Are Farmers To' Blame?
ii, By B. FIAKE SHAW. ? '!
' Th lvtra housewife today
doesn't know who to blame for the
high cost of beef, but she tMnjcs tne
niiiiv naufcv mieht be-the fanner.
What she and the general public
don't seem to understand is the
fact that the suppont price of meat,
a well as all other farm commod
ities, 1 computed from the coat of
living index and not by one larmer.
Th nricee of meat are at present
levels, not because of a tag in pro
h4Aii h iMoauae of record
high Incomes and free spending of
consumers. A good example oi tws
is the 17 percent wage increase that
mdustrial worker have reoieved
since the outbreak of war In Korea.
Tn view rrf M wase aolraL it is a
smell wonder that the cost of living
Index has gone up accordingly. ;
The Question' foremost In our
mind today ftVUVlll we get more
or lem beef now that OPS ha is
sued t regulation controlling pro
ducer prices?" The answer to this Is
Out we will rat less beef, and a jot
of that will be of an inferior grade! I
"Why," we might sex, -wtm inas
happen?" The answer to this ques
tion la that farmers will have no
incentive to . produce high grade
beef, because the price he has to
pay for food and other products is
cHiribing, while the. price he would
