University Staff
Adds Engineer

Robert B. Williams has re-
ceived an appointment to the
staff of the department of ag-
ronomy and agricultural engin-
eering at the University of Del
aware, according to an an
nouncement by Prof. Claude E.
Phillips, chairman of the de-
partment of agronomy and ag-
ricultural engineering.
Williams is a specialist in
farm buildings and will teach
on campus and work with the
agricultural extension service.
He received his Bachelor of
science degree in agricultural
engineering at the University
of Maine in 1857, and will COM
plete work for his masters de-
gree in the near future. Be-
fore coming here he was an in
structor at Maine for a year
and a half.
He was born in Brunswick,
Maine and attended Bridgton
Academy, North Bridgton,
Maine. He also studied one
year at the University of Ne
braska.
Williams and his wife, Caro-
lyn, have a son, Peter Alan,
two years old.

it is likely to be sold at lower
than average prices.
Corn Prices Low
For example, potato prices
were so low much of the season
that farmers could barely cover
their harvesting costs. Farmers
with cantaloupes, watermelons
and cucumbers found the mar
ket loaded with these crops. To-
mato supplies were reduced be-
cause of the heavy rains at the
peak of harvest. Low prices
are expected for corn at harvest
as the bumper crop will quickly
| fill all available storage.
Sharing in the benefits of this
large harvest will be consumers
of farm products as lower prices
are passed along to them, the
agricultural economist said.
Sometimes these savings are
hard to find at the retail level
because a few cents bushel or
crate at the farm level may
make a big difference in the
farmers income, but when these
savings are broken down in
terms of small consumer units
the savings are so small that
they almost become lost.
Sometimes marketing costs
such as higher wages, transpor-
tation, or packaging costs more
than offset lower farm prices,
McAllister said, so the food
shoppers pay as much as before
but not as much as they would
have paid if production had been
normal or below average.
Surplus Meat Sought
A big harvest of feed grains
is likely to encourage farmers
/ to grow more animals for milk
and meat. This will be well
coined by consumers who have
found red meat prices high for
the last couple of years. But
! it takes time for this reaction to
occur. First, farmers must build
up breeding herds and then wait
for the resulting offspring to
mature before meat supplies can
be greatly enlarged.
1t will be two or three years
before this years large harvest
of grain shows up in the form
of larger meat supplies. But
farmers started a couple OF
years ago building up breeding
herds so some increase in pork
and beef should be noticed by
late 1860 with bigger supplies
coming a year or two later, Nc
! Allister said.
