Washington } Farm Ne: GOOD DEMAND FOB FARM PROD- i UCTS?PRICES UP; PURCHAS- 1 ING POWER DOWN < The demand for farm products? meaaured by volume and by price? i continue* food, despite the recent < downturn in industrial production, ac- i cording1 to the February surrey of ? the Bureau of Agricultural Econo- < mica. ? < ^ -V/i i ? t i Large quantities of farm products j are moving into domestic consumption i at prices averaging higher than at < this time last year. Cash farm in- i come in the early months of 1940 is expected to eTceed income in the same months of 1989, but the par- ( power of farm products will , continue below pre-war. The ratio of prices received to prices paid by farmers is about 20 per cent below the pre-war average of 100. Products not sharing in the higher prices this winter compared with la-t include tobacco, hogs, poultry and eggs. The supply of tobacco is the largest on record, and the European export market has been shut off; the 1939 pig crop was the largest in six teen years; production of poultry and eggs has been unusually heavy this winter. .. Unfavorable to livestock producer* generally, is the relatively ' high price of feed. Prices of feed grains and of high protein feed*>are higher this winter than last Str gthening factors have been the (mailer supply per animal on farms this season than last, the comparatively-high-level of wheat prices, and the active sealing of 1939 corn. Oilseeds?cottonseed, soybeans, and flaxseed?have been selling higher this winter than last, ' even though the total domestic supply of fats and oils is the largest on rec ord, and supplies of feed grains and other feedstuff* are relatively large. Domestic cotton mill consumption has declined recently, but is st un usually high levels compered with other recent years. -Mill consump tion in a number of European coun tries continues at unusually high levels, largely on the strength of gov ernment orders. Domestic mill con sumption of wool also continues at a high level, with domestic stocks of wool running low, and imports of wool increasing. Wheat prices have declined on re ports of general snows in the winter ! ml nest situation. But wheat prices ontinue high relative to prices in ?ther countries; since the domestic rop in 19S9 was only moderately ibove iVnneeiii axge quantities of wheat have been ' rith held from the market, and the 1 L940 crop probably will be smaller 1 han domestic disappearance. ?. J "The pig crop probably will be , smaller this spring than last, affect- ' Mi by an unfavorable hog-feed price ' ratio. Heavy marketings are aspect- ' ad during the next few months, but domestic consumer demand is better \ than at this time last year. For the ' entire year, a better export demand 1 for hog products is in prospect. Cat tle feeding is also less profitable this ; winter than last, since cattle prices ? are lower, and feed prices are higher. ' Larger marketings of grain-fed cattle are expected in the first half < of 1940 compared with 1939, bat in . the increase in nearby months prob ably will be more in short-fed than in long-fed cattle. Smaller market ings of cows and heifers are in pros pect, but the decrease may not be enough to offset the increase in mark- ' etings of fed cattle. The total daugh ter supply of sheep and lambs will be larger this spring than last Fresh fruits have been selling-at fairly good prices this winter con sidering the curtailment of exports and large supplies available for do mestic consumption. Principal fac tor in the price situation is the im proved baying power of the con sumers. Supplies of citrus fruits have been slightly smaller this win ter than last, but larger quantities of applies are available for domestic consumption. More cows are on farms this win ter than last, the cows are being fed liberally, and milk production is ex pected to continue in large volume. I Feed costs more than at this time last i year, but this has been offset in part by higher prices of dairy prod ucts. The new year began with egg production the largest on reoord for that time of year. Prices were de pressed to lowest figures in thirty years. Cold weather then curtail ed production and marketings, and market prices recently have been higher that at the same time last year.
