• Because of the increase in
the average size of farms,
expenditure per farm will
continue to rise in 1961, ac
cording to extension farm
management specialists at
Penn State. Items that will
tend to keep costs higher
will be interest rates, taxes,
wage rates and new machin
ery.
Food costs have risen less
since 1947-49 than most oth
er consumer items. For all
items, the increase to April
1960 was 26.2 percent. For
food, the increase was 19.5
percent.
