Meantime, much of the economic news pointed toward higher not tower prices. The Agriculture Department said the early frost would yield a corn crop 16 per cent below last year's pointing to stilt higher meat prices in 1975 and 1976. The soybean crop was disappointing too. The Labor Department said mate yor total U.S. crop production was 7 per cent below last year's record, despite dramatic increases in wheat and rice, which the Agriculture Department said will be more than enough to satisfy foreign and domestic demands.

Paarlberg said 1974 was "a year whenwe needed a good cropr because our reserves are depleted, the farmers went all-out to produce a record crop. They overcame every problem except the weather. He added: "On balance, one must say this is a disappointing -report.

Don Paarlberg, the Agriculture Department's chief economist, Thursday said that 1974 will go down as "a year when the weatherman pulled all the wrong levers," from spring rains to a summer drought to premature killing frosts.
