aviation machinist's mate,

B. S. Darnell of Lexington,
had a white Christmas" this
year, regardless of the wea-
ther forecast for the rest of
the world.
For the nearly 800 men of
Air Development Squadron
Six, this Christmas was spent
in Antarctica. The squadron
is part of the Operation Deep
Freeze 63 support forces.
With home more than TO-
600 mllts away, the squadron
members were more deeply
aware of the meaning of
Christmas than many who do
not daily face the elements of
the rigorous Antarctic win
ter. In Christmas, they find a
common tie with home and
family.
For some, dinner was meat

show sizeable increase. Egg
production was up in 1862
and probably will rise a lit
tie in 1863. Milk production
may set a new high, though
percentage increase will be
small.
Stocks down, in total.
Feed grain carryover at end
of current season may fall as
much as the IA million ton
drop of past season. Feed use
will rise as livestock produc-
ton goes up, and livestock
product-feed price ratios con-
tinue favorable.
Wheat stocks may decline
as much as 100 million bu-
shels as domestic use and ex-
ports are expected to exceed
1862 production, which was
reduced by the special wheat
program.
In contrast to trend in
grains, cotton stocks are like
ly to rise further in 1928.
Increase also is expected for
dairy products.
Net decline in carryover
stocks will cut storage and
interest cost to government.
CCC investment in commo-
dities acquired under price
support programs is expected
to be reduced again. But
drop is likely to be smaller
than $3.50 million reduction
of 1961-62.

Skip-Row Planting
Increases Yields
On Better Land

Skip-row planting increas-
es cotton yields materially
on good land. But on land
not suited for cotton, plants
cont grow large enough to
use the space left by the
skipped rows, and yields are
not increased by the practice.
These are results reported
by P. H. Grissom and w. l.
Spurgeon after extensive tests
at the Delta Experiment Sta
ton, Stoneville. They also
made an interesting observa-
ton regarding row direction.
When cotton was planted in
rows running east and west
in the plant-4-fallow-4 sys-
tenn, the south row made
more cotton than the north
row. When the rows ran north
and south, the east row pro-
duced more than the west
row. The research men sum-
married. their findings as
follows:
Cotton planted on Dubbs
and Bosket soils in the plant
4-falloW-4 manner produced
45.1 percent more than solid
planting. Cotton planted in
the plant-2-fallow-2 system
on Dubbs and Bosket soil pro-
duced 67.3 percent more than
solid planting. The yield of
cotton was not affected by
skip-row planting on Sharkey
Clay.

Commodity Highlights:

Farm prices for all beef
cattle sold in 1868 may av-
erage slightly below this
year. Cattle numbers are in
%creasing about 2.5 million
head this year, and slaughter
in 1868 may total 2 or 3 per
cent above 1862.
Hog prices will increase
seasonally into early 1868.
However, they are likely to
be below 1862 during most
of next year because of an
expected 2 to 3 percent gain
in this years fall pig crop,
and a possible gain of about
4 percent in the 1863 spring
pig crop.
Egg production in 1863 is
likely to slightly exceed 1862
volume. Prices to producers
may average somewhat low
er.
Many more broilers are
likely to be raised in 1868
than in 1862, particularly in
the early months of the year.
This would probably result
in lower prices to producers.
A larger turkey crop than
in 1862 appears to be in pros
pect for 1868. However, fro
zen stocks of turkeys at the
beginning of 1868 will be
below a year earlier.
Feed grain supply for 1862
63 is estimated at 212 mil
aion tons, down 6 percen'
from last year. Production
under the 1862 feed grair
program is slightly smallel
than under the 1861 program

AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK
AS PREDICTED BY
AGRICULTURE EXPERTS

Little overall change in
demand, supply and prices
of farm proaucts is in pros
pect for 1868. Farmers are
likely to realize about the
same net income in 1868 as
the $12.8 billion estimated
for 1862. Gross returns are
likely to go up a bit but
gain will be cancelled by an
other increase in costs.
Here are hi%ghlights OF the
1868 outlook as presented
by ERS att he 40th Annual
Outlook Conference in No
vember:
u. S. Market - up about
in line with population grow
tn. Analysis of the general
economy points to modest
gains in business activity IN
1868. This means a further
rise in consumer income,
though less than this year.
Export - to hold at about
record 1961-'62 level in fiscal
1868. Increased exports are
likely for soybeans and food
fats and oils. Some slippage
is in prospect for wheat and
feed grains, mainly because
of improved supply conditions
abroad and slower rate of
economic growth in major
importing nations. Shipments
under export programs will
continue high.
Farm Production = held
about level in the last three
years; likely to be as large
or a little larger in 1865 with
normal weather. Cattle
slaughter in 1868 may rise as
much as three per cent above
1862. Numbers on farms con-
tinue to increase. Favorable
relation between hog and
corn prices is encouraging in
creased hog production. This
falls pig crop Ito be market
ed next spring. is expected
to be two to three per cent
larger than a year earlier;
spring crop may be up
slightly more. Poultry pro-
The Lexington advertiser. [volume] (Lexington, Miss.) 1904-1985, 1963-01-17

about the same as this year
with changes for most COM
modities likely to be small.
Increased sales of livestock
products at lower prices
mean only slight gain in re-
turns. Little change in cash
receipts from crops is fore
seen. Government payments
probably will again be up in
1868. Rising production costs
will absorb the small rise in
gross income, leaving net
fealIzed by farm operators
at about the 1861 and 1862
levels of $l2.8 billion. 1868
net will be divided among
fewer farm people and few
er farms. Per capita income
of farm people, around q
third of which comes from
off-farm sources, is expect
ed to set a record. Neverthe-
less, it will remain about 40
percent below per capita in
come of non-farm people.
