MAIL TRIBUNE, .Medford, Oregon, Sunday, November 30, 1958 Farm Prices Down, Costs At New High Washington (CPU Farm prices declined slightly while far production costs inched upward to a new all-time high in the month ended Nov. 15, the agricultural department reported Friday. Most price changes during the month were relatively small. Primarily responsible for the decline in the index of prices received by farmers were lower prices for oranges, hogs, cotton, corn, and to bzacco. Seasonably higher prices for some fresh veget ables, potatoes, apples, and milk were only partially off setting. pven with the overall de cline, mid-November prices received by farmers were nearly 4 per cent above a year earlier. Farm costs, led by higher prices for new automobiles, kicked the prices-paid index to 308 per cent of the 1910-14 bas period. The mid-November prices-paid index was up one-third of one per cent from mid-October. The November index was 3 per cent higher than a year ealier. The prices-received index now has dropped for two con secutive months, and the prices-paid index has risen three consecutive months. The prices-receievd index for mid-Novemebr was 2ol per cent of the base period, down four-tenths of 1 Per cent from mid-October BLOOD PIONEER DIES Baltimore-CPB-Dr. Bertram M.
