But this style of living could not be expected to continue in definitely, certainly not at the expense of the farmer. The population of the world is growing and the amount of arable land is more or less fixed. A greater output can only be ob tained at an increasing cost.

N.Y. Lancaster Farming. Saturday. Ai income has been very low. The 'average net income per farm in 1972 was $7,000. One must ask then, if the interest on the money invested in the farm were allowed for, would there be anything left to reward the farmer for his labor and the labor of his family? I ask another question: is it not about time that the urban con sumer recognize the fact that the farmer is also entitled to a just return for his labor and capital? A British labor leader was quoted recently as having said, ‘We no longer have the divine right to be cheaply fed.’ One could wish that American labor leaders could show the same comprehension. The United States Department of Agriculture currently establishes milk prices at the farm level by Federal Milk Marketing Orders. Eastern Milk Producers Cooperative has urged the Federal Government to call a hearing to enable fanners to introduce evidence upon which an 88 cents per hundredweight or two cents per quart increase in Class I prices would be granted. >ri! 7.1973 Such minimal improvement in the income of dairy farmers is urgently needed and past due if we are to sustain a viable in dustry in the Northeast. “In light of milk supplies shrinking, farmers cannot keep abreast of costs. Consumers must respond to increased food costs unless they want to grow beef, milk cows and harvest crops in their backyards to sustain the quality and quantity of food that is required of farmers to produce today in the United States. “It is regretable that farmers are responding to the food boycott by withholding their product from the market. Nonetheless, this weapon is one that is currently being used and may require greater application if more orderly means of im proving farm income cannot be achieved. NOTICE AUCTIONEERS!
