(Continued from Page 1) «nH longer vacation periods, fami lies must save somehow and cut somewhere. I think it will begin In 1962 in clothing. This will grad- ually become cheaper and more at tention will be paid to color. 19. The time is approaching when the weaving of cloth will be greatly curtailed. Clothes will be made like paper. Plastic coats are already on the market. These are produced by feeding cellophane in to a machine which cuts to desir ed sizes and bonds (not sews) the material into beautifully finished goods of different colors. 20. We will hear more about automation during 1962. But the cost of building automatic factories Is so great that the change is com- ing slowly. Even electronics has been overemphasized. 21. There need be no unemploy ment among steel workers during 1962. But Government unemploy ment figures will remain high, Foreign competition, due to low wages abroad, will be an import ant factor. Women will prefer to work in air-conditioned factories and have their home pa. .L*ies fill ed with precooked foods. 22. Labor unrest will grow in extent and power. The Kennedy Administration is friendly to un ion leaders and their demands. There will be demands for more “fringes” in 1962. A steel strike is possible. 23. This means that with increas ed taxes prices of retail products will be higher. This will be blamed on “inflation” of money; but it will be due to inflation of living standards. 24. The real value of the dollar will decline slightly during 1962, due to the decrease in the produc tivity of labor. The electronics in dustry will temporarily suffer in 1962 if atomic warfare is outlawed. But otherwise the electronics in dustry will increase for some years to come and hold up the dol lar value. Watch polymer chemi cals and “epoxy” cements. 25. There will be enough money for mortgages insured by the Fed eral Housing Administration in 1962. Plenty of money will be available for mortgages guaran teed by the Veterans Administra tion, although this supply varies with different sections of the country. Interest rates on conven tional loans not having any gov ernment guarantees will be a little higher. Real estate people will worry about the public’s desire to build, rather than about their ob taining mortgage money. 26. The kilowatt hours of elec tricity produced in 1962 will ex ceed the total of any previous year. This is favorable to utility prefer reds. 27. Steel production in 1962 will exceed this year’s 100 million tons, but the increase will come from producing steel in colors. 28. Cement production will be about the same in 1962 as in 1961, but the industry’s capacity to produce is increasing too rap idly in view of the demand. The cement manufacturers must give more attention to colors. 29. Expenditures for plant and equipment in 1962 will increase, supplemented by large appropria tions for repainting factories and offices in many colors. 30. Newsprint production de pends upon the number of news papers and the amount of advertis ing sold.

This may result in the increased use of coated paper to better take color printing—with a 50 percent increase in advertis ing rates. 31. Furniture manufacturers are marking up prices so that young couples will buy furniture in the raw and paint same themselves. 32. There will be some increases in color TV sales in 1962. In fact, I think the present TV market is far from being saturated. 33. First-class postage rates will not be increasing during 1962. Hence, more money will be spent on direct mail selling. This should help job printers in 1962, as their present margin of profit is very small. Billboard advertising will increase during 1962, due to a new kind of paint. 34. Lumber will do well to hold its own in 1962 and much of it will be sold colored. Wall-to-wall carpeting will become even more popular, reducing the price of the best hardwood floors. 35. Fewer “scatter rugs” will be sold in 1962. Rug dealers must go to brighter colors, even for “orien tals.” 36. One of the greatest develop ments during 1962 will be the in creased use of color in homes, of fices, stores, and factories. This should increase both the demand for and the price of good paint. 37. Exports will probably in crease during 1962, but the sur plus of trade in favor of the Un ited States is constantly decreas ing. 38. President Kennedy is en couraged by the recent elections in New York, New Jersey, and Texas. This Democratic trend will continue during 1962, notwith standing former President Eisen hower’s campaign speeches. 39. President Kennedy will be more favorable to “big business” in 1962 only when he is able to use big business to increase employ ment. Profit margins will not im prove during 1962, although most industries will do better in terms of gross and volume. 40. Bond prices will not change much during 1962, except in the case of “non-taxables”. European investors are buying American stocks and bonds feeling that their money is safer in United States industries and real estate. Even the first mortgage bonds of traps- continental railroads are being bought by Europeans. The manu facturers of West Germany are making huge profits through the use of new machinery and low wages. They are sending their money to the United States to be invested. They seem to prefer su burban real estate, shopping cen- Last Rites For Mrs. Hilley Mrs. Alma Horton Hilley, 61, died last Tuesday at her home.

