Meet Is Bargain
Ample Supplies, But Slightly Higher
Prices Predicted For Meat This Year

high as rney did in 1851 and 1852
Carter points out that meat prices
have not been rising as fast as
wages and incomes. and meat is
more and more of a bargain. )"
Forty years ago the average worker
had to spend twice as much time at
his job to earn enough to buy a
given piece of meat as he does to-
day.
Retail prices OF choice beef are
expected to change little from re-
cent levels. and to stay little
above 1856 prices during the winter
and spring. Next fall prices may not
advance as much as they did this
past season.
Seasonal gains for pork during the
next couple of months will carry
price tags well above the depressed
prices Of early 1856. The higher
level Of pork prices will likely con-
tinue most Of the year except for
usual seasonal changes.
Retail prices for lamb and mutton
will likely be strengthened by a
slight ease-up in supplies of other
red meats, and are expected to
average a little higher in the first
half Of 1857 than in early 1856 A
seasonal price incre Sc seems
probable this spring The summer
and fall decline should be about
normal unless farmers withhold
sheep and lambs from market in
order to build up flocks.

A dollar each is too high for or

CUES tons of The Week

Editors note: Here are the ques-
tons asked most frequently by Vir-

answers.

sows and keep them on pasture to

idea 1t makes sanitation much

Alfalfa Alone?
Or Use It With
Orchard Grass

Should alfalfa be seeded alone Or
with orchard grass?
The decision must be made by
the individual farmer but there are
pros and cons on both sides, say
agronomists at VPI.
Factors favoring mixtures: A
mixture is more flexible-has more
uses. There is a better chance for
a successful stand. Orchard grass
will usually grow in areas Of the
field where the alfalfa fails because
of soil conditions. Grass makes cur
ing easier. Generally the total yield
of an alfalfa-orchard grass stand is
greater than that of alfalfa alone.
especially when the alfalfa begins to
thin.
For alfalfa alone: The market
value of straight alfalfa hay is
higher than for alfalfa-grass mix
lures. During extremely dry years.
alfalfa alone has yielded slightly
more than alfalfa-grass mixtures.
The reverse is true in years of nor
NAL or higher than-normal rainfall.
The agronomists say that although
the market apparently does not
realize it, alfalfa orchard grass mix
lures. with the exception Of the first
cutting, have higher feeding value
than straight alfalfa The first cut
ting. if cut when orchard grass is
heading out but before fun bloom.
is not appreciably lower In feeding
value than the first cutting Of al
falfa alone.
If you are setting your first al
falfa, it is usually best for you to u.s.
a mixture Since alfalfa is one 0f
the most eXacting crops as to soil
lime, plant food, and other needs
you may fail to get a satisfactory
stand when these needs are not
met The use of orchard grass with
alfalfa viii help insure a satisfac-
tory stand Of hay mixture in many
cases where the stand Of alfalfa
alone would be unsatisfactory

Supplies of meat will be ample
this year. but consumers will pay
slightly higher prices than they did
last year, especially for pork.
That's the forecast from S. H.
Carer. assistant agricultural econo-
mist at VPI. He says last year a
new record was set for meat pro-
duction and consumption in this
country, breaking the previous high
established in 1908. Although ample,
1857 supplies are expected to be a
little below those Of last year. Pro
duction will probably be cut most
during the first half of the year,
with most of the reduction in pork.
Pork prices will likely be below
the level established in 1858 and
1854, and beef prices will not go as

presented brief overall picture Of
the agricultural and home economic
situation of the county. The desire
to make additional Improvements

to the election of the steering COM

This steering committee indicated
that they would call further meet

and home work are important parts
Of the agricultural development Of
the county
Striplin used frequent examples
from charts to show and explain
the changes in livestock. forage
crops. tobacco, etc. in the county in
recent years.
Striplin pointed out that since 1880
the average farm size has increased
but the number of farms is de-
creasing Smaller farms are be-
coming uneconomical, he said
from his charts.
In population change, Striplin
said that there were 1888 people
in the county and about 1000 were
engaged in farming. This is approx
mately the same number on the
farm as it was 80 years ago, but
the overall population has increased.

Strlplin showed that there is more
woodland than there are pastures
