The margin between what the farmer gets for his products and what- it costs him to produce them was said to be narrowing. ITEMS which will cost more than last year include fertilizers, land rentals, most seeds, real es- tate taxes, tractors and other farm machinery, gasoline, fencing, bagging and other harvesting materials.

Farm wage rates are expected to continue near last year's record despite prospects of some improvement in both the supply and general skill of workers. The department said the prospective increase in the supply of farm machinery will ease the general farm labor situation, particularly for farmers in a position to substitute machinery for labor. Farm machinery output is expected to top last year's LAND RENTAL charges were said to be over three times the prewar level and higher than for any previous year. Farm land values have virtually reached the 1920 peak of the boom that followed World War I. To farmers have bought land at high prices, the department had this to say: "They should recognize that costs are characteristically inflexible and that any decline in farm commodity prices and farm incomes will make it difficult for many farmers to meet payments on their debts."

ENGEL -is chairman of the house subcommittee on army'civil functions.

He steered through the house a bill providing $102,703,700 less than that for. waterways expense in the year starting July 1. Engel told a reporter: "Of course the senate has a perfect right to do whatever it wants. But we had a well-balanced flood control program in the bill that passed the house, and I think this senate measure is asking for too much." The recommendations of the senate subcommittee have yet to be approved by the full appropriations committee and the senate itself. After those.

steps, the bill must go to a senate-house conference for ironing out of differences. Engel said he hopes to hold the final appropriations as closely as possible to what the. house voted. OBITUARY Edward J. Tordt Local relatives have been informed of the death of Edward J.
