In addition, the na- feed crop is 10 per cent than the previous record 1946, the agent said. fanners can expect con- high farm wage rates in Th more of -a chance for an than a decrease. Fertll- •es in 1949 are estimated at least 10 to 15 per cent than last year but will still in relation to other farm Seed supplies will probably ce and farmers are advised r their seed now. lie*} of most spray materials adequate ahhough some j and vegetable growers, Mr. Perry said. » A support price of 60 per cent of parity, or about two-thirds of this year's price, and smaller acre- age allotments are the main items for county potato growers to con- sider in planning for 1949. It is also believed that potato acreage outside the price support program may be larger In 1949 than this past year, since price competition was keener at harvest than in any pre-war year. POTATOES A PROBLEM Growers A ho got good >ields of high quality potatoes will do all right—others may wish to consider some other enterprise. The de- cline in acreage allotments create a management pioblem for grow- ers who did not increase their acre- age during the war years and want to keep a desirable rotation and efficient combination of enter- prises. The dry' bean price situation for the 1949 crop will depend on the size of the crop. Price supports I are not expected to differ much from those of the 1948 crop. The 194S crop was the second largest on record and it is doubtful wheth- er expert demand in 1949 will equal that of 194S. CANNED STOCKS LOW Since large wartime stocks of low qualify canned and frozen ifoods have been liquidated, said Perry, the high quality foods Moravia fire Cannes $ 7 5 , 0 0 0 Damage The Sheffield Milk Plant in Mo- ravia was destroyed yesterday with damages estimated at f 75,X)00.

A decrease in payrolls of 17 representative industries in Cort- land for December, 1948, was in- dicated by the Cortland County Chamber of Commerce monthly report issued recently. Although the report for Decem- ber. 1948, covers a five-week pe- riod as compared with a four-week period for December, 1947, the average weekly payrolls, which in- cludes bonuses, is lower. The 17 industry weekly aver- ages for December, 1948, was ap- proximately $174,921, compared with the previous year's average of approximately $188,921. The weekly average for November, 1948, was placed at about $165,498. Debits to individual accounts also suffered a comparative drop as $12,258,926.21 was recorded for December. 1948; $11,270,802.40 for December, 1947; and $10,634,387.56 for November, 1948. Broken down to a weekly average this would amount to about $2,451,785 for De- cember, 1948; $2,817,701 for De- cember, 1947; and $2,658,597 for November. 1948. Electric output for December, 1948, showed a decrease in the weekly average from both the De- cember, 1947, and November. 1948, periods. The averages show 1,005,- 772 kilowatt hours, 1,137,859 and 1.169,418 kilowatt hours.

Continued high demand tor eggs, little or no increase in egg produc- tion until late 1919, and aixmt the same prices as in 1948 are what local poultrymen can expect next year, said Mr. Perry. But this is not a "go ahead" sig- nal for expansion to take advan- tage of lower feed prices, he ad- vises. Use caution especially if you need a large cash outlay for buildings and equipment.

If more red meat and poultry be- comes available next fall, however, prices may be less favorable.

A support price of 60 per cent

of parity, or about two-thirds of

this year 's price, and smaller acre­

age allotments are the main items

for county potato growers to con­

sider in planning for 1949. It is

also believed that potato acreage

outside the price support program may be larger In 1949 than this past year, since price competition was keener at harvest than in any pre-war year.

POTATOES A PROBLEM

Growers A ho got good >ields of high quality potatoes will do all right—others may wish to consider some other enterprise. The de­cline in acreage allotments create a management pioblem for grow­ers who did not increase their acre­age during the war years and want to keep a desirable rotation and efficient combination of enter­prises.

The dry' bean price situation for the 1949 crop will depend on the size of the crop. Price supports

I are not expected to differ much from those of the 1948 crop. The 194S crop was the second largest on record and it is doubtful wheth­er expert demand in 1949 will equal that of 194S.

Payroll Decrease Shown in Report Of Comfy C. of 0.

A decrease in payrolls of 17 representative industries in Cort­land for December, 1948, was in­dicated by the Cortland County Chamber of Commerce monthly report issued recently.

Although the report for Decem­ber. 1948, covers a five-week pe­riod as compared with a four-week period for December, 1947, the average weekly payrolls, which in­cludes bonuses, is lower.

The 17 industry weekly aver­ages for December, 1948, was ap­proximately $174,921, compared with the previous year's average of approximately $188,921. The weekly average for November, 1948, was placed at about $165,498.

Debits to individual accounts also suffered a comparative drop as $12,258,926.21 was recorded for December. 1948; $11,270,802.40 for December, 1947; and $10,634,387.56 for November, 1948. Broken down to a weekly average this would amount to about $2,451,785 for De­cember, 1948; $2,817,701 for De­cember, 1947; and $2,658,597 for November. 1948.

Electric output for December, 1948, showed a decrease in the weekly average from both the De­cember, 1947, and November. 1948, periods. The averages show 1,005,-772 kilowatt hours, 1,137,859 and 1.169,418 kilowatt hours.

Gas consumption showed a con­siderable decrease f r o m the amount used in December of t h e ' preceding year, but a jump over; the figures of the previous month. I

Decreases in the weekly average for December, 1948, were also in­dicated in the comparison with the other two months for freight car-loadings, both incoming and out­going, and less carload tonnage incoming and outgoing.

Railway express shipments, both iucoming and outgoing, for De­cember. 1948. took a sharp drop from December, 1947, figures. Com­pared with figures for November,

Continued high demand tor eggs, little or no increase in egg produc­tion until late 1919, and aixmt the same prices as in 1948 are what local poultrymen can expect next year, said Mr. Perry.

But this is not a "go ahead" sig­nal for expansion to take advan­tage of lower feed prices, he ad­vises. Use caution especially if you need a large cash outlay for buildings and equipment.

Economists and poultry special­ists believe that the dirfeieuce be­tween prices for poultry predu.-ts and feed will widen during 1949. Demand for broilers is likely to be larger ne.dt y^ar, too. because of continued high consumer incomes and short supplies of red meat. If more red meat and poultry be­comes available next fall, however, prices may be less favorable.
