Supply and demand: the basics of raising food costs

WESt LAFAYETTE — As consumers push their grocery carts past the meat counters, they seem to shake their heads and murmur, “Why, why, why?” Why are food prices — and especially meat prices — so high? There’s no simple answer, says Dr. Joseph Uhl, extension economics specialist at Purdue university. “However,” Dr. Uhl goes on to explain, “the current high food prices reflect supply conditions. A shortage of pork in 1972, poor harvest conditions for 1972 crops, short supplies of poultry and eggs, and huge grain shipments overseas all contributed to the current food prices.” Naturally, it isn’t all that simple. Unpredictable and uncontrollable factors such as weather, disease and yield also affect supply, making food prices more likely to bounce up and down than other items. Os course, supply is only part of the story. Demand is another important factor. And Dr. Uhl says consumer demand may be the largest influence of the current food price situation. Why the increase in demand? Dr. Uhl says there are several explanations. For one thing, consumers have more money to spend than ever before. From 1965 to 1972, per capita, after tax income increased 62 per cent, and 1972 consumer income increased another four per cent. Another reason for increased consumer demand is a rapid increase in government family food programs, the extension specialist points out. Last year 15 million people were given supplemental income or direct food grants to purchase food, he adds. “The economic stabilization program — the wage and price freeze — has also contributed to greater food demand,” Dr. Uhl

forgiveness, prayer, awareness and love. In the group of over fifty young people are students from Goshen, Elkhart, Northridge, Bremen and Fairfield high school, young working people and Goshen and Manchester college students.

Mrs. Dale Ressler of Nappanee acted as toast mistress for the occasion. The greeting for daughters was given by Mrs. Robert Fisher of Milford and the response for daughters by her daughter, Carol. Mrs. Ancil Fervida of New Paris gave a reading for grandmothers. Special recognition was given to Mrs. Howard McDonald of Nappanee and Mrs. Bruce Rogers, Sr., of New Paris for being mothers the longest period of time. Mrs. Lester Krull of Nappanee and Mrs. Russell Steel of Milford were honored for having the youngest children. A song titled “O, Mother” was sung by a trio consisting of Mrs. Jack Mikel, Mrs. Dan Smith and Miss Diane Fervida, all of Nappanee. They were accompanied by Mrs. Richard Grove of New Paris. Mrs. Grove was also the winner of the attendance prize. The decorating committee was Mrs. Robert Blosser, Mrs. Mikel and Mrs. Brad Blosser. O

says. “By holding down price rises in other sectors of the economy, this program freed consumer income for buying more meat.” And American consumers aren’t the only consumers increasing their demand. Foreign demand for US farm products has also played a role in current high food prices. Between July 1972 and July 1973, we will beat our previous record year for farm experts by $3 billion. Contrary to what has been true in the past, a growing population hasn’t had much influence on the current price situation, the economist reflects. In fact, population growth is the only factor in food demand which is slowing down instead of accelerating. “The basic reason for the explosive food price increases in the last 12 months,” Dr. Uhl concludes, “is that there has been a shortage of supply in the face of this growing consumer demand. This is especially true in the case of meat. While Americans could afford more meat, there simply has not been enough meat to satisfy the demand.” Is there relief in sight? Some, according to the extension economist. However, he quickly adds, consumers are not going to be happy with food prices throughout 1973. “Price increases are expected to slow down in the second half of the year. But an annual food price rise of six to eight per cent this year seems likely — even with the meat price ceiling imposed recently,” he says. The bright spot in the picture, he adds, is the price of pork, which should fall the second half of the year. However, he sums up, a leveling-off of beef prices is about the best we can expect. And poultry, fish and egg prices are going to remain high.

Small herb gardens

By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent The many small herb gardens which have recently sprung up have awakened a new interest in herb cookery. Unfortunately many people are reluctant to use herbs as they are afraid of not choosing the correct one for a given dish. There are no fixed rules for using herbs. There are a few customs, such as sage for stuffing and mint for lamb, but even these do not have to be followed. The beginner learning to use herbs may want to start with a few suggestions and then develop an individual herb philosophy. Whenever herbs are grown in the home garden, they are used fresh. Crisp green herbs have a finer flavor than any that are dried. In cooking with fresh herbs use about four times as much as when dry herbs are used. If the cooking time of a dish is very short, dried herbs will give a more delicious flavor if they have been moistened with a little warm water or salad oil and allowed to stand for 30 minutes. Foods which require long cooking should have the herb added during the last hours of cooking for the best flavor. Even the beginning cook can turn out dishes that are simple yet culinary “masterpieces” by following some simple rules. A good rule of thumb for dried herbs is to use ¥4 teaspoon to a recipe for four. And remember herbs are used to enhance the flavor not disguise it. A free bulletin entitled “Herb Gardens” is available in the extension office to help you start your herb garden. It contains information on location, harvesting, drying and winter care. Stop in and pick up your copy.
