But the severe drought caused excessive crop output reductions sending feed grain, soybean and cotton prices soaring. What was to have been modest expansion in the cattle, swine and poultry markets, turned to liquida tions. By the end of 1983, crop commodity inventories were lower and prices much higher than a year earlier, and livestock and poultry prices were poor relative to feeding costs. Net farm income in 1983 is ex pected to be near $26 billion, up from $22 billion in 1982. However, this income was not distributed evenly, and much of the income represents government program payments. Crop farmers par ticipating in acreage reduction pro grams and achieving good yields on planted acreage made financial gains. Livestock farmers and many others have had a disastrous year.

Is Cancer Insurance For You? These days a long term illness can wipe out almost anyone's finances. So you might be wonder ing - would it be a good idea to buy cancer insurance? Well, that depends. For exam ple, you may do better to spend your money on major medical insurance coverage -- the kind that will help pay the bills during any stay in the hospital. And here are some other things you may do well to think about before you buy cancer insurance. Ask yourself, does this policy pay the doctor's bills only if I'm hospitalized? Keep in mind that these days cancer patients are treated outside the hospital. And even if you're hospitalized for a time, you'll probably need additio nal treatment once you're released. That care may not be covered by a special cancer insurance policy. However, if you own a good major medical insurance policy, at least a portion of your out-of-hospital treatment will be paid. Also read the policy to find out how long the cancer coverage is valid. Some policies cut off all benefits three years after cancer is diagnosed. This could mean you wouldn't be covered if the cancer should re-occur. There are other policies that won't pay for treatment for some set period of time -- for example, if cancer is found within 120 days after you buy the policy. Last, but not least, think about this. If you already have a compre hensive health insurance policy, you may not need the limited coverage a cancer policy offers. Low Salt Recipes High In Taste More and more people are tak ing the salt shaker off the table and are looking for low-sodium recipes. Salt, or more accurately, the sodium salt, seems to contribute to high blood pressure in some peo ple. Scientist believe that some people can cut their chances of getting high blood pressure by cutting down on the sodium they consume. Forty percent of all Americans are trying to cut back their salt intake, according to a recent national survey. It is not necessary to give up taste when giving up salt. Below are three recipes high in flavor, yet low in sodium.

Form 1-inch (Continued on pace 7) 1 4 1984 Outlook During the first half of 1984, red meat -will be plentiful as livestock enterprises are partially liquidated due to high feed costs. High crop prices will encourage increased crop production. By year's end, both crop and livestock prices will have moderated, and livestock ex pansion can resume. Planned extension should be modest. There is expected to be no general growth in international markets for U.S. commodities in 1984. Projections for 1984 agricultural export volume are 140 million metric tons with a value of $34 billion, slightly lower than for 1983. Despite the new long-term grain agreement with the Soviet Union, nearly all economic factors that in fluence agricultural exports con tinue to be discouraging. World commodity supplies will be ample, debt loads in developing counties will continue to limit their imports, and the U.S. dollar will remain strong. Outlook for Crops Prices for most field crops are expected to remain high through the marketing year as a result of last summer's drought, with prices peaking in winter. High prices and relatively unat tractive government production control programs will encourage increased production in 1984. Consequently, spring and sum mer crop prices likely will fall at rates dependent upon plantings and growing conditions. With current conditions in the general economy dampening demands for agricultural products, there is a danger that high crop prices could stimulate another round of overproduction.
