The Flathead COURIER Thursday, Dec. 1, 1960 Agricultural Outlook for 1961 Given by Economist Our farmers produced more food for each person in the United States this year than ever before. And it was done with 30 per cent fewer farm workers and 5 per cent fewer acres than used 12 years ago. These were observations coming from the Agricultural Outlook Conference held in Washington D.C. last week, re- ports John Brower, Extension economist at Montana State College. Slightly more food is ex- pected from the nation's farms in 1961 than in recent years, Bower continues. Montana farmers and ranchers can ex- pect larger national market- ings of beef, pork and milk in 1961, meaning lower prices for these products. The conference pointed out that on July 1 the nation's wheat supplies were 11 per cent above last year's July 1 figure. The large wheat crop of 1960 will boost carry-over supplies yet higher on July 1, 1961. This will be true even if expected exports of 550 million bushels are realized — equal to the all-time export high of 1956-57. Feed grain supplies are also at an all-time high with a carry-over at the beginning of the year equal to the U.S. needs for about seven months. Most of this is in the form of corn and sorghums but oats and barley help swell the stocks on hand. Prices on wheat and feed grains in Montana are expect- ed to hold near support levels of 1961, Bower says. This will be true because 80 to 90 per cent of the carry-over supplies of wheat and feed grains are controlled by the Commodity Credit Corporation. National dairy production is increasing faster than the U.S. population. Prices of dairy products after April 1 will de- pend on support levels to be County Boy Wins 4-H Trip Dennis Hamel has been chosen one of Montana's five delegates to the National Jun- ior Vegetable Growers' Asso- ciation Convention at Colorado Springs, Colo., Dec. 5-8. The announcement was made re- cently by the State 4-H Club office in Bozeman. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hamel of St. Igna- tius, and a member of the Blue Ribbon Rustlers 4-H club. Dennis entered 4-H in 1955 and has had gardening projects every year since that time. He had the best garden exhibit at the 1960 Lake County Junior Fair and has received many ribbons on his produce. The Junior Vegetable Grow- ers' Association Convention gives outstanding 4-H garden- ers an opportunity to compete with other gardeners for Nat- ional awards in vegetable and produce grading and scoring. During 1960 Lake County 4-H club mmebers have won many State and National a- wards. Dennis, like many oth- er Lake county 4 -Hers, has brought National Recognition to Lake County 4-H members. PP&L Pays First Half of Taxes Among the large property tax payments delivered to Lake County Treasurer Don Butler before the Wednesday deadline was a first-half pay- ment of $16,736.88 on Pacific Power & Light Co.s' 1960 as- sessment of $33,469.73 Robert R. Gordon, PP&L's Montana division manager, re- ported the payment represents an increase of $3,807.30, or al- most 13 percent more than the assessment paid by the com- pany for the previous year. Gordon reported Pacific Power's property taxes in six counties in Montana this year totals $377,956, an in- crease of $54,642.54 over a year ago. announced sometime before that date. Farm costs, the economist concludes are not expected to vary much from 1960 levels. Pablo Miss Mary Fleming, a stu- dent at Holy Names College in Spokane, spent her Thanks- giving vacation at home with her parents and family, the James Fleming, Jr.'s. On Friday Mary was honor- ed with a birthday dinner.
