Slightly Higher Food Prices
Forecast for 1958 in Oregon
Corvallis If you consider
yourself an average Oregon
ian, you can expect to pay at
least as much or more of your
paycheck for food this year
as you did in 1957.
High levels of income and
employment are expected to
cause a continued strong de
mand for food products in
1953, according to a U.S.
Department of Agriculture
report relayed to local resi
dents by the county exten
sion office and Oregon State
college.
Here's how extension home
economists forecast the 1958
food situation on meat, poul
try and eggs, dairy products
and fruits and vegetables.
Meat: As a consumer, you
may eat less meat than you
did last year, but menus will
contain more meat than they
did between 1900 and 1955.
Pork is likely to be more
plentiful, and more attractive
pricewise after mid-1953.
Lamb supplies will be about
the same, but there's likely
to be less beef and veal.
Poultry and eggs: More
chicken and turkey meat but
fewer eggs are in prospect
this year than last. Increase
in chicken meat is expected to
come largely from commer
cial broilers.
Because there are fewer
ln-ni-P 4lite Tnnnrtr 1 4 h n n n
Iici j ci j iiiJ.o j auuai j a. mou a
year ago, egg production on
a nation-wide basis will prob
ably be below last year's, at
least until mid or late sum
mer. Retail poultry meat pric
es may average close to 1957
levels while egg prices will
probably be higher.
Dairy products: Total stock
of dairy products are much
higher this January 1 than
last. Milk supplies are expect
ed to increase above last year.
Prices may decline on dairy
products.
Fruits and vegetables: Sup
plies of fruits and vegetables
will continue large this
spring, but supplies will not
quite compare with the heavy
volume available in the same
months of 1957. Some excep
tions to this are large sup
plies of frozen peas and corn
and somewhat shorter sup
plies of frozen orange juice.
Apple and pear crops were
considerably larger this past
year, but December freezes in
Florida are reported to have
dimmed hopes for fresh cit
rus. If there are no more bad
freezes, harvest of winter veg
etables promises to be much
larger this year. Winter cab
bage, celery and lettuce ought
to show greatest increases.

ber 25, 1897, in Washington,

Prior to moving, to Med

Corn is the most important
food plant in the United
States. It is grown in every
state, and on three quarters
of all the farms. Though rela
tively little corn is eaten by
people, vast quantities of it
are fed to animals to produce
eggs, milk, meat and other
animal products for man.

Washington Preliminary
reports have been made on a
five-year study of the health
and nutrition of 577 men and
women over 50 years of age
in California, according to Nu
trition Reviews.
One of the more interesting
facts brought out in the report
is that there may be a lower
mortality rate among those
who, on first examination, re
ported high intakes of vita
min A, niacin and ascorbic
acid.
Those who were getting
less than 5000 International
Units of Vitamin A a day, the
recommended allowance for
an adult, had more nervous,
circulatory and respiratory
diseases than those with a con
siderably higher intake.
Most vitamin A in the diet
and almost all of the ascorbic
acid comes from fruits and
vegetables.
The study was made on 280
man and 297 women. Ages
ranged from 50 to 89.
