—Lancaster Farming. Saturday, November 10. 1973 36 Expensive Food Here to Stay (Continued From Page 9) aggravates shortages in others. For example, a shift in the ocean currents off Peru has almost wiped out the catch of anchovies, a major source of animal feed. To offset this loss, demand for soybeans to be fed to cattle and hogs rose sharply. Consequently, all sources of protein felt the impact. At first glance, the gap between world supply and demand for food and feed grains does not seem great. But the effects are being magnified by two kinds of actions. Some exporting nations, including the U.S., are restricting world shipments in order to keep more of the supply for their consumption; and some big importers, especially Japan, are buying up all they can, fearing controls will be imposed. A tremendous surge in the U.S. trade year ending in mid-1973 brought farm exports to an all time record of $ll.l billion. Exports have been rising steadily in rfecent years from $5.7 billion PUBLIC SALE OF VALUABLE FARM MACHINERY, ORCHARD EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES On Saturday, November 24, 1973 at 11 A.M. sharp at Dietz Orchards, R.D.12, Hellam Branch, near Yorkana, Penna.

The world-wide demand for our farm products is felt in the American home. Exports do add to domestic shortages but farm exports make a large con tribution to the U.S. balance of payments which helps protect the value of the dollar at home and abroad. Rising food prices world-wide concern The same forces that caused an' escalation of food prices here are at work in other countries. In creasing population and greater affluences in the industrialized countries have accelerated demand for food. And there have been short crops that also have increased the price of products grown on the farm. These rising food prices are a more critical problem abroad than they are here. Consumers in every other major country spend a larger share of their income for food than U. S. Shoppers. Even so, their standard of living is increasing and their diets are changing. And meat is what they want, particularly beef. In other countries around the world, the price of beef is con siderably higher than in the United States. U.S. Agricultural Attaches visit markets in various foreign capitals to collect prices. Using Washington D. C. prices of NOTICE!!!

Dean Shull, Auct. $1.79 per pound for sirloin steak as a basis for comparison, beef in most Western European capitals costs 15 to 50 percent more than here. Sirloin steak sold for the equivalent of $2.59 per pound in London and $2.88 in Rome. Sirloin was $2.29 in Paris and $3.84 in Bonn. Beef is a rare luxury in Japan where beef loin was quoted at $12.86 per pound. Japan currently averages only 27 pounds of beef consumption per person compared with our 116 pounds. But in prosperous Japan people are demanding more beef and they are willing to pay the world’s highest prices to get it. Food prices in perspective The cost of everything pur chased is higher than it was 5,10, or 20 years ago. Because food is paid for in cash or check every week or more often, increases are highly visible. The cost of food has increased less than almost anything else purchased by the American family. Prices for all consumer items rose by 58 percent between 1952 and 1972; retail food went up 47 percent; housing prices climed by 64 percent. The price of medical care increased 123 percent during the same 20-year period, while transportation climbed 55 percent. Food prices tend to move more widely than most manufactured (Continued On Page 37) JANET M. POTTERSON Landisburg.
