Lard, Soap Prices Will Remain High Raleigh—March prices of fats, oils and oilseeds are expected to continue high in the next few months but may decline when marketing of the 1947 oilseed Health I By Robert R. 1 District Health The American Bed Cross is al present patting bn its annua] drive for funds. Many people wonder what the status of the egin, the State Agriculture ient says. Prices for soybeans and flax seed this spring will be high compared with grain prices, and acreages of soybeans and flax seed probably will be expanded considerably. An increase in the pig crop also is in prospect for 1947. Output of lard and greats is likely to be larger in 1947-48 than in the current marketing year. Factory and warehouse stocks of fats and oils totaled 1,248,000, 000 pounds on January 1, 1947. This is 462,000,000 pounds less than a year earlier and about 950,000,000 pounds under the 19 37-40 average for January 1. Total suplies of fats and oils will be smaller ip the first half of 1947 than in the first half of 1946. Domestic output and im ports are expected to increase moderately but not enough to make up for the loss in inven tories. Supplies of drying oils and edible vegetable oils 'will be smaller than a year ago. There will be about the same amount of lard and of fats used for soap. On the other hand, butter sup plies will be considerably larg er than in the first half of 1946. (Red Cbm and how it fita into our life. The Red [ Cross is a voluntary agency which was incorporated by Congress in 11900 to provide voluntary aid to the sick and. wounded in time of war and peace.

OUR CITY COUSIN I Gty Cousin is shocked to s >« How strong a one-wire fens* can be... Wheeeel Two Different Things There seem* to be a good deal of. misunderstanding about t./ofae tom •which arb important marketing of livestock—grade a ana price. Simply defined, the purpose of grading is to provide a convenient but necessary means for comparing qualities of the meat animals in a market; or for comDaring the animals in one market with those offered for •ale 4lT«nother market. However, grading is not an eiact science because it depends to quite an extent on the judgment of the person doing the buying or selling. Grades are standards which . \ take into consideration the sex, weignt, quaaty, conformation and finish of animals. Now, let'6 have a look at price. Price is not a factor in determining grade. Just because some animals are in a higher grade does not mean that they always will sell for a higher price than ani mals in a lower grade. For example, it happens at times that a medium grade of cattle sells tor as much or more than a good grade. Such a condi tion may come about when there is a heavy de mand for, but only & light supply of, medium cattle; while on the same day a big supply and a light demand of good grade cattle will not bring so high a price. The same situation may exist in the case of lambs. In communities where racial customs affect eating ijabits, there are times when car- . casses of lightweight, thin, lean lambs sell for as much as the fat, well-finished, choice type. Again the law of supply and demand is in action. Always remember that price and grade are two different things. Try to think of each sep- I arately, and we believe you. will have a much clearer and truer picture of grading and market ing of livestock. > P. C.

Tennant Rhode (aland State Cdleft A farm business should be large enough to pay operating costa, in terest on the investment, and fam ily living expenses. A southern New _ C___a* lnnn» 18 cows per man; a poultry farm, 1,500 layere; a market-garden farm, 10 acres; a potato farm, 40 acra; and an apple farm, 20 acres. Doing more business with the same capital invest ment is one way to lower costs and higher profits. With the larger business, the operator can mend more of his time at productive work. For example workers on a dairy farm with 9 to 10 cowb per man will be just as busy as on a farm with 15 to 18 cows per taan. The grosB sales and net income on the larger operation will he much higher because more of the time fe used in producing milk. Reducing costs per unit puts the farm operator in a stronger competitive position. If more crop land cannot be bought, perhaps it can be rented. Another plan ia to check means by which crop production on preaent acreage can be increased. Ways to do this include: the use of tone and fertilised; winter cover crops; higher yielding varieties; double • w iping; drainage ana terracing. A nether step toward efficiency is to install modem equipment which enables one person to produce more per hour. Overhead costs per unit of product can be lowered whan each machine ia used profitably for as many hours as possible.
