come or sales levies, additional

land owners.
While farm wages did not squirt
upward this year, fringe benefits
did These were in the form of
improved housing and health ia
cilities called for by more strin-
gent legislation. Thus the total la
Dor bill was up, particularly where
farmers were dependent on mi
grant workers. Looking to the fu-
ture, farmers fear the increased
minimum wage in industry will
eventually push farm wage costs
still higher.
Farmers are using more credit
Driving toward increased eff
cheney, farmers in 1861 spent more
money for field equipment, barn
building and remodeling, dairy
bulk tanks and milking equipment,
improved herds and flocks, fertil-
izer, and pest and blight control
devices. In short, they took any
reasonable measure that offered
promise of increased production
and lower operating expenses. To
do this, they used other peoples
money = they borrowed. Their in
creasing sophistication in the en-
plOyment of borrowed funds is a
tendency described as most well
come to county agents, who long
have championed judicious use of
credit in financing farming opera
tions.
Farm income = higher gross, low
er net
Over the first seven months of
1861, cash receipts from the sale
of crops, livestock, and livestock
products ran close to the levels
prevailing in each of the two pre-
ceding years. Although changes in
income from these sources show
ed considerable month"; o-month
variations as compared with
year earlier, they were largely off
setting. In periods when crop sales
were down, receipts from the live
stock cOmponents were larger and
vice versa. In the opinion of most
county agents reporting to us, the
gross income of Third Dis tri G t
farmers may be a little higher
than in 1860 but net farm income
may be somewhat less, largely be-
cause of rising production costs.

g. Much of the land held out OF
production was marginal.
3. land kept in corn produc-
tion was more intensely fertilized
and cultivated in some in
stances with advance funds pro-
vided by the Feed Grain Program.
4. Some farmers planted new
corn acreage this year with the
mistaken idea that such land
would qualify under the 1862 Feed
Grain Program.
Other field crops equal 1960's
Field crops other than corn
were equally abundant. Hay yields
and barns are filled; but excessive
moisture in some cuttings posed
curing problems, consequently the
quality is not as. exceptional as
the yield Oats, wheat, rye, and
barley should approach 1960's high
yields, as insect and disease
damage was negligible. Soybean
production will exceed last years,
although the intrusion of the Mex
lean bean beetle reduced original
expectations. More soy e n
acreage was planted than hereto
fore, particularly in De W IT e
where this crop is assuming ever
greater Importance. White pota-
toes of good yield and quality will
net lower than last year because
of reduced paintings.
Another big tobacco crop
Tobacco, the major cash crop of
the Pennsylvania Dutch in Lam
caster County, is yielding higher
than estimated and could top last
years bumper crop. Once again,
the leaves are large and laden
with moisture, therefore, much
care will be needed in curing to
avoid damage in the drying sheds.
AS always, there is some appre-
hension over prices but the farm
ers collectively seem financially
able to resist price pressures.
Vegetable yields high, prices up
Vegetables generally vi d d
we'll and were of good quality. An
exception was the abundant tOma-
to crop which in some areas lack
ed quality because of excessive
moisture. Moreover, tomatoes, ri
pened almost at one time, making
them difficult to pick W i o t
some losses. Yields of early peas
and limas were light but later
paintings more than made up the
difference. Green beans, squash,
sweet corn, peppers, and cabbages
were plentiful; asparagus and cell
cry about equaled 1960's yields.
Vegetables for pro C S d n g
brought fractionally higher con-
tract prices than a year ago.
Fresh market prices, too, general
ly averaged higher, save for to-
matoes in late summer. Irriga-
ton and spray control needs were
modest because of favora b | e
weather conditions, SO production
costs were held down.
Fruit prospects are mixed

! Conversely, feeder cattle prices
are high at present These two fac
tors together have discouraged
head-for-head replacement as buy
ers hold off hoping for a price
drop in feeder stock The third
factor, however = ample feed =
may eventually encourage some
stock replacement Because of the
slim price differential between fat
and not-so-fat animals, finished
cattle will continue to move to
market at lower weights.
A difficult year for poultrymen
Last years improved picture for
Third District pOultrymen, unfor-
tunately, has not carried over in
to 1861 This has been especially
true of those who raise broilers.
On the average, broiler prices this
year are as much as one-third un-
der those of 1860, and in some
instances returns are less than
costs. Only the most efficient Op-
orators will be able to avoid sharp
financial setbacks. This discOur-
placement, which may in turn have
;salutary effect on the market in
the future.
Egg prices have fluctuated rath-
er widely this year and on balance
will probably be less than a year
ago. In the interest of, greater
stability, producers have been
forced to react quickly to prices
by "a downward adjustment in
chick placements. But, since quail
ity of the flocks has improved
(more eggs per laying hem and
feed has been plentiful, egg pro-
duction locally may exceed last
years. A prospective Oversupply
in our area coupled with increas
ing competition from the South
and Midwest gives little promise
of a significant price Improvement.
Production costs still rising
Higher taxes this year caused
more complaints from local farm
ers than ever before. A major fac
tor underlying these increases is
reassessment of property values,
particularly in Pennsylvania. Nu-
merOus townships are said to be
adding occupation and wage taxes
to their schedules, and school tax
es almost everywhere are still go
ing up. New Jersey farmers claim

