FOOD WORLD’S BEST FOOD BARGAIN When you sat down to eat your Thanksgiving dinner last month, and your Christmas dinner this month, you will be getting the best food bargain available anywhere in the world, according to Scott Horn, chairman, agricultural stabilization and conservation county committee. The American, farmer is largely responsible for this great bargain. His efficiency and knowhow, counled with the latest mass production methods, improved crop varieties, and better livestock, make it possible for him to produce high quality food for an expanding population, and for fewer dollars of our * take-home pay than every before. Twentv-five years ago, the average family grocery bill was about onMourth of its take-home pay — 25 cents of every dollar. Ten years ago it dropped to about 20 cents, and the latest estimates show it has dropped to about 17 cents. Many factors contribute to the cost of our food. Weather is one. A sudden freeze, a long drought, or a pelting hailstrom can damage or even wipe out an entire crop. Smaller supplies can mean high prices. j Transportation and our desire for “out-of-season” foods also add to the cost. So do the modern homemaker’s demands for more pre - washed, pre-peeled, pre-cooked, pre-packaged foods. Out of every dollar consumers spend for food, only 40 cents of it goes to the farmer. The other 60 cents pays for processing, transporting, wholesale, or retailing, and the built-in maid services listed above. For consumers, food is still a bargain even though farm income — like non-farm income — has increased over the years. But, despite this progress, average per capita farm income is still only 73 per cent of non-farm income. With so many foods at so many prices to choose from, families of all ages and at different levels of income can enjoy a variety of nutritious meals every day of the year, not just during the holidays. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Lower of Toledo. Ohio, spent the week end with Mrs. Lower’s mother, Mrs. Ida Hibschman, at Syracuse. The Lower’s daughters, Connie and Carol, are spending their vacation in Hawaii. Mr. and Mrs. George Kleopfer, r 4 Syracuse, spent Thanksgiving with their daughter, Mrs. Robert Clasen, and Mr. Clasen at Medina. Ohio.
