Accent On Agriculture Big labor contract increases without corresponding increases in productivity are inflationary and a major contributing factor in rising retail food costs. Farmers get only 40 cents of the consumers' food dollar. The other 60 cents is added on after the food leaves the farm, and most of that increase is in the cost of labor. Unfortunately, consumers for the most part fail to recognize the inflationary impact of labor con tracts and that actions consumers and Congress continually propose to control food prices, are those things that will hurt farmers. As an example, the Teamsters recently negotiated a new contract that will give them a 30 percent increase in wages and benefits. It is not the trucking industry that will pay for this. Rather, the consumers of items hauled in trucks are going to pay for that increase. To be fair, consumers should look at the overall picture and they would see that labor is much to blame for raising their food costs. It is unfortunate that in the consumers' constant search for the phantom middleman who is push ing up food prices, they always seem to overlook labor costs. Labor expenses as a share of total operating costs have been escalating rapidly in recent years. For example, labor expenses as a share of total supermarket operat ing costs increased from S3 percent in 1965 to 67 percent in 1975, according to a recent Cornell University study. Labor costs account for most of the market price spread. In 1975, labor costs totaled *52 billion out of the marketing bill of S102 billion, according to USDA. College Slates New Building The Board of Trustees of Sand hills Community College has awarded contracts for the con struction of the new building on the campus which has been under t consideration for many months. The structure, to be called the Kennedy Memorial Building, will provide 51,000 square feet of classroom and laboratory facilities and was designed by Hayes Howell Associates, the architects for all of the buildings on the Sandhills campus. The contracts total $1,399,357 and are funded by a million dollar grant from the Frederick Kennedy Foundation of Boston, established by the late Audrey Kennedy of Southern Pines, and by state appropriations. According to Dr. Raymond A. Stone, president of Sandhills, ground - breaking cere monies will be held some time in July, and construction will be completed in an estimated time of 415 calendar days. Hopefully the building will be ready for oc cupancy by the winter term of 1977. It ts designed with three wings to be used for the health occupations programs, general college courses ' and labs for remedial English and mathmatic classes.