The so-called “service in dustries” — including education, beauty parlors, travel, entertain ment, and government positions— should prosper in 1962. 42. Among the fastest growing industries in 1962 will be the plas tics and glass industries. These materials will gradually take the place of wood, stone, cement, and even some metals—except as these are colored. Plastics and glass will become more important building materials and perhaps be used much more for automobiles. 43. Although the countries of Europe could be the greatest suf ferers in case of World War III, the people I meet in Europe fail to realize this. I forecast that they will look at the situation more realistically during 1962. 44. The final result of 1962— whether it will make us a stronger or a softer nation—spiritually, physically, and mentally—depends upon our parents, teachers, preach ers, and newspaper publishers. These, and not Russia, hold the fu ture of the United States in their hands. 11 ■ iiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiii By County Agents 1961 In Review As this year draws to a close, we pause to reflect back on the year we’ve passed through and to look ahead to the New Year at hand. Most farmers got rather blue at times during the past year. It seemed the weather was never just right. It was either too wet or too dvy at times for planting or harvesting. However, now that we’ve reached the wind-up we can look back and see that it turned out to bea pretty good year af ter all. Let’s look on the bright side first. A number of farmers have reported to us that they made the best grain crop, the best cotton crop, and the best com crop that they have ever made. Not many years have all our major crops turned out so good. And feed for our livestock. Most farmers were able to put up the best winter’s feed supply they ever had. True, we’ve been a bit short on grazing so far this fall and winter, but the adequate stor ed feed on our farms will see most livestock through the win ter in good shape. Prices received by farmers for their livestock and crops held up better than expected through the year. Low prices were expected for eggs, hogs and beef cattle didn’t happen to the extent ex pected. Prices received for milk and dairy cattle held up about as expected during the year. As always there were a few dark spots in the picture. Prices farmers received for turkeys and broilers were too low to be pro fitable. Also our soybean crop was cut short by dry weather. And finally farmers expenses edged up this year to cut profits a bit r : ' "v more. Still we believe that a review of the entire year of 1961 brings us to the conclusion that it was a pretty good year after all. Our Newberry County Agriculture is enough diversified so that a fail ure or low prices of one crop or one livestock enterprise doesn’t threaten our entire economy. But so much for looking back. Now let’s look ahead to the new year during 1962. What will it be like? The Year Ahead In Newberry County, there will not be too much change in our agriculture unless more product ion controls along with market ing quotas come into effect. There will be the smallest acreage of wheat and barley ever harvested due to the national wheat pro gram. Also our cotton acreage will not likely increase over last year’s 4,000 acres. Our livestock economy including dairying, poul try, beef cattle and hogs will still dominate the picture. So let’s look at what the experts forecast for these enterprises. First dairying is expected to remain about the most stable of the lot. The dairy industry in South Carolina has established it self during the past 12 months and milk prices are expected to remain close to the same as in 1961. With this somewhat favor able out look dairy farmers are urged to bring their operation to top efficiency during the coming year. This.can be done mainly by increasing production per cow and by reducing labor requirements with more machinery and equip- 1 ment. Next let’s look at poultry. Egg production is still booming in Newberry County with several new laying houses under con struction at present. With two good years of egg prices just com pleted it is only natural that egg prices are expected to decline in the coming year. Most forecasters don’t expect a panic in the egg market such as has occurred with broilers and turkeys. Under these conditions egg producers can’t re lax, but with good management practices should be able to pi through. Broiler and turkey prices aren’t expected to improve much over this year’s prices. Beef cattle numbers have in creased and this points to increas ed slaughter anti slightly Iot prices. With any serious weatl or other conditions that wouk force heavy numbers of cattle to market, prices should rems fairly favorable. With many res in Newberry County that could and should be in grass. th« is still ample opportunity for ex pansion of beef cattle in Nev berry County. In summary the outlook is i<. most prices of farm products average slightly less than in li Rising labor costs and added ex penses for more equipment, etc. will make the squeeze just a tie tighter. With this picture in pros the need becomes great for fai ers to apply more of the business principles to The use of records, better agement practices, balancing farming operation and wise us of credit will have to be brougl to bear to keep going on an ever keel. No, we aren't looking on the gloomy side. We simply need to face facts and plan to a ake things go instead of waiting for them to turn out right. Yeu farming is now a year round job. Let’s start now to make 1962 a good - year. Dairy Awards It was our pleasure to attem the Annual Christmas get - gether for the Pet Dairy produ< ers who ship to the Columbi market. One of the highlights the meeting was the Quality Aw ards presented to those produc ers who had maintained the higl standards for producing top qual ity milk during 1961. We were proud to see that five of these awards were mf.de to Newberry dairy farmers.
