ecntly concluded a program
which took a hard look at •
wide range of industry prob*
lems.
In a panel discussion, es>
ecutives of the lamb depart*
ments of several major pack
ers reminded feeders of a
number of factors that ad*
versely affect live prices.
John Copeland of Swift &
Company in Chicago warned
feeders that just because re
ceipts are light doesn’t mean
higher live prices and might
even mean lower prices
because the processor’s costs
remain as high or higher.
Bob Davis of Rath Packing
Company in Waterloo, lowa,
emphasized that the value of
by-products, namely tongues,
livers, casings and pelts, have
a substantial effect on prices
paid by packers
Davis was concerned that if
the export market where 90
per cent of tongues and livers
are sold should dwindle,
it could make a difference of
50 to 60 per cwt on
live prices. The export mar
ket is also important for pelts
since there are only a small
number of domestic tanneries,
and, according to Davis, com
petition from other countries
offering pelts may mean the
market won’t be as good in
the next few months. Davis
estimated that the value of
pelts currently makes a dif
ference of $1 cwt in the price
paid for lambs.
Parasites are another prob
lem which Davis said cause
losses of about 40 per cent of
livers and casings.
Art Sullivan of Armour &
Company in. Chicago, bemoan

Dropout Survey
Shows Why l/4th
Quit High School
More than a fourth of the
Nation’s youth farm and
nonfam 16 to 24 years old
were school dropouts in 1960,
according to a report pub
lished recently by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
The report by USDA’s Eco
nomic Research Service, based
on the last general U.S. cen
sus (1960), seeks to determine
social and economic factors be
hind school dropouts among
the 21 million farm and non
farm youth between the ages
of 16 and 24.
The dropout rate was high
er among rural than among
urban youngsters.
For both farm and nonfarm
areas, the dropout rate was
'higher among the nonwhite
than among the white school
age population The rates were
48 per cent for American In
dians, 44 per cent for Negroes,
'ES per cent for native whites,
and less than 10 per cent for
youths of Japanese and Chin
ese heritage, the report states.
Dropout rates among the
white youths whose parents
were born in the United
States were substantially high
er than among those whose
parents were born in north
ern, western, or eastern Eu
rope, and about the same as
for youngsters whose parents
were born in southern Europe,
according to the report.
One serious factor hamper

was school retardation • drop

youths enrolled in grades be
