Farm prices have droppped consistently at a time when other prices are rising. Major commodity prices dropped several months in a row. Farmers don't approve of this. They surely didn't plan it this way -- but it has been happening -- and it has helped hold down consumer costs. Meanwhile the average hourly pay in non ? farm businesses have been increasing at 8V? to 9 percent yearly. These increases have not been matched by increased non - farm productivity. Gains in non - farm productivity have been something like 2 percent per year, leaving 6'/i to 7 percent of this labor cost - increase to be converted into higher prices for everybody. On the other hand, in the 20 years from 1953 to 1973, the farm output per man - hour increased 330 percent. During that same period of time, the overall increase in output per man ? hour for all manufacturing industries was only 160 percent. This year the value of farm exports will reach the 24 - billion dollar mark with farm and ranch productivity again contributing the most toward easing the deficit in our balance of payments, expected by some to be 30 billion dollars this year. It should be emphasized that these tremendous gains in farm SUPPORT YOUR HOKE COUNTY RESCUE SQUAD Community Service Since 1962 productivity were made by the combined efforts of thousands upon thousands of America's family farmers ? and not be corporate owned and operated "food factories."
