Common Market Is Raising Price Guarantees WASHINGTON AP-- The European Common Market is raisings price guarantees to its farmers on a number of major products. The results could be harmful to American export prospects, particularly for corn and other feed grains. This country has developed a major market for feed grains in Western Europe's Common Market countries as a result of that area's increasing livestock production and American grain promotion efforts. Reporting the upcoming price increases, the Agriculture Department's foreign service said in a report the purpose was to encourage farmers in the Common Market countries to grow NORTHERN PLAINS $1.26 MOUNTAIN $1.29 CORN BELT SI 28 APPALACHIAN $99 SOUTHEAST DELTA | $.88 $.87 SOUTHERN PLAINS $1.11 ter. M;irgarine is made largely from soybean and cottonseed oils, which cost less than one- } fourth as much to produce as butterfat. Today, we also have substitutes for.cream and milk --even for meats, such as pork and chicken. c,The coming of cheaper substitutes always hurts some people, but the losses are more than offset by the gains for the nation as a whole. SHAPE OF THE FUTURE? Agronomists are studying many aspects of the corn plant to determine how they influence yields.

Copyright © 1967, . , Newspaper Enterprise Aran. Traditionally, farm wages.have differed in various sections of the country as shown in this map based on U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics. A minimum wage for agriculture went into^effect Feb, 1, 1967, for the first time creating a wage floor -- $1 van hour on farms using 500 mart-days or more of hired labor in a peak quarter during the previous year. This February, the minimum will go to $1.15 an hour and in February, 1969, it will be increased to $1.30 an hour. It is expected that about one-third of the farmworkers covered will be migratory,,outside their home counties. more corn and barley for livestock feed. This would reduce the need of imports. To keep U. S. grain as well as that of other nonmember countries from entering under the higher price level, the Common Market will increase import levies. & Substitutes For Farm Products WORK An Egyptian temple at Thebes took 2,000 years to build. a brand nei Traey's ©ffer mom itSfPSR 8RILE @1 ISS (THE INVADER) This will be the hot one.

Such writings and talks often tell of the wonderful new products and benefits that will result from the use of farm products in industrial processes. On the other hand, the development of substitutes for agricultural materials has never been a popular subject. Yet, perhaps we should recognize that much o| our economic progress since pioneer times has come directly from the production and use of substitutes for plant and animal products. Farmers are among the biggest users of substitutes. Their tractors are replacement for horses. The fUel used infractors has replaced the grains, hay, and pasture formerly required by the horses. Automobiles and trucks -- used by farmers and„others-- are also substitutes for, farm products, as iS'the fuel used in these* machines. Fifty years ago, the production of 90million aCres,onefpurth of our cropland, was used for producing feed for horses and mules. Commercial fertilizers are another substitute for farm products. Each year, farmers spend millions of dollars for nitrogen and other fertilizer materials. The nitrogen is obtained from the air by industrial processes. Fifty years ago, farmers obtained most of the nitrogen that they needed by growing clovers and other legumes. In pioneer times, wood was the principal building material --in town as well as on farm. Many modern buildings use little or no wood, being made of steel, aluminum, concrete, brick, and glass. The furnishings in early homes were made largely from plant and animal products. Most of the furniture was made of wood. Other articles were made of cotton, wool, linen, silk, horsehair, and feathers. Now, much of our furniture is made of steel, aluminum, and plastics. The feather bed was replaced by a cotton mattress -- replaced, in turn, by steel springs, sponge rubber, and plastic foam„ The plant and animal fibers have been replaced by rayon, nylon, polyesters, and other synthetic fibers. There are also substitutes for feeds and foods. Farihers use urea, an industrial product, as a substitute for farm - produced protein in the rations of beef and dairy cattle. They also use synthetic vitamins in animal feeds. In some cases, cheaper farm products have been substituted from more-expensive ones. An outstanding example is the use of margarine in the place of but- WITH As your local Oshkosh B Gosh dealer, we know what workingmen want . . . tough, longerwearing workclothes, comfortable fit -- at a sensible price.
