TUP Yw 1 P'ANS 1VtVKL' KTFORD.'k t., FRIDAY, tECEMER 8, q944 Lower Prices Are pNexFYear If the European war ends fy next spring, the prices farmers will re ceive and consumers will pay for truck crops in 1945 will be "appre ciably" less than they are at the present 'time. This is the opinion expressed by J. A. Winfield, marketing specialist with the N. C. Department of Agri culture. " J "A study of local conditions and the Bureau of Agricultural Econom ics reports indicate that it is reason able to expect a continuation of the flight downward price trend which has been particularly apparent in the producer's market for some time," asserted Winfield. He added that prices will not drop greatly if production of truck crops show un expected reduction from the , 1944 'eveL !CB Reports reaching the State De partment of Agriculture from throughout the Nation are to the ef fect that prices received by farmers for fresh market truck crops in September of this year were approxi mately eight per cent lower than September 1 943, indicating that large quantities of fresh vegetables were produced last summer. Marketing experts with the U. S. Department of Agriculture have in formed VViiu'ietd that prices for Irish poutoea in 1W45 are expected to be "nearer 'the support level than the ceilirig," providing door and ceiling1 prices are similar to those establish ed for 1944. . Winfield joined BAE . in predict ing slight, declines in farmers' prices for eggs, sweet potatoes, apples, or anges, and peaches, and little or no reduction in prices for cotton, tobac co, dairy products, poultry and meats.

"There will be less nitrogen and North inter- speakers phosphate for next year than there was ffur the past season. The de mand may exceed the supply," said Coltrane. 'Nitrogen produced in Government war plants was until recently con-1 verted into nitrogen solutions for use i by in mixed fertilizers and into amoium nitrate, but this nitrogen is now be ing utilized in the manufacture of munitions. Consequently, the supply of 'these materials for fertilizer use will be considerably less than las' year.

The census schedule lists 184 questions but happily no one farm er must answer this number of questions about his own operations. The census committee working on the schedule began with more than two thousand questions and then boiled them down to one hundred and eighty-four. "The coming census will give the most complete picture of American agriculture that has ever been ob tained and it is particularly needed at this time," Dr. Schaub said. "Let me urge every farmer in North Carolina to fully cooperate with the census workers and give the most complete information possible. The facts that are being gathered at this time will not duplicate the informa tion being asked by other agricultu ral agencies." Dr. Weaver Assists With Health Clinics Dr. J. D.
