Farm output up 9% during 1971 Farm output per unit of in put gained nine percent in 1971 over the year before, due to better than average growing conditions across the country and greater application of im proved technology, according to W. E. Barmore, State Executive Director of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. (ASCS.)

Use of purchased inputs gain ed one percent over 1970 but this was offset by a 1-percent drop in nonpurchased inputs. There was no change during 1971 in the quantity of farm labor, mechanical power and machinery, feed, seed, and pur chased livestock used in agri culture. A gain occurred in the fertilizer and liming material and miscellaneous input groups while there were decreases in the farm real estate and taxes and interest categories. Output per hour of labor rose markedly in 1971 over the pre ceding year—11 percent for crops and 8 percent for live stock. Among the crop groups, the greatest gains were 18 per cent for feed grains and 6 per cent for food grains. Production per man-hour rose in all farm production re gions, except the southern plains during 1971 with increases rang ing from 2 percent in the Pacific to 20 percent in the corn belt.

Here's quite an oddity that few people realize. Three of the first five U. S. Presidents all died on July 4th. The second U. S. President, John Adams, died July 4, 1826 at Quincy, Mass. The third U. S. President, Thomas Jefferson, not only died July 4— but on July 4, 1826 — the same day in the same year as Adams. Jefferson died at Charlottesville, Va. And the fifth U. S. President, James Monroe, died July 4, 1831 in New York — thus completing this amazing coincidence. And here's another interesting fact. . . A husband, wife and two children may have insured accounts totaling $280,000.00. Where you save does make a difference. Newberry Federal Savings and Loan Association DIRECTORS John F. Clarkson J. K.
