IT'S AN ILL WIND
By GUY A, CAHD'SVELL
Ajrlculturtl and, Industrial Agent

The price of both meat and live
stock will be higher in 1937, accord
ing to a prediction recently made by
the Bureau of Agricultural Econom
ics. ' . "Because of - this year's drought
meat ew?lies next year will be about
as snall as ia 1S5 following; the
' widespread drought of 1934. For this
reason and ' because of prospective
x improvement in consumer demand the
I general level of both, meat and live
" atoti jilcca in;ic;7 ia" expected tc be
higher than for several years. v v,: '
TbV reduction', in supplies next
year, following the serious drought
: the nation has been passing through,
will be most marked in pork and the
better grades of beef . The decrease
in supplies will be the result of the
feed shortage caused by unfavorable
y weather which now extends over the
principal feed-grain producing . re
gions. Total supplies of feed grains
may be as small this year as . they
were after the f lJS drought s How

What Will Become
f Of Cotton Pickers?
Considerable interest no doubt . has
been aroused in the south following
the retKrt-thatv a few days - -ago a
ponderous new machine, 10 feet high,
lumbered through a cotton field. Al
though still imperfect, it picked in
eight hours as much' cotton as 75 or
80 men could have picked by hand.
At once ther arose the cry; - "Here
is another machine that will rob .men
of jobs." - - i"

New York Times has the following

they would be wage laborers, much
better off." . :
