However, farmer* will pay nore fc.* virtually all items of production ntx: year and some of these may be the highest on record Farm living coa' i will be higher and taxes will He higher Consequently, the production of more home-grown foods will be more important in 1951 The Korean war will mean high er taxes, which are not expected to absorb the increase in income of con sumers. So, the higher consumer in comes will be reflected in a high de mand for moat farm products, Mr. Massey asserted. “The best efforts of South Caro lina farmers should be (greeted tow ard meeting the abundant production of food. feed, fiber and other prod ucts,” Mr. Massey said. •Sound long time adjustments toward a balanced farming program should be contin ued. Long-time gains in maintaining, enriching and conserving the farm resources should be preserved.” The parity price index probably will continue to rise, he pointed out, with cotton prices supported a: around 90 per cent of parity. He advised farmers that if they have the land, machinery and labor aval - able, it would be all right to increase their cotton acreage in 1951. Farm labor will be scarcer an i farm wages higher. There will be a stronger demand for meat in 1951 and, although the overall ^production of meat will be higher than this year, meat prices will be higher in 1951. In view of this, Mr. Massey advised that bev; cattle production should continue to be a profitable enterprise for the next few years.
