JiH'l Kay Kee^e. County Agent
Whipping The Cost-Price
Squrru-
Texas farms arid ranche- pro
dure commodities for consump-
tion. but due to declining prices,
farmers have been caught in a
cost price squeeze.
The purchasing power of farm
prices for all products a year a
go was 103 per cent of parity.
Today, the national average is
!J'J percent. With agricultural
prices trending downward, C. H.
Kates, farm management special
ist, says it is more important
today then before to avoid costly,
haphazard methods of produc-
tion.
It is expected that production
outlays including cost of mach
inery, fuel, feed, fertilizer and
labor will gradually decline with
farm prices, Bates says. But
while this adjustment is com-
ing about, he adds, the state's
agriculturalists are suffering a
hardship and less efficient op
erators feel the pinch more than
others.
What steps can farmers take
to broaden the gap between out
lay and production ?
First, says Bates, study market
reports and livestock informa-
tion to benefit from wise selling
and more profitable marketing.
Use moderate judgment and
look for places to cut expenses.
Don't overlook the use of machin-
ery to save labor costs, buy the
design of machine suited to spe-
cific needs. Wages are now four
times as high as in 1941. In
comparison, he points out, farm
machinery has only doubled in
price.
Use credit to the best advan-
tage, but use it wisely.
Don't operate your farm with
too much labor and machinery.
AH too often lower unit costs
can be gained by handling more
land or keeping the maximum
number of livestock that can be
handled.
Take advantage of price sup-
ports where they are available.
Keep a complete set of records.
Farming is a business and de-
serves the best managerial prac-
tice.
"And don't be afraid to make
changes," Bates concludes. "Don't
be the last to accept new and
improved agricultural practices."

a new floor has been added.
