Abshier, State College consumer market inn ?pec ialist 4 Abehler *ay*. "We can't start to market with trash and expect it to be graded up to an edible pro duct.

FARM FKICE8 VP A farm price boost ? up two per cent in the month ended June IS ? ha* brightened prospect* for I agriculture in the wake of a con- i tinued increase in the cost of liv ing. The inctwaae was largely ac counted for in higher prices for fruit, potatoes and commercial vegetables. During the same pe roid, prices for livestock and live stock products declined less than one-half of one per cent. Secretary of Statf Dulles- recent ly declared at IAwa SUte College that the "Soviet rulers are engaged in a gigantic effort to build up their military establishment and to extend the area of their domin ance." Wise Buyiflg Involves Skill "How doe* the coniumf r draid* on what is ? good tar?" asks Owrfe Atthiar, extension con sumer marketing specialist at State College. He says that wis#; food buying retire* a high degree of ?kill and a broad knowledge of many product*. ' 3 In it* simplest economic term*, according to Abohler, a good buy I* determined by the amount of saUa (action recened per unit of cost, compared to otbar chokes. Cost and satisfaction mud be weighed carefully, (long with oth er factor*, such 'as convenience, facilities, and family taste*. Cost involve* more than money. Proper judgement Of the real cost, says Abshier, Involves calculation of cost per p?und, and the ulti mate cost per serving of the final edible product. The cost per serving may vary greatly according to the form of the product, whether fresh, froten. or canned, and the manner of packaging. ? According to AMhier, conveni ence of preparation, *erving, and storing should be considered. Pre pared foods provide greater con venience at greater cost. The extra cost of thi* "bunt-In maid lervlce" may offiet the time and energy saved, especially for homemakers working outside the home. The satisfaction a food provide* the consumer is the major test in determining a good buy. The ta*te, attractiveness, and general quality affect the satMaction. Wise buying la a big job, says Abshier, and determining the good buys 1* a matter of weighing all the factor*. The results will vary, but the final test i* whether the maximum amount of family satis faction I* obtained from the ex penditure for food. X-Rav Is Topic 1.
