FARM PRICE
OUTLOOK

you buy dry hay in the barn.
Last winter cleared out many
a hay barn and this years crop
Of alfalfa SO far has been short.
Even clover or clover-tlmothy
mixtures are a little low in the
valley.
Crop Reporting Service esti-
mates for the Virginia crop
show all types Of hay down
from five to nine per cent from
last year.
All this means hay prices
probably will go higher as the
season advances. -.
II you are a dairyman buy
ing hay or silage. try your best
to talk to the man who produc-
ed it. The Department had to
tell one farmer to pour his milk
out on the ground for months
because Of chemical residues
caused primarily by purchas-
ed %roughage.
II you have hay to sell and
can sell it out Of the field to a
dealer. go ahead. The price adj
vance won't offset the cost of
storage. If YOU have hay in the
barn already, hold it for sale
later.
Second and third cutting al
falfa delivered in Richmond was
bringing $45 to $48 a ton last
week, with clover and clover
timothy mixes at $35 to $40.
SOybeans
It's early yet, but right nov
it looks like soybean prices will
be at least as good as last
year. .
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1960-08-19
Hogs \.

Hog prices are due Tor a sea
sonal downturn, but it will not
be nearly as sever as the 50 in
three or four weeks that We
have experienced at the same
time for the past two years.
It will be enough for you to
push to market any hogs that
are close to market weights,
just as soon as they have proper
finish.
Booster under hog prices is
Is to 20 per cent fewer hogs
coming to market during the
fall months, caused when farm
ers dumped breeding stock on
the market during last Fall and
Winter price lows.
BY November : December this
year. hog numbers will have
moved up within about four to
eight per cent Of last year. and
prices will have adjusted sea
sonally downward, but nothing
like last years 81 plus drop from
summer peak to December low
is expected.
This year, it should be closer
to 81 from peak to bottom.
This means there is still time
to buy feeder pigs, if you are
up to feed. With corn cheap, it
looks as if almost any weight
pig will make moneyif he's
bought during the next three
weeks or so, but there will be
less risk with heavier weight
pigs that will 60 to market
sooner.
Hogs in Richmond hast week
were quoted at SITS to $18.25.
Top hogs at Virginia auctions
we're $18.25 Southeast Virginia
markets $l8.25 for U. S. Num-
Der l hogs, Chicago at SIPS to
SITS.
Corn
Clean out any old corn you
may still have. The price is due
to start sliding toward the new
corn price.
For new corn, start talking to
dealers now. They will be wary
of wet corn this year. sc be
sure you know what moisture
content quotations + based on.
Meantime, base your harvest
plans on leaving corn in the
field until it is dried to at least
rs per cent moisture.
Problem is that the early eX-
port market for high moisture
corn won't be there as it was
last year. Too many foreign
buyers got burned. Also, Com
modify Credit is still selling II
per cent moisture corr from old
storage stocks.
So there will be no more dol
lar a bushel for 80 to 80 per
! cent moisture corn in early Sep
TENDER. In fact, the way things
look, there will be no market
at all for corn with this much
moisture.
If you are set up to feed hogs.
they will probably make you
more money than cash corn this
year, but it would be risky to
build a feeding setup that you
would have to amortize through
several years Of hog prices.
Corn in Richmond last week
was quoted at $1.33, for U. S..
No. 2 yellow. Northern Neck
S1.28. Norfolk $1.:30 to $1.35, the
Valley $1.40 to $l.45 and Balti-
more $1.38.
If you know you're going to
need hay this winter, now is a
good time to buy, but be sure

Industrial Survey For N&W Probes
Potential In Surrounding Areas

ROANOKE, Aug. IS Are
you a 40O-ton-per-day pulp mill
operator interested in a specific
location where you can save
$604, 500 yearly over similar eff
ficient plants now producing?
The Norfolk and Western Rail
way now has a.. spot for you and
for each of some so other manu-
facturers of a wide variety of
products. Answers are provided
in an exhaustive report on %
counties in the Piedmont area
of Virginia and North Carolina
delivered to the railroad today.
1t is the first of five reports
being prepared for the N&W by
Fantus Area Research. Inc. of
New York and Chicago. T h e
set will cover N&W's entire six
state area from the Atlantic to
the Ohio Valley.
Today's report, for the con-
fidential use of manufacturers
only covers that portion Of Vir-
GINA and Carolina served by the
N&W between the fall line and
the Blue Ridge mountains, in
Guiding The Heard area. Sub
sequent reports will deal with
tidewater Virginia, including the
Port of Norfolk; the great val
lie area stretching from Mary
land and a tip Of West Virginia,
all the way through Virginia to
Tennessee; the tri-state C 0 !
fields region, and the Ohio
Valley.
The initial study was present
ed to NV President Stuart T.
Saunders and other top INV
officials here today by Fantus
President Leonard C. Yaseen
and Edwin I. Opel, vice presi-
dent and director of research.
Saunders said it marked the first
step in a l%ong-range program de-
signed to aid in economic de-
velopment of as many INV
communities as possible.
And what helps our com
munities. large and small, helps
us" he added.
The 400-page plant location
study vas described by H. p.
Cotton. N&W assistant vice
president industrial develop
ment, as an entirely new type
of industrial survey which ex-
plores specific potentials at each
site to great depth.
This report does not merely
list such regional advantages as
availability of raw materials,
water. labor. power and good
living conditions" Cotton said,
sit goes far beyond these basic
essentials" 1T pinpoints G
best sites with indisputable
facts. l do not believe that any
railroad has ever received an
industrial location report which
comes anywhere close to this
one in pertinent. details. F'antus
is to be congratulated"
An analysis of two sites along
the N&W available for pulp
mills exemplifies the study. "A
summary lists advantages as:
~ an attainable production of
more than 5000 cords per day
of round pulpWood within a so
mile radius. ~ security of raw
material supplies because of
limited competition for pulp
wood: (3) steam and poWe r
costs estimated to be 10 per cent
lower than at competitive
points: (4) outbound freight saw

