WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1944 FARM NEWS OF RANDOLPH COUNTY Livestock Trends Need Watching; Quality Urged Adjustment of livestock numbers and species to fit the changing- conditions was the theme of both speakers at the Randolph uiu -County Livestock meeting held in so indifferent to the welfare 01 A rtc- TA- OUT ON THE FARM WITH THE FARMER Moberly last week. Cattle came in for "most of the discussion as numbers are highest above normal in tlie U.S., and cattle are the largest class of livestock in the countv. E. M.

(Srnokey) Woods, former county agent and now doing educational "work for the Producers Livestock Commission Association, and County Agent Dan Miller spoke. Jim Thornburg, county chairman of the livestock committee, presided. Woods told of a survey recently made of leading economists regarding their opinion on the price trends following the war. They do not agree, as By The Field Ma-n The one thiag the politicians have not condemned is the weather, and I hope that all may be satisfied with what we are getting, though some may say we could make it better. Have any war-time restrictions pinched your toes, they have mine and I am clad 01 it.

for who is our country as to object to re strictions that have in practically every instance benefitted all? Most of the harvest work is well under way and much of it completed, though corn gathering and lespedeaa are just getting started. Several weeks ago it was jrcnerally considered, and so reported, that there would not be any lespedeza seed crop worth harvesting, but now the wholesale market for this seed is only S5 per hundred compared to only a few days ago. Sorefhum Crop Kansas and Oklahoma have a bounteous crop of the sorghum crops and the well cleaned grain about naif believe prices will de- of crops is 0 a ijng at 51.75 per hundred in the producing area. However, that does not indicate local prices will be that cheap. Last spring when the extreme averaged over 20 bushels and he sold the entire crop.

The C. E. Turner public sale last week, near Thomas Hill, had a large crowd of ready buyers and everything sold well.

He had 1200 bushels from his 48 acres. Norman Norton, south of Jacksonville, had 1360 bushels of beans on a little less than 60 acres. cline and half that" they will advance or remain steady. Reasons lor Decline Reasons for decline are as follows 1. Present high production and income can't be maintained.

2. Demobilization and closing- war plants mean unemployment and conversion will be slow. 3. Record high employment for present high farm prices. 4.

Farmers have to slow down on production on account of surplus. 5. Liquidation of government food stock will be bearish influence. 6. Congress has ordered the War Food Administration to maintain orices as 90 per cent of parity for two years after war ends, but the money is not provided.

A directive may change everything. Reasons for Advance Willie Gaines has been on the Turner farm, north of Huntsville, of 683 acres for the 5 years. He will soon move to a farm north of his present location. wet weather prevented seeding most all farmers were sorely disappointed, but in their disappointment as much as of i i oat acreage was devoted to beans which yielded a crop of 3 to 4 times the value of any reasonable oat yield. I have always advocated planting early if the season would permit, however the small amount of corn that was planted early this season struck dry weather at the critical time and made much less than the later planted crops--all signs fail at times.

Mr. Woods said. He supported this by pointing out that commission houses "can sell Southwest cattle to feeders, but they could not get orders for local cattle because they vary too much in quality. Use of better breeding stock, especially bulls, and providing more and better pasture were listed as remedies.

Jennings sustained lacerations and numerous bruises Monday when his clothing was caught a combine while combining beans at the John Schindler farm, near Sturgeon, -where he is employed. He was taken to the Audrain County Hospital in Mexico, where X-ray examination showed there were no broken bones and his injuries are not of a serious nature. Tae fact that Mr. Jennings was wearing clothing that was much worn and easily torn probably saved him. from more serious injuries.

There is no place better for those who know farming and farm surroundings, but the inexperienced may find such a lil'e different. Farming is' not all pleasure and profit. Farming has its hazards same as any other line of work. A well balanced community enterprise will come nearer working to the advantage of all than a too heavy condition in any line. It" may come'to the time that small farms will meet the demands of the times better than large farms that require outside labor to operate: though the large farms may be more cheaply mechanized than small tracts.

These are questions homemakers wonder about. The best available source of information on food cos according to Extension Service Nutritionists, is the data on retail prices of foods normally purchased by urban wage earners, which are collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. If August 1939 is taken as the pre-war benchmark, in order to avoid problems of seasonally, the increase in total food costs from 1939 to 194-4 has amounted to 47 The following are the percentage increases- in the 'retail prices of certain foods from August, 1939, to August, 1944: Fruits and vegetables up 90Tc Eggs 6 0 Fats and oils up Dairv products up 44 Meats up 35Tr Sugar and sweets up Beverages up SlSi Cereals and bakery up I6fc Fresh fruits and vegetables doubled in price while canned fruits and vegetables increased on! from August 1939 to August 1944.

On individual items, the price increase is striking. This year potatoes were selling at the average price of SO.l cents for 15 pounds while in August, 1939 the price was 34.4 cents, cents a dozen in August. 1944. Oranges were priced at 50.9 but they were only 31.5 cents per dozen of the same grade five years before. On the other hand the prices of cabbage and lettuce have increased only a little more than a fourth.

In August 1939, consumers in selected large cities paid, on the average, only cents a dozen for the same grade eggs that cost 56.5 cents a dozen in August 1944, despite the plentiful to- Window Washing sell window rubbers, brushes ami long poles.
