Pape Eipht THE CLINTON CHRONICLE / THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1949 Farm Outlook Bright For Coming 5 Years Federal Economists Show Optimism in Forecasts In spite of some recent declines in farm prices, agricultural econ omists of the U. S. department of agriculture took an optimistic point of view at their recent outlook con ference in Washington, D. C. In the past, these economists have confined their estimates of the out look to the coming 12 months. This time they tried to look five years ahead. And, they decided that things look fairly good for the farm er for that long:- Of course, they made two basis assumptions that some people still are n little doubtful about—that a stable peace will be established and that there will be no serious de- riiSTr- f| PURCHASING POWER lot liuat Ih ■ ■ •*->* •* /•, y*■ ! inunn nuiciTt. ■murttii f,'. -J America’s economic boom con tinues as buying power outpaces prices. pres«ion.

S.- Mexico commission has under taken the job of vaccinating from eight to 10 million cattle in the affected area by the end of 1949. Trained teams go ahead of the nine teams of vaccinators to preach the benefits of vaccination and convince the sometimes ig norant cattle owners that vaccina tion is the only alternative to disaster. By the end of 1949 the program will have cost approximately 50 million dollars. It includes five points: constant inspection, dis infection, eradication, vaccina tion and quarantine.
