P LiPLlK CO " F --
EACH YEAR--the open-auction at the world's largest commodity market attracts the at
tention of some 30.000 visitors. Robert C. Liebenow, president of the Chicago board of
trade, stands on the visitor's gallery and the active soybean pit forms the background.
Where Buyer Meets Seller
For the person standing on
the visitors' gallery at theChi
cago Board of Trade, watching
the open auction of farm com
modities In the arena below,
the voice of the market seems
unbelievably loud, even rau
cous.
But that person Isn't hear
ing th e real voice?for the
Exchange only reflects the
thousands of quiet transactions
made in countless retail stores,
across the length and breadth
of the land, says Robert C.
Liebenow. President oftheChi
cago Board of Trade.
Some consumers participate
directly as buyers and sellers
of wheat, corn. oats. rye. soy
beans and soybean oil and
meal. Most are indirectly re
presented at this gigantic auc
tion by their daily purchases
of bread, pastries, cereals, sal
ad oils, soaps, meat and poul
try--the thousands of items that
fulfill our varied needs so well.
Many housewives pride them
selves on being sharp buyers?
in fact shrewd purchases of
many kinds are embroidered
Into stories we tell ourfriends.
Among the shrewdest of trad
ers are those whose special
arena of action is the com
modity market.
Most of these buyers and
sellers are not on the tra
ding floors of the exchange
they operate through member
brokers who represent them.
But a pool of speculators
actually trading on the floor
helps provide the liquidity
that will absorb large sell
ing orders. They're also there
to sell when a buyer needs
future supplies, Liebenow
points out.
An exchange such as the Chi
cago Board of Trade simply
provides an arena where buy
ers and sellers can meet, and
gives strict supervision over
the traders and trading. It is
licensed as a contract market
by the U.S. Department of Ag
riculture, with the Commodity
Exchange Authority holding su
pervisory responsibility.
For more than a hundred
years markets such as this
nave been an integral part of
our grain marketing system
made necessary by one simple
fact. The tremendous produc
tion from our grain farms is
harvested at one period of the
year. Farmers are the pro
ducers, and normally seek to
turn their produce into cash
soon after the harvest.
Processors, on the other
hand, need a steady flow of the
raw commodity so they can
serve consumer demana each
day of the year--and provide
year around Jobs for their work
ers. They're in the business of
making a product, and do not
seek to become warehousemen
of grain. So the farmer's pipe
line to the consumer starts
with some 20,000 country grain
elevator operators. These men
buy his grain, assemble and sort
it, and sell to processors or
to larger warehousemen loca
ted in strategic positions along
the pipeline. They hold the re
sponsibility for storing the
grain, keeping it in good con
dition, and selling it as need
ed for processing or for export.
"The futures market helps
them to anticipate future needs
and protect the value of
their inventories", Liebenow
says. "It enables the Industry
to handle high volume effi
ciently, so they can operate
on narrow margins."
In the rigidly supervised fu
ture markets, grain is trad
ed in open auction, with every
man his own auctioneer. It's
a tremendous business the
Chicago Board of Trade ex
ceeded $22 billion in trans
actions during the first six
months of 1963. And it's a bus
iness demanding high integrity,
because not one dollar's worth
of that trade was covered with
a written contract.
Years of experience with fu
tures trading show that far
mers benefit by knowing prices
and getting better prices for
their produce; consumers bene
fit by paying lower prices for
finished goods.

10: 00 a.m. on Thursday, No

meeting is to discuss the
supply and demand situation and
to get recommendations for the
national quota for the 1964-65
year. Representatives of ASCS
will meet with the represen
tatives a' all segments of the
tobacco industry. We feel that
a representative number of to
bacco farmers from Duplin
County should be present and be

All Interested persons are urg
ed to attend.
Older Folks Remain On The
Farm; Young Adults Leave For
The City
More than 43 per cent of
all farm people are under 20
years of age, compared with
39 per cent of the nonfarm
population. But farm population
Is low In Its proportion of young
adults and early middle aged
persons. Persons 20 to 44
years old account for only one
fourth of the total farm popu
lation. m the city it's close to
one-third.
These figures indicate the
exodus of young adults from
farms during the last two de
cades. As a result of this move
ment, today there are many
more older adults on farms
than there are younger adults.
There are more .males per
female on the farms titan in
die- ctty--abor.it 109 to every
100 females, in the city, it's
93 males of 100 females. The
high ratio of men to women
continues to be a distinctive
feature of the farm population.
All in all, more than 14
million people live on farms
in the United States. That's
about 8 percent of the total
population. Nearly 6 million
are In the labor force?more
than 4.25 million men and 1.5
million women.
REMINDERS
1. Cotton loans are available
through local ASCS office.
2. Return tobacco marketing
cards as soon as marketing is
completed. Marketing cards
must be returned by December
4, or allotment next establish

Christmas Seal Sale Begins
The 57th annual Christmas
Seal campaign in Duplin Coun
ty received its traditional send
off Friday, November 15. with
the general mailing of Christ
mas Seals to residents. Pro
ceeds of the campaign will be
used by the Duplin County T.B.
Association to combat tuber
culosis and other respiratory
diseases.
Both Mrs. Marie Batchelor
and Miss Annie Mae Kenion,
Christmas Seal chairman, have
stressed that millions of lives
have been saved since the first
contribution was made for a
Christmas seal. ' 'But the sav
ing of lives is not enough"
they added. "We are also con
tinuing to wage a relentless
fight against the suffering, and
tragedy, loss of time and mon
ey that result from TB and
other diseases that affect
breathing. Manv of these other
respiratory diseases are not
only gravely harmful in them
selves, out increase susceptiDi
lity to TB".
Figures released by the Uni
ted States Public Health ser
vices show that RD (Respira
tory Diseases) rank first among
disablers of people and fourth
among causes of death. Mrs.
Batchelor, a former RD pa
tient said, "We must expand
our effort to find hidden caus
es of RD. including TB. in this
community. One 5 our goals
is to alert every person to
the fan that chronic cough
and shortness of breath, most
common symptoms of RD. may
indicate the presence of a ser
ious ailment and require the ad
vice of a physician, we must
also put more money into medi
cal research to find better ways
of fighting TB and other Res
piratory Diseases."
BUY AND USE YOUR
CHRISTMAS SEALS. Anyone
who did not receive seals and
would like some may write the
Duplin County TB Association,
Box 68, Warsaw. Seals are
1<f each.
Many farmers are discover
ing that minimum tillage?the
least amount of tillage needed
to do the job?often cuts costs
and boosts production of both
forage and row crops, reports
the New Holland Grassland
News.
