I REMEMBER., THE OLD-TIMERS. rMii PmI H. Peterson of Chicago: "I remember when mailmen wore london-style, bobby helmets, carried car-ried a whistle attached to a long HXPERT SEES SLIGHT SKJB fOR UTAH FARM PROFITS nmrnjo L.U1M fiu 19S0 CAM I HLPfT chain and a club hi their mail pouch to ward off vicious dogs." From A. O'Daniel of Clinton, S.C.: "I remember when railroad locomotives lo-comotives burned wood exclusively exclusive-ly and cars were coupled with link and pins. . . . Also, when there was no free mail delivery, either RFD or city ... no artificial ice, no bicycles, no autos, no phonography no radios, no typewriters." Mrs. Julia Emick of Scottsbluff, Neb.: "I remember when cow chips were used for fuel by the pioneers of central Nebraska during dur-ing the drouth years when there .was not enough corn to produce the standard fuel corn cobs. I remember re-member the hay burner, too." From John Foxton of Schulter, Okla.: "I remember when my father drove a yoke of oxen and we cut and pulled logs to town to make wagon hubs. We cut locust for carriage hubs. Wheat was cut with a cradle, we made'clapboards and poles from white oak timber by using a chisla-like instrument and a mallet." From Mrs. J. B. Davis of Cordova, Ala,; "I remember when my father fath-er used to help make the coffin when anyone died within several miles of where we lived. They made the coffins wide at the shoulder and narrower at each end. Boiling water was poured on the side planks when they started to bend them to fit the bottom of the coffin. Mother usually went along and carded cotton bats to pad the inside ;of the caffin." The demand for most agricultural agric-ultural products will probably be high during 1950, but the 1949 downward trend in prices and incorgp will likely convnue through next year, according to W. Preston Thomas, head f the Utah iicpartment of agricultural economics- He estimates that both prices and cash income to farmers in 1950 may average about 10 percent bcl this year. In the quarterly of the Utah Agricultural Experiment station he points out that no marked change is expected in foreign demand for U.S. farm products during 195(1. H pointed out that during World ars I and II farm prices in Utah followed the same general pattern. There was greater inflation in farm prices and costs during the post war period of War II resulting from rehabilitation of European countries and continued defense programs. From August 1948 to August 1949 Utah farm prices declined 23 percent. He said that if growing conditions con-ditions are average or favorable next year, agricultural production product-ion will again be large and surpluses sur-pluses in some commodities. The output for livestock and livestock products will be greater great-er as a result of the large feed supplies available. The production produc-tion and marketing of control crops may be lower during 1950V The "Africultural Act of 1949" recently passed by Congress Con-gress for price supports for the basic commodities will not be changed significantly in 1950, Mr. Thomas said. Farm Income Farm income for Utah for 1949 is estimated at about 140 million dollars compared to 157 million dollars in 1948. or a decrease de-crease of 11 percent. The yearly cash farm income has varied from 26 million in 1932 to 157 milion in 1948. Previous to the prewar perod and not including the depression of the 30's, Utah cash farm income averaged be-per be-per year. The increase in income tween 50 and 60 million dollars during the war and postwar periods per-iods has resulted from increase in both prices received and production. pro-duction. The larger factor, however, how-ever, has been price. Land Values Declining Land values in Utah declined about five percent during 1949. Land values in Utah as in other farming areas increased during War I and War II. Although farm prices during the War II period increased considerably more than during the War I period, per-iod, land values did not rise as much during the last war and postwar period as they did from 1914 to 1920. The decrease in land values during the past year reflects the decline in farm prices. Although no rapid change in land values is expected, the trend in price of land during the coming year will probably be downward or follow the trend in farm prices. During the war and postwar periods Utah fanners have paid off one-half of their farm mort gage dobts. Although farm indebtedness in-debtedness has slightfy increased increas-ed during the past year, the ratio of indebtedness to the farmer's far-mer's equity is indeed favorable. Farm Prices fteclininf1 ' For October. 1949, Utah farm price index for all commodities (1933 100) was 226 compared compar-ed to 292 for August 1948, when farm prices were at their peak, a decrease of 23 points. The index in-dex of prices of meat animals is considerably higher than the prices of other farm commodities. commodit-ies. Dairy and poultry prouuets are restively high compared compar-ed to the price of crops. Prices received for canning crops during dur-ing the year were relatively high compared to prices jeceiv-ed jeceiv-ed from fruits and v getablcs. Prices received by Utah farmers during the past year declined in about the same proportion as prices for agricultural products over the nation as a whole, and it is expected that Utah prices will declifle in about The same proportion in 1950. Feed Supplies High The supply of feed grains and other concentrates is more than ample to meet the requirements require-ments for the 1949-50 feeding season. Feed grain supplies are the largest on record, eithe in total orrh relation to numbers of livestock units. The supply is 35 percent above the 19of-41 avefage and 8 percent above last year. A large carry-over of feed grains to the 1950-51 feeding season is expected. Livestock Numbers Will Remain High The increase in numbt of livestock on feed and in meat output during recent months as a result of the large 1948 corn crop will probably be extended through 1950. During th past year the number num-ber of dairy cows in the United States has increased, and it is expected that this trend in cow numbers will continue in 1950. The fticreas in cow numbers and the large feed supply available avail-able for next year will probably result in a continued increased milk production in spite of expected ex-pected lower returns. Fewer Chickens and Turkeys The poultry outlook is for fewer few-er chickens and turkeys than the arge number produced this year. Egg production next year, however, how-ever, should be large resulting from the increased number of chickens produced in 1949 and the number of layers available for 1950 egg production. Fruit Production Largely Determined by Weather The consumer demand for fruits in 1950 is expected to be nearly as strong as in 1949. With average weather conditions, the 1950 deciduous fruit crop will probably be smaller than the all-record all-record crop of 1949. If this reduction re-duction is realized, fruit prices may be higher next year than the generally low 1949 prices-Weather prices-Weather conditions largely deter mine trie production of various kinds of fruits which in turn will influence prices received. Apples and pears from the large 1949 crop wll be more than ample to supply 1 the market during the early part of 1950.

Cost of Retailing Wagef and salaries usually account ac-count for at least half of the total costs of retailing it points to a pelatvely profitable profit-able year compared to the prewar pre-war period. During this period of shifts in demand for and between be-tween various commodities there will probably be a wide variation variat-ion in prices received and in the economic position of various products and enterprises. Prices for certain products may decline to a low level. On the other hand, if full employment is maintained in this country and the relief needs in foreign countries coun-tries are suppied in accordance with our present plans for assistance, assist-ance, a favorable price level for agricultural products may be expected to give efficient farmers farm-ers a fair net return during the year 1950.
