Newspaper Page TextBusiness News ":. . . . Babson Reports: Economic Increasing in Dixie ' Br ROGER BABSON (Cspyrlght-ISSS Publishers Financial Burrs, lneerporatrg) . RICHMOND, Va Southern agriculture has come a long way line the days when Dixie was largely a two-crop country. Besides cotton and tobacco, she now raises a wide variety of valuable farm products, the sale of which greatly enhances the nation's total farm Income, THE OLD RELIABLES The bulk of the domestic cotton crop is grown in the South." It 7v 'ii- I ,pnn- were 11 not Ior th government Joan, this I if , lability of southern farmers to get more out of less :' ill U,A,,l4 HIMlll kaiinil u.itU . I I 1 ' . t ?y a "u"' wicon uavuv wuii wuiuin puces una acasun. f , J 1 I However, with prices supported at a good average J- 1 level, the white staple wjll add materially to Dixie's i i " I farm income during 1935-1936. 1 Tobacco has long been a major crop in the , 1 South. Millions of Americans smoke, and now with tmmmmmmm n increase. A Keger w. iihM nancy from smoking appears to have subsided, this year's above-average U.S. tobacco crop should have no difficulty moving into consuming channels at a fair price. Incidentally, I am tnld that increased use of filter-tip cigarettes should sharply boost demand for lower-grade tobacco. However, I am not an expert on smoking problems! SUGAR, SWEET POTATOES. AND RICE A sizeable amount of sugar cane is grown in the South, princi pally in Louisiana and Florida. This year's indicated crop of 7,056,000 tons is well above average, but is by no means excessive. The sweet potato crop also is mostly southern-grown. The 1955 estimated U.S. crop of 36.100,000 bushels is 21 per cent above the short crop of last year, but is 23 per cent below the 1944-53 average. I forecast a good demand at satisfactory prices. ' i Rice is a fairly important crop in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, snd Texas. Although the 1955 crop is well above the 10-year average It will by no means prove burdensome, since the outlook for U.S. consumption and exports is excellent. Prices, in fact, are likely to average somewhat higher over the longer term. GOLDEN HARVEST Your morning glass of orange juice or grapefruit juice probably originates in Florida. Texas, or Arizona. Pending a sudden freeze, I expect an early and mid-season orange crop for 1955-56 of around 67.000.000 boxes-Mown about 3 per cent from. the year-earlier outturn. Florida's Valencia crop should be in the vicinity of 39,000.000 boxes up 7 per cent from a year ago. Arizona and Texas should produce an additional 1.000.000 boxes. Florida tangerines should be around 4 600,000 boxes down 10 per cent from last year. A good total outturn of grapefruit is indicated in Florida, Texas, and Arizona; but at a wickedly low price. The processing end of the rap'dly. Demand for canned and doubtedly will be heavy a fact favorable to prices of fresh fruit. I forecast further growth for the processing division of the South's citrus business, but I urge that quality be maintained at a high level. OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PRODUCTS The South is a major producer of fruits and vegetables for winter consumption. Given favorable weather, the outlook for the season ahead is good. I must also mention peanuts, pecans, and tung nuts, which contribute to southern prosperity. The pecan crop this year is short, but the peanut crop is close to average. The South's teeming forests are a major source of raw materials for the naval stores, the lumber, and the booming paper and pulp industries. I expect a continued good demand for these products, allowing for the usual seasonal variations. Although Dixie is not without its agricultural problems-particu-larly cotton research, know-how. and patience should solve most of them over the longer term. The progress already made augurs well for the future. The South has also made great strides on the Industrial front. A strong agriculture, plus booming factories, will be combination hard to beat. Oregon Phone Utilities Show Marked Gain Telephone utilities in Oregon served as of Dec. 31, 1954, sp proximaely 536,586 stations through 223 exchanges, the State Utilities Commission reported Friday.
