Harry has come up with a new
Golden Out-of-order Plan"
Harry says he first tried his plan
in a North Carolina city where
Negroes make up 80 per cent Of
the population. It all started when
he induced a department store
manager to shut off the water in

and put up a sign, "Out of Order"
For the first day or two whites
were hesitant, but little by little
they began to sip from the water
fountain labeled "colored." BY the
end of the third week everyone
was drinking from the same
fountain-and not a single COM
plant to date.
Israel is dotted with scores of
hospitals, medical clinics, libraries,
cultural centers and other institu-
tons built with funds contributed
by American Trade Unionists who
wanted to express their solidarity
with Histadrut, Israeli Fedora
ton Of Labor. The men and wo-
men who use these buildings know
how they came to be built. In at
least one case, the name of such
a building has passed into the
language. At Elath, where the

DRY Of the late Philip Murray. His
tadrut members can be heard to
say that they are going to the

this center, which was attended
by Walter Reuther, was an i'm

future to be able to commemor-

equally appropriate manner.
Americans throughout the ma
ton have been urged to recognize
that the South's White Citizens
Council are a national menace
rather than a purely regional
problem. The statement was made
by the Catholic Interracial Coun-
Gil.
The White Citizens Councils, the
statement declared, threaten our
democratic way of life" and "the
peace and security of American
citizens in other parts Of the ma

Because the Councils are a ma

maintained, their existence and
activities should challenge the at
tention and interest Of Americans
everywhere"
The Citizens Councils were des-
crbed in the statement as a racist
organization which has launched
"a campaign Of hatred. violence

which has taken on the pattern

THE WEEK IN
RECORDS

Nerve records is re-lving one Of
the most historic eras in Jazz with
their new volume series OF albums
on the late Charlie Parker Cen
orally recognized as the most in
strumental figure in the develop
ment Of modern jazz, Bird" as
Parker was affectionately nick
named, is heard in his most scin-
tillating moods in all Of the tracks.
One Of the albums, called "Swed-
ish Schnapps' finds the Bird in a
relaxed and crescendo state of
mind. Here he emits the rapid-fire
ideas and changes that made him
ruler Of the roost" in alto horn
jazz. On another track called
Bird and Dir, Parker teams up
with Dizzy Gillespie, another high
ranking figure on the jazz scene.
Together, their date is a most
memorable one.
The six-album Verve jazz pack
age is devoted entirely to Bird $
music and involves several re-
takes. Many Of Parker's famed
standards are waxed in the
tracks. This corner reviewed Vol
umes 4, 5, 6, 7, s and plus a
seventh side called Bird and Dir. d"
Anyone possessing the slightest
fOndness or knowledge Of the best
in jazz will enjoy many hours Of
unique modern sound in Parker's
melodies which have set the pace
in the jazz world and left an in
delible imprint on the jazz sands
Of time. Parker is dead but his
sounds live on.
Decca Records is up with Louis
and the Angels" an album featur-
ing some of the all-ume favorite
pop tunes by Louis Armstrong
Under the orchestra and chorus
direction Of Sy Oliver, Louis does
such tunes as when Did You
Leave Heaven" Fools Rush In,
and And The Angels Sing"
Satchmo is quite fascinating on
the horn in the track in addition
to the splendor Of his coarsely-
unique voice. In general the track
is a real crazy affair.
Decca also utilized the vocal
talents Of Sammy Davis Jr., and
contrived a side called Sammy
Swings" wherein the multi-tal-
ented little man takes off on a
little Temptation" "Old Black
Magic" and Begin the Beguine.'
The track in itself is an education
in music Of a pops nature. The
varied and singularly commend
able deHations Of Davis voice in
the session produce a wonderful
musical listening pastime. Clever
arrangement enhance the quality
Of Davis in the track.

