Bureau of Reclamation officials state that all structures in the'area are built to withstand quakes at much higher intensity than the one felt last week. Had the quake's center been directly under a dam, it would not have created great damage. As part of the research going into the study of the quake. Dr. Kenneth L. Cook, professor of geophysics at the University of Utah, spent several days in the area, and is requesting residents to submit a form explaining their reactions to the quake. The form ia included elsewhere in this week's paper, and resident's are asked to fill it out and return it, whether the quake was felt or Bigger part of food dollar goes to labor to buyers." STANDARD The USDA's top economist, Howard Hjort, announced last week that labor costs amount to nearly 33 cents of every dollar spent on foods, while the farmer's share is only about 31 cents. This is the first time in history. Hjort said, that labor's share was higher than the farmer's. He added that ever since 1973, retail food increases have been due to increased marketing costs and higher prices for imported foods. Hamilton explained that the switch in of the food dollar has an the split-uimportant meaning. If this were just a result of inflation, which is caused by government overspending, dollars paid to farmers snd to labor would increase together. But while the farmer is paying more for his he isn't and equipment, supplies said more," receiving proportionately the Utah farm leader.

Labor now gets a bigger share of the money spent or food including meals eaten outside the home than do the farmers and ranchers who grow the basic products. Iiong-rangproblems in the grocery store were the prediction of a Utah farm leader commenting on this recent revelation by the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). F3mo W.
