well between two non-related
parties as between father and son.
The principle of the profit-sharing
Patterson agreement is really very
simple. 1t calls for sharing the profits
of the business in proportion to contri-
buttons by each party.
Usually the son Cor the younger oper-
atOr) owns little or none of the oper-
ating capital. His main contribution to
the business is his labor.
Determine Contribution
The first step in working out the
agreement is to determine exactly what
contribution each party is making to
the business. This requires estimating
the value of all capital assets which
are charged at the current mortgage
interest rate. Operating expenses are
estimated and value is placed on the
labor contributed by each party. This
process gives us an estimate of how
the gross farm income should be split
at the end of the year.
For example, take the case in which