ever widening spread. In 1855 as compared
to 1949, for example, the spread had in
creased by cents per pound at retail more
than the live weight equivalent price.
A choice grade fed steer weighing about
1000 pounds results in 590-600 pounds of
beef carcass. The carcass then becomes 47O-
40O pounds of retail cuts on the meat count
er. The progressive loss in weight is ac-
counted for by head, feet hide, bones, en-
trails, blood, excess fat and other wastes.
If this 1000 pound steer sold at $21.55
per 100 pounds live the value would be
$215.5O. In order to be of the same value.
a 59O-6O0-pound carcass must sell at S35 90
to 1858 per 100 pounds The 47O-48O
pounds of retail meat cuts must in turn
sell at an average for all cuts at S44.9O-
S45.85 per 100 pounds.
Thus, there must be an increase of about
"A cents per pound even if there were no
marketing costs whatsoever.
From 1850 to 1856 the marketing margin

ing expenses to those of the feeder cattle.
Packers or Slaughterers, wholesalers, job
berS and retailers then have the expenses
of Slaughtering, processing, transporting,
storing and selling of the beef
From the time a calf is born until it
reaches the meat counter as beef, year and
half to two years or more may have
passed. In the meantime there probably will
have been considerable fluctuation in the
marketing margins for beef There is no
fixed relationship between the prices of cat
tie and the prices of beef at any particular
point In the marketing system.
Margins Vary
Margins vary from place to place and
from one time to another, particularly in
the short run. Weekly and monthly fluctu-
ations in beef margins are due chiefly to
the fact that there is much more variation
In the supply of beef coming into the
marketing system than there is in the cost
of operating the marketing system.
Longer term trends in widening or mar
rowing margins indicate basic changes in
the costs of marketing or in profits. Widen
ing may be caused by additional demands
for services by consumers or a rise in the
costs of existing services.
Marketing margins are difficult to 'spin
down" because of wide variations in costs
prices and returns to the numerous people
involved at different times and different
conditions. Such difficulty is no excuse
however, for not making continuous study
of the problems involved.
Spread Increases
With specific reference to beef marketing
margins it should be noted that during the
last 10 years the difference between prices
at retail and prices received by producers
has varied greatly and tended toward an
Montana farmer-stockman., 1957-05-01

WHY Is IHERE so much difference be-
tween the price of live animal and the
price of steak on the meat counter?
The subject of marketing costs and
margins is one of perennial interest to pro-
ducerS of farm products as we'll as to con-
Sumers. The latter are inclined to think
that food prices are too high while farmers
and ranchers feel that the prices they re-
ceive are too low. Depending on the prod
uct, time and circumstances either group,
both, or neither may be right.
Marketing costs are the actual dollars
and cents amounts of money which are paid
to perform the various activities involved
in the processing and distribution of food
products. Marketing margins are the diff
ferences between the prices paid by con-
Sumers and the prices received by the farm
er and rancher.
In the case Of beef the marketing margin
is the difference between the price con-
sumers pay at the grocery store for cuts of
beef and the price the producer receives
for an equivalent quantity of live cattle.
Costs Start Soon
Typically, the marketing of beef begins
when the rancher decides to sell calves or
yearlings at the end of the summer grazing
season. From that time until the steer be-
comes beef on the meat counter a great
many things happen and many items of
cost are incurred.
The costs of selling or marketing feeder
cattle depend in part upon the channels
used. The producer may sell at the ranch
to a dealer or a feeder or he may sell
through an auction market or terminal
market. If sales are made at an established
market there are costs such as StOckyard
company charges for feeding and watering
and other services and commission firm
fees.
Transportation is major marketing ex-
penSe which may be paid directly by the
rancher if he ships the cattle or paid indi-
rectIy by accepting a lower price at the
ranch if sold to buyer or feeder. Another
indirect cost of transportation is that of
Shrinkage. In transportation cattle lose
weight through excretory or tissue shrink
age or both. Usually Shrinkage is accounted
for in a percentage reduction in weight or
price when sales are made at the ranch.
Range to Feed Lot
Once through the marketing channels
the typical range calf or steer is fed for
period of to II months. Then, when ready
for slaughter the fat stock may again be
sold through an auction or terminal market
or direct to the packer with similar market