to One-half, depending on location
Overall, county agents estimate
the crop to be one-third less than
1960's. The harsh winter destroy
ed a number of trees, while late
frosts also nipped many buds and
blossoms of those remaining. Quail
ity of the fruit also suffered in
some cases. Peach prices were
relatively high but not sufficient
ly so to offset crop losses.
Apples are completely differ
ent story. Nationally, the apple
crop is estimated to be Is percent
above last years; locally, the in
crease may be much greater. The
fruit is heavy, has good color, is
meaty and solid. Because of ex-
cellent quality, fresh m r k e
prices for local apples are ex-
pected to be satisfactory But be-
cause of big crops in competing
areas, professors anticipate pay
ing less than last year. Already,
prices paid for earlier maturing
Virginia apples are depressed.
New Jerseys blueberry crop
suffered similarly to the peach
crop as the winter cold cut yields
almost in half Resultant prices
were good although quality was
off. On the other hand, favorable
growing conditions have helped
increase New Jerseys cranberry
crop one-fifth over last years and
the quality of the berry is higher.
Prices are expected to equal or
better the 1860 level, partly be-
cause of a smaller crop expectd
in Massachusetts, our n neare t
competing area.
Dairy trend continuing
There has been no abatement
this year in the tendency toward
fewer dairymen, larger herds, and
increased use of machinery. More
stringent health and storage re-
quirements call for larger capital
outlays which the small operator
can scarcely afford Accordingly,
he either gets out completely or
specializes in raising calves and
heifers. Increased emphasis is be-
ing placed by county agents and
improvement associations on bet
ter quality COWS and more eff
cient milking operations. Thus,
the yield per COW is rising al
though this year, for the first in
many years, the total number of
milk COWS in the Third Federal
Reserve District has declined.
Carryover silage from last year,
COWS, and increased efficiency all
have been depressed, particularly
for milk sold to processing plants.
While milk pricing is complex and
highly regulated, the effect of
lower priced foreign" (out-of-
state) milk seems to have further
depressed local milk prices. On
the plus side is the abundance of
silage for dry feeding this winter
and next spring. a seasonal rise

From the October Business Reviep
ee7he Bnsinessman-Farmer IN
Cost-Price Squeeze

In addition to the usual things
being grown on farms in Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, and Delaware,
we see the continuing growth of
a new breed of farmer = h e
businessmanfarmer. For pro i
margins have so narrowed in re-
cent years, that the mere ability
to grow an abundant crop, raise
high-grade cattle, or produce a
quantity of eggs is no longer a
criterion of certain success. Given
this basic ability, today's farmer
must also be an expert and sensi-
tive marketer; an astute tax ac-
cOuntant; a knOwledgeable user of
credit; labor relations diplomat; /;
an adept operator of complex
machinery; an able salesman; and
something Of an expansionist for
greater operating efficiency.
While county agricultural a.
gents in the Third Federal Re-
serve District report b u n d a n
crops this year, they also cite soft
prices in several areas of the farm
economy. They. continue to stress
the need for more efficiency on
the farm, relay the farmers grow
ing concern over rising expenses,
particularly taxes, and mention
competition from other areas
where labor costs sometimes are
lower. They also note a continu-
ing trend toward larger farms but
fewer farmers as more small, mar
ginal operators liquidate their
business.
An excellent growing season
Following an unusually severe
winter, which. cut drastically into
peach and blueberry yields and
killed off some Ornamentals, this
years growing season was the e.
quail of any in the past decade.
Extensive snow cover and wet soil
delayed planting for several weeks
but conversely helped produce
some record crops. During most of
the growing and harvest seasons,
temperatures moved through mod
crate ranges; moisture was ample,
overall, excessive only in isolated
locales; dry spells were infre-
quent and of short duration. Even
September's Hurricane E 8 t h r
fortunately veered out to sea and
did not damage late crops.
Corn a paradox
County agricultural agents ex-
press surprise at the number of
farmers who participated in the
1861 Feed Grain Program. In our
area where most corn is used for
silage and grain, farmers with
drew from production approx
mately one-sixth of their 1860
acreage and thereby qualified for
subsidy payments. Despite this
significant reduction, 1961's esti-
mated corn yield in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, and Delaware will
come close to 1960's unusually
large crop. The reasons for this
seeming paradox appear to be:
1. Nearly ideal growing weather
helped compensate for the reduc-
ton in acreage.

