narian at Texas A & M

following preparation:
Twenty-five parts of
meat and bonemeal (50
per cent protein), 10parts
cottonseed meal (41 per

ground milo, and 5 parts

The demand for pine
timber in our area has
increased sharply in the
last few months. The de-
mand is due to the recent
expansion of wood-using
industries. Record high
prices are reported for
pine sawtimber and pulp-
wood.
With increased compe-
tition for timber, the
woodland owner should
follow good marketing
practices.
The following sugges-
tions should prove help-
ful to tree farmers who
have timber for sale:
mark the timber to be
sold, estimate its volume
from the standpoint of the
products it will yield, sell
the timber for the highest
value product first, offer
it to several buyers on a
bid basis, and sell on the
basis of a written con-
tract.
• Most timber growers
will profit by obtaining
expert help in selling
their timber.

A recent L'SDA report
says costs at the grocery
store for U.S. farm foods
have risen 14 per cent
during the 1960's butdur-
ing the same time, wages
of food buyers rose fast-
er.
The per cer.t of their
income used to buy food
declined from 20.7 per
cent in 1°57 to 17.4 per
cent in 1967.
Farmers in 196S re-
ceived 39 cents out of the
food dollar, an increase
of 1 cent over 1967. The
farmer's share varied
from 1° cents out of the
I dollar for oakery and ce-
real products to 55 cents
for poultry and eggs.

Food today is not like
what Grandma used to
make. She ate less
but she spent more of
Grandpa's money for what
she got.
Eating patterns, food
prices and expenditures
are changing. Why?
They follow a formula.

Vanoy Boozer
Vanoy Boozer became
local manager for the Na-
ples and Omaha office of
the Southwestern Electric
Power Company Tuesday.
James Welch, manager
here since 1961, left to
become local manager at
the Mineola office.
Boozer held a similar
job at Hughes Springs for
the past five years. He
has been employed by the
company since 1954.
Boozer was replaced at
Hughes Springs by Wood-
row Hodge, who went
there from the Mt. Pleas-
ant office. James T. Welch

lated closely. When one
varies, another is liable
to change.
Retail food prices have
tripled between 1919 and
1966. So have prices of
most non-food commodi-
ties such as housing and
services.
F ood price changes are
associated closely with
changes in income, non-
food prices and food con-
sumption. Other factors
which influence the price
of food are military pro-
curement, food assist-
ance programs and in-
come distribution.
Prices of food eaten
away from home have in-
creased 3S per cent since
1953 and that consumed at
home has risen 16 per
cent.
Egg, paultry and cof-
fee prices have declined
since 1950. Fruits and
vegetabls, cereal and
bakery products have in-
creased the most. Meat
and sugar prices have in-
creased about the same
amount as the average
of all other foods.
Each year, Americans
spend less of their in-
comes on food. In 1960,
the average was 21 per
cent. Today the average
is 18 per cent
This varies from 12 per
cent to families with in-
comes of S15,000or more
to at least 50 per cent
for families with in-
comes below SI,000.
The per cent of income
spent on food has gone
down because disposable
income has goneupfaster
than food expenditures
and prices.
Nearly SI billion worth
of food 'was consumed on
farms where it was pro-
duced.
Farm families spent 26
per cent of their income
for food, including the
value of home-produced
foods. This compares
with slightly less than 21
per cent for urban fam-
ilies.
The food dollar of a
non-farm family is split
up like this: 32 cents
for meat, poultry and fish,
16 cents for fruits and
vegetables, 15 cents for
dairy products, 13 cents
for cereal and bakery
products, 6 cents for fats
and sugars, 5 cents for
non-alcoholic beverages,
and 11 cer.ts for other
foods.
Since 1950, demand ap-
parently has increased
for beef, veal, poultry,
processed fruits and veg-
etables, vegetable oil
products, and total sug-
ar and other sweeteners.
Demand apparently has
declined for pork, eggs,
all dairy products, fresh
fruits and vegetables, ce-
real products and coffee.