Tobacco

men are trying to make up for
the hay feeding by planting win
ter pastures, although temporary
summer pastures proved helpful
to many. Pastures have now re-
turned to normal.
More blackshank disease in to-
bacco has resulted from the
dry spell. Holmes explained that
he thought much Of it came from
streams from which areas were
irrigated.
Buckingham county = The to-
bacco yield will be lower than
that OF a year ago because many
farmers were late planting the
crop, said Richard Ellis, III,
county agent. He explained that
many were late because Of the
shortage Of plants brought on by
the severe and late winter.
All types of tobacco in the CEN
ter OF the county are in good
shape, that area having suffered
very little from dry weather.
Harvesting of dark-fired is an
ticipated next week.
New Insect
Around Sprouse's Corner, a
new insect, the Asiatic Oak
weevil, has shown up on tobacco
leaves. Ellis says entomologists
don't believe it will do much
harm, but a definite answer is
still awaited.
Early corr yields were cut, but
an above average yield is still
anticipated. The crop got a good
start and would have produced
a record for the county had the
dry spell not interferred. Pas
lures have shown remarkable
Improvement.
Cumberland county - All types
Of b a c have more than
doubled in size since the coming
Of rain, says z. L. Seay. Cum
berland county agent. The rain
also brought along more than
usual in the way Of diseases.
Some harvesting Of flue was
repored. Seay said that a good
amount of the dark-fired tobacco
was Just about ready for cut
ting. Tobacco is not expected to
be as large as last year, but the
quality is anticipated to be at
about the same level as that of
a year ago.
From nothing in the drought,
pastures are back real good. The
rain was too late for early corn,
but a good yield is expected for
the late paintings.
Charlotte county NV Tom West.
assistant county agent, relates
that the tobacco crop has come
out tremendously. The harvest of
flue was begun as much as three
weeks ago by farmers who irri-
gated their fields, while others
are Just beginning.
West. out Of the county for sew
eral weeks, declined to comment
on the general situation of other
crops, but said he felt certain the
Charlotte county farmers and
dairymen we're feeling much bet
ter noW that they have had some
rain.
P0whatan county - Pastures
have come out wonderfully. says
H. w. Henry, PoWhatan county
agent. Corn prospects improved
considerably although rain was
late for the early crop.
Tobacco farmers are now gen
orally satisfied with their crops.
Flue harvesting has been going
on for three weeks. and cutting
Of dark-fired is expected to begin
soon. The tobacco suffered quite
a bit, but a fair crop should be
harvested, according to Henry.
The county was hit as bad as
any in this section of the state
by the dry period. Dairymen
were forced to feed hay and en-
silage. To offset a shortage of
winter feed, late pastures and al
falfa are being seeded. The soil
is now ideal for those prepare

from nonfarm jobs represent the
biggest part of this off-the-farm
income. but a growing part is
being contributed by the return
or savings. retirement plans, an

Factor Of Government Aid
And Intimately related to the
entire farming operation is a
massive structure Of Government
aid. This has grown greatly in
the past. decade. Federal budget
expenditures for agricultural pro-
grams have risen from $2.8 bill
lions in the 1850 fiscal year to
s6.5 billions in the 1859 fiscal
year, and are now equivalent to
over 81 900 per farm annually.

figures include all farms SO clas-
sified by the Census, such as
part-time and residential units,
which add up to about a third
of all farms and where farming
is more a way of life than a

FAITH IN OURSELVES

It is sometimes difficult to maintain faith, even in our
selves. Yet, in this ~fast-moving world, our faith in our rel-
giouS principles, in the future of our city, in the goodness
within our fellow men, and in ourselves, is our most vital
possession.
AS Jesus once said to the leper who had come to him
begging mercy, and was rewarded by being cured, 1t was his
faith that actually cured him. That same principle even holds
true today.
Even in the business world one must have faith in his
business, his customers - if he expects others to have that
same faith in him and have the confidence in his sincerity. We
must all maintain our faith in our f~ellowmen, for when that
is gone, it is not long before ones outlook changes, and usually
it changes into that of a bitter, frustrated Individual.
Faith in ourselves and our town means nothing more
than supporting our own community. When we support any
thing other than our own business concerns, and are willing
to send our money away, then we are among those that have
little faith for our faith in our local concerns is a true test
of our belief.
For peace of mind, future happeniess and a genuine
understanding of life and what is to be accomplished with it.
faith seems to be the key. Ask yourself how much faith you
have in your fellow citizen, in your community and the life
you are leading. If you have none, or very little, do something
about it.
It is easy to criticize and gossip = It lis a blessing, with re-
ward, to have faith, even in our own fellowmen.
