ON THE FARM FRONT

By LARRY D. HATFIELD WASHINGTON UPI — Although he is feeding an increasing number of people every year at bargain prices, the American farmer isn’t getting much more of the food dollar than he got during the depres-

. sion. A new government report shows that the farmer receives 40 cents of each dollar spent on food. His share in 1935 was 39 cents. At the same time, food remains one of the best bargains

the American consumer can buy. The report shows that ! while many people of the world spend up to half their disposable income for food, Americans spend less than a fifth— 18.1 per cent in 1966. Incomes have gone up more

than the prices of food, the report says, adding that if consumers bought in 1965 the same kind and quantities of food they ate in 1935-39, they would have spent only 13 per cent of their 1965 income. The report by the Agriculture

Department adds that food costs have risen less since 194749 than most other consumer items in the cost-of-living index. The increase for all items other than food during that period was 42 per cent. The cost of transportation increased 60 per cent; housing 42 per cent; rent 52 per cent, and medical care 86 per cent. But for all food—including that served in restaurants—the in-

crease was 37 per cent. Costs of food preparation, transportation, packaging and processing have increased by j about $6 billion since 1940. As a general rule, the farmer’s; share of the food dollar declines as the amount of food process- | ing increases.
