P A (IF, SIX
Household, Farm Problems
Extension Workshop Topics
Problems that confront not only the farmer of America but also
those that may interest the average American housewife are being dis
cussed this week by the Agricultural Workshop in Nittany Lion Inn.
Marketing experts from 12 northeastern states and the District
of Columbia are attending the workshop being conducted by the
Agricultural Extension Service of the College. These experts will
discuss new methods and problems in marketing and take recom-
mendations back to their various
states.
In the opening address, Mon
day, Director J. M. Fry of the
Pennsylvania State Agricultural
Extension Service told the as
sembly that homemakers want
information on varieties, grades.
and pripe spreads on sizes and
qualities of products. By keep
ing them informed on crop har
vests, he said, they can take ad
vantage of favorable prices and
help avoid surpluses and waste.
Mr. Fry also ref erree to the
development of roadside produce
stands, curb markets, and co
operative marketing as trends in
a move aimed at giving the buy
ing public "fresh fruits and
vegetables at fair prices, and the
farmer maximum net return."
Yesterday Dr. George E. Bran
dow, professor of Ag Economics,
explained the farmer's share in
prices.
On highly processed foods such
as canned fruits and vegetables
or bakery products, Dr. Brandow
said, the farmer makes only from
15 to 25 per cent. On meats, but
ter, and eggs, he makes 65 to 75
per cent. The further away from
the market the farmer is, the
smaller his share of the con
sumer's dollar. In 1947, his avef
age share of the purchaser's dol
lar was 54 cents.
There is no economic or other
basis on which the future of
prices can be reliably predicted,
said Dr. Brandow. Chances that
the boom in this country will
continue for at least nine months
or a year seem good, he stated.
Mr. F. W. Peck, director of the
Farm Foundation, Chicago, also
spoke on Monday. Dr. George F.
Johnson, visual aids specialist of
the Pennsylvania Extension
Service, also spoke last night.

Bereavment of ZTAI
Sorrowful Despite
Smell of Fish
Black crepes hung from the
doors in the Zeta Tau Alpha
suite recently. The Zetas were
mourning for Martha Mander
bach in her hour of sorrow.
"Mandy" had left the suite
with a notice on her door stating
that she had lost a loved one.
When she came in at 11, her
sorority sisters held a candle
light service. The room was
draped in black. It was a macabre
scene.
The cause of the great sadness
was the death of Mandy's pet
goldfish.
As the girls left the room,
they murmured to themselves,
"Only two more days until 'fish'
day in the dining room. Who
knows what we'll be eating?"
