Eyes Rsaiahied sad Glasses Fitted Livestock Outlook For 1941 Is Bright A bright outlook for. livestock in 1941.18 indicated by the increased de fense activitity, says Prof. E. H. Hos tetler, State College animal husband man. "People eat more' meat when they are working'and earning regu larly," he pointed opt, "and the far mer who combines livestock produc tion with cotton or tobacco growing will benefit the most" - Prof. Hostetler says that the re employment will help the livestock cotton farmer in two ways, namely: 1 1 ' " " I ???????? ' - - Workers can utilize more cotton, and .they can consume more of the live stock products that are. products through the feeding of cottonseed by products. In this connection* the State Col lege leader cited a recent estimate that one hour's wage received by the average American will buy 2.1 pounds of beef, whereas the aame amount of labor will earn an Englishman only 1.4 pound of beef, a German 0.9 of a "pound, and Russian 0.8 of a pound when meat ia available at any price. "The basic 1941 farm outlook in dicates that reduction in unemploy ment, coupled with increased eam: i ~~ ings of those who have not been claaa-1 i ed as unemployed, should raise the v demand by consumers for such farm products as meat, dairy and poultry v products,-vegetables and some fruits Our, North Carolina cotton and to bacco farmers might as well face these facts and diversify their opera-' tions," Hostetier declared. In conclusion, the animal husband-! man suggested that farmers get in touch with their county farm agents - and discuss with these representa tives of the-State College Extension Service the best types of livestock to raise for the particular community in which they live.
