This year the number of Tfrjpnti going out nation-wide wS approximate three million, vifh ever 100 going to Transylva «da canty businessmen. IV growth and the industrial dewlapinent of Transylvania is re flected in statistics just released hy the credit reporting firm. Thom as 1L Kane, manager at Knoxville, which covers this area, says that this year there will be more re quests for financial statements j wade ef business concerns in this county than usual. The Transylvania section of the current issue of Dun St Bradstreet Teferenee book contains listings of 14# local names comprising manu facturers, wholesalers and retail on. It does not include some of Utae service and “professional” bus heu such as barber and beauty Amps, real estate and stock brok en.Tfaos the figure for businesses lu Transylvania county would ac tually be higher than the 148 ‘fluo ted above. ^During 1957, Dun and Bradstreet 'estimates they will be required to woke about 78 changes in the list ings of business enterprises in ’Transylvania County. These chang es will result from adding the names of new businesses, and de leting the names of those who have discontinued; as well as accounting for changes in owner ship, trade names and credit rat ings. Better than 95 percent of all commercial transactions in the United States are made on credit terms and the buyer and the seller are brought together by means of credit information. When the owner of a business or his accountant returns his finan cial statement to Dun & Bradstreet the owner has taken the first step in establishing his responsibility as a seeker of credit. The statement becomes a part of the credit report on his business along with a financial analysis, a description of what the business does and a record of how it pays its bills. On the basis of the information in the report, a rating is assigned and the businessman is listed in the Dun & Bradstreet reference hook. This makes it possible for his suppliers and insurance under writers who use the book to look him up and in this way he is assis ted in getting his goods and insur ance. In other words should a manufac turer or wholesaler receive an or der for merchandise from a mer chant in Transylvania County, the listing and the rating of the mer chant can be checked in the refer ence book. And it makes no differ ence where the seller is located. The listing of the Transylvania businessman appears in every is sue of the reference book in the United States. A reference book listing con tains the names of the business and tne' rating. The rating consists of two symbols. The first, a letter of the alphabet, indicates financial Better Prizes For Several Commodities Predicted. Costs Also Higher BY JAMES E. DAVIS Transylvania’s County Agent Farm income prospects arc brighter for 1957. Better prices are in sight for meat animals, milk and cotton, with new formulas cut ting feed costs and contract deals reducing risks. Farm costs will be up too. But expected higher pri ces, plus greatly expanded govern ment payments, should leave you with slightly higher net income. . . if you farm efficiently. What’s Ahead—Livestock HOGS: Very good year in sight. Spring marketings coming from slight per cent smaller sup ply. Prices should hold strong through 1957. With feed grain pri ced favorably, profits will be good. BEEF CATTLE: Looks like a fair year ahead. Total slaughter of cattle and calves should be simi lar to 1956, but prices probably better due to reduced pork compe tion. End of 7-year beef buildup is in sight. Fewer cows and heifers point to beginning of downturn in beef numbers. Makes long-range outlook look good. DAIRY: Profits close to 1956 levels, likely better if you boost volume per man. Expected higher production to be offset by contin ued rise in the number of milk drinkers. BROILERS: Another big produc tion year, despite poor 1956 returns for most, especially small growers. Early price strength should fade under pressure of higher place ments. More and more broilers be ing produced under risk-reducing contract deals. What's Ahead — Crops TOBACCO: Acreage will likely be lower, but expected yields to rise again. The shift to greater use of lower grade, harsher tobaccos allows greater use of fertilizer. Smaller allotments will also tempt growers to shoot for higher yields. Flue-cured acreage has already been whacked 20 percent from 1956 level; allotment cuts likely on oth er kinds. SOYBEANS: Sell stored beans on any price strength. Price rise into spring unlikely. This year’s crop probably won’t be as profit able as last year’s. Big acreage scheduled, in response to war-in spired price rise last November. WHEAT: Supply being cut by acreage restrictions and higher ex ports. Nearly 12 million acres of winter wheat headed for soil bank. With profitable year behind, more wheat being grown in Southeast where allotments are at minimum and many figure open market will bring enough to make heavy plant ings profitable. strength or capital. It is the dif ference between what the business owes and what it owns. The sec ond symbol, a numeral, reflects a composite stability and payment record. Milk fever, a serious disturbance of calcium metabolism in cows at calving time, now can be control led effectivey by feeding large dos es of vitamin D. Vitamin D pre vents milk fever by offsetting the sudden drain on blood calcium in to the colostrum.
