SOYBEAN PRICE SITUATION IS TOLD TO FARMERS The price of soybeans has climbed about 10 cents a bushel from the harvest-time low. Some farmers who have held their beans are asking for information that might Help them decide whether to hold tor further price rise. Until a'bout five years ago the price of soybeans typicaliy went up 20 to 25 percent from harvest time to the following May. In more recent years the seasonal price rise has averaged less than 10 percent, lii the earlier years most of the price advance came during the winter and early spring. In more recent period about half the rise has come from October to November and the remainder has been spread over - th<f next five months. The price increases "of the earlier years were largely the results of conditions that no longer exist. Soybean production was increasing very rapidly. Almost each year it appeared that there would be a big surplus left at the end of the season. But processors increased their crushing capacity and found markets for the soybean oil meal. The resulting rapid use of beans brought on rising prices, especially during the spring months. Soybean production has taken only one big jump in the past five years, and that was in 1958. The last two crops have been smaller than the 1958 crop. This is the first time since 1937 that soybean producers have gone two years without setting a new record. The USDA recently listed three reasons for the levelingout of the seasonal pattern of soybean prices. 1. The government acquired a substantial amount of thp 1958 Leans through price-support and has since put some of these back on the market. 2. Storage capacity has been greatly increased, and marketings delayed. 3. The volume of futures trading in soybeans has increased. The supply of beans thN marketing year is iwrhriati-n at 583 millio.i bushels, or- about 1 percent less than last year. Of this amount the government holds less than 2 percent. Domestic use and exports are expected to take most of the present supply before the next crop is available. Exporters are expected to buy around 140 million bushels for cash, so international market conditions will have considerable influence on prices. The recent price of soybean oil was 10 cents a pound, up from 7% cents a year before. A yield of 11 pounds of oil per bushel of beans would give an oil value of $1.10 a bushel compared with 85 cents a year before. Oil prices now are believed to be supported by substantial buying for export under government foreign aid programs. Soybean meal pricessagged •n November, -but recently Recovered $4 a ton to $47.50; bulk Decatur, for 44 percent solvent meal. At this level prices -vero $11 below a year before. A yield of 46% pounds of meal per bushel of beans would give a meal value of $1.10 per bushel of beans compared with $1.36 last year. The combined value of oil and meal recently was equal to $2.20 per bushel of beans, 1 cent less than 12 months before. At the sam^T tiinfte) the price of soybeans at Chicago way $2.21, or 5 cents higher than the year before. Prices for the 1959 crop of beans did not rise materially after November. Oil prices did improve, but the rise was offset by a decline in the price of soybean meal. This year price improvement for meal could be offset by a decline in oil prices. L. H. Simerl Department of Agricultural Economics DISEASE THREAT In the next twenty years, disease will cause the neardisappearance of some plant species and the soil will face the possibility of productive exhaustion in Illinois. This qualified prediction comes from the Illinois State Museum, w h e r e r e s e a r c h s c i e n t i s t s a r e projecting some interesting possibilities for the next two decades, based on current trend? and past events. It is already evident that oak and American elm trees will be uncommon in most parts of the state not long after 1980. Glen S. Winterringer, curator of hot any at the Illinois State Museum, has already given, serious consideration to the problem of what the future holds for trees, food crops and orn a m e n t a l p l a n t s t h a t grow here. What of the outlook for Illinois agriculture? Will cultivated crops have the same ratio of importance by 1980 as they do now, or will some corps begin to fail, GREEN STREET BARBER SHOP IRVEN SCHUVflTT, Prop. 134 S.

McCullom Lake PHONE EV. 5-5252 '(1 INCOME TAX TIKE TO BEGM SOON Internal Revenue Service Opens Filing Period The 1961 federal income tax filing period will soon begin, Harold R. All, director of the Chicago District of Internal Revenue Service reminded taxpayers today. Every citizen or resident of the United States, including minor children, who had a gross income of $600 or more in 1960, must file a federal income tax •return. If the taxpayer is 65 or over on Jan. 1, 1961, he or she is not required ro file unless his or her gross income in 1960 was at least $1,200. "I urge all taxpayers to file their returns as soon as possible after Jan. 1," said Mr. All. "By doin£ so, they help themselves and they help us. If they have a tax refund coming, they will receive it sooner. Early filing also helps to even out our workload." The filing deadline this year is Monday, April 17, 1961, because April 15 falls on a Saturday. Taxpayers of the twenty-six counties of northern Illinois should file their returns with the District Director of Internal Revenue, 22 West Madison Street, Chicago 2, 111. The Internal Revenue Service will offer telephone assistance, individual assistance at local offices, and income tax information through newspapers, radio and television. Expanded telephone service will begin on Jan. 3, and will be maintained through April 17, 1961. As in past years, a staff of experts will be assigned to answer federal tax questions relating to the individual return. Telephone assistance in Chicago may be ob- I ED'S RB4TAL RENTS ElecSric Hammers to Wheel Chain EVergreen 5-4123 tained by calling DEarborn 2- 4500 and asking for "Tax Information". Mr. All stated, "This is the easy, convenient way for taxpayers to get prompt answers to their tax questions." Beginning Jan. 30, twentyseven offices of the Chicago district will offer aid by the self-help group plan which provides for assistance to taxpayers assembled in groups of six to eight with an internal revenue agent to guide them in the preparation of their returns. In Chicago, individual help will be available from 8:30 to 5 p.m. each Monday through Friday at Room 3, U.S. Courthouse, Adams and Dearborn streets.

NEW RETIREMENT TEST JAN. 1 FOR SOCIAL SECURITY Included in the 1960 Social Security amendments is a new retirement test which will mean more benefit checks to those who earn over $1,200 a year. The new retirement test is effective Jan. 1, 1961. The requirement that a worker must earn no more than $1,200 in order to receive all twelve of his monthly checks is unchanged. However, beginning Jan. 1, 1961, if he earns more than $1,200 he will have his benefits reduced one dollar for every two dollars he earns between $1,200 and $1,- 500: and $1 for every $1 he earns over $1,500. Excess earnings will be charged against total family benefits payable. The rule that benefits can be paid for any month that a beneficiaiy earns no more than in wages and does not pelform substantial services fci self-employment is still in effect ; also the rule permitting unlimited earnings after tfje worker becomes age 72. Social Security checks received the first part of December will contain an insert explaining the new retirement test. Workers who are over age 65, who have not already filed for their benefit checks, should inquire at their Social Security district office to see if it would be to their advantage to apply for benefits now. Director All urged all taxpayers to complete the farm that best meets their requirements and file it as quickly as possible. .