WIN, LOSE OR DRAW
Already the Expansion Writing Is on the Wall
By FRANCIS STANN

HORACE STONEHAM in what he de-
Scribes as gesture of good will, is quoted
as saying that he will get his old Polo
Grounds all prettied up for the debut of
New York'S new National League entry next
spring. This will involve mainly chasing
the pigeons at the old stand on Coogan's
Bluff. Eventually the Nets, If that's to be
their name, will move to a new park in
Flushing.
But Stoneham, who left the Polo
Grounds and took his Giants to San Fran
cisco, could do his friend Mrs. Shipman
PaySon, bigger favor. Horace could use
his influence to see that her new ball club
got a better break in the distribution OF
players than the American League gave
its new franchises.
Even at this early stage in the 10-team
AL it must be obvious to all that it's going
to BE- a long summer III Washington and
Los Angeles They are down there, run
ming ninth and tenth, exactly as most
people predicted. The Senators can't score
much and the Angels haven't much pitch
ing.
Two good baseball mindS-Ed DohertyS
and Fred HaneyS-went to work at stock
ing the new clubs with what was available.
The trouble was that neither had real
shot at lining up balanced team. Know
ing this, privately at least, they tried to
suit their personnel to their parks.
HANEY CONCENTRATED on big, slow
footed, long-ball hitters because Wrigley
Field is a bandbox. If the Angels must
lose on the road, Haney was going to see
that they made things tough in the 81
home games Doherty's thinking was to fit
his men in big park. He took out the
temporary bleacher seats, originally in
stalled to suit Roy Sievers, Jim Lemon
Harmon Killebrew, Bob Allison and Earl
Battey. If his guys can't reach the seats
Doherty reasoned, nobody else is going to
do it, either.
But there's still too much unbalance
and it behooves the National League, when
New York and Houston are stocked, to be
more generous. team that can only hit
isn't going to win, any more than club
that can only try to hold down the scores.
The National LeaguerS, proceeding at
a more leisurely expansion pace than the
Americans, have year in which to study
the wisdom of the AL plan.
Evening star., 1961-05-01

YET SPEAKING OF generosity and act
ing it out are two different things When
the National Leaguers reach the point of
supplying the new teams, who's going to
be the first to offer a topgrade player?
There must be cause for alarm on the
part of the clubowners after perusing the
Associated Press attendance figures to
date. The majors are down 81 per cent and
the gimmick is that it isn't the American
but the National that is off the most The
NILS drop from 1861 is whopping SO per
cent, as against Is for the AL
This has been, of course, a very cold
spring. But it has been the same weather,
more or less, for the Nationals as we'll as
the Americans.
Even if the National League clubownerS
are sincere about helping Houston and New
York to a greater degree than the AIS
helped Washington and Los Angeles, what
are they going to do it with?
IN ST. LOUIS the other night they
perpetrated 1919 game between the Cardi-
nails and Phillies that lasted AZ hours and
involved "a base hits and seven unearned
runs. The winning Cards used "a players,
the Phillies 81.
Does that sound like ball players are
scarce? From numerical standpoint, 1t
doesn't. But the good ball clubs never had
to platoon like crazy. The '27 Yankees and
the old Philadelphia Athletics Of the late
192Os and early 1930s rarely used more than
10 guys, and if Waite Hoyt or Lefty Grove
was pitching the chances are they'd use
no more than nine.
The blunt truth is that so many of
today'S major leaguers simply aren't, The
clubs are a collection of fringe athletes,
although it must be conceded they are
fringe people. Casey Stengel, during his
fabulous years with the Yankees, probably
platooned more than any manager in his
tory. 1t seemed almost a fetish.
Casey was criticized. Here you are u
Stengel's friends told him, with the best
nucleus in the game. And yet you move
guys in and out like nine-inning guy was

U|ine Owner
Seeking New
Hockey Club

Harry Lynn, owner Of Uline
Arena, today met with the
Board of Governors of the
Eastern Hockey League in New
York to discuss the possibility
of a franchise for Washington
this fall.
Lynn, before leaving for New
York, pointed out that he had
filed an application for a team
last year but wasn't able to
obtain one.
The league asked me If I
would come to New York and
talk to them again." Lynn said.
"and I agreed"
The last hockey team in
Washington folded after the
1959-60 season. Previously,
many owners had failed to
make a go of the sport here.
The Associated Press reported
from New York that represent
atives Of Knoxville. Tenn, and
Jacksonville. Fla. also had filed
applications of franchises and
would be on hand to discuss
them.
The league yesterday over
hauled its bylaws and con-
stitution to permit any player
of a league club a release if
he is chosen for the United
States Olympic or World Cham
pionShip hockey teams. The
Eastern club would then be
able to obtain a replacement
during that period.
