Monday, Nov. 21, 1960 irarm Costs To Change i Very Little ' WASHINGTON (UPI) - The ' Agriculture Department said to- - day total farm production expens . es in 1961 will be little changed . from this year when they leveled oil alter a long uptrend. ; Production expenses for goods : and services of non-farm ' origin ; generally were about the same or! slightly higher in 1960 compared f with 1959, the department said in I its 1961 outlook issue of "The Farm Cost Situation." The report was published during the 38th an- - nuai Agricultural uuuook lomer ence. - Total wages of hired hands were about the same this year as last, but interest payments and taxes rose sharply. Expenditures for livestock and feed, which were ob tained largely from other farmers, were lower in 1960 than in 1959. Expenditures per farm con tinued to rise, because of the in crease in the average size of farms. Costs and returns on eight types of farms, widely scattered throughout the country and rep resentative of much of U.S. agri culture, indicate that production expenses were generally higher in 1960 than in 1959. Increases ranged up to 12 per cent on inter mountain cattle ranches where, because of drought, more hay was bought at higher prices. In the first 10 months of I960, prices paid by farmers for pro Suction items, including interest taxes, and wage rates, averaged about one-third of 1 per cent high er than a year earlier. Prices paid for farm machinery were about 3 per cent higher, and wage rates averaged 2 per cent higher. Taxes were 8 per cent higher, and interest payments per acre on total mortgage indebtedness were nearly 10 per cent higher -than last year. Prices of most other goods and services of non- tfarm origin were about the same -as in 1959. Moderately higher farm wage rates are anticipated in 1961, but 'the total wage bill will not differ ,greatly from 1960 because, fewer hired hands wilt be hired. Machin ery will continue to be substituted. -Interest paid by farmers hi I9601 will total about $1.34 billion, of Which $640 million is on loans se cured by real estate mortgages and about $700 million Is on short- term loans. Interest payments in -1961 are expected to be slightly higher as a result of increased borrowing. , Real estate and personal prop. rty taxes paid tn 1960 by farmers are expected to total about $1,' ,248,000,000. Further increases are expected in 1961. The department aid farm property taxes have risen faster since 1947-49 than al most any other farm cost item. The department estimated farm ers' expenditures for property and casualty insurance in I960 will to tal about $360 million. This Is an Increase of about 8 per cent ver last year. "DENNIS THE MENACE" Sl-21 " ' Nixon Clinches Alaska JUNEAU, Alaska AP) ViceNixon's lead was 225-137. President Richard M. Nixon The Republican lead in the regu- r i T, . c P'T lar balloting was 27,988 27.330, counting of absentee ballots gave him a steadily mounting lead. With more than half of the state's approximately 5,000 absen tee votes tallied Nixon had picked margin of 658. The outcome provided one of the major form reversals of the elec tion. Alaska had been generally conceded by political experts as up another 205 and stretched his i firmly in the Democratic column margin over Democratic Presi dent-elect John F. Kennedy to 953 The remaining absentees were from areas which gave the Re publican candidate an edge in the regular balloting. At this point Nixon's over-all total in the surprising upset was 29,390, Kennedy's 28,437. Even in usually Democratic southeast Alaska Nixon gained in the absentee count, which went to him 792-627. On 728 absentee ballots out of some 1,300 in the central-Fair banks area Nixon took 385 to Ken nedy's 343.

The Atomic Energy Commission would say only that the explosion at the Project Chariot site in the Cape Thompson area was successful. Cape Thompson Is 200 miles north of here and more than 100 miles north of the Arctic Circle. The AEC said the blast was de signed to test ground character istics. The project calls for a later lest, in the same area, using a nuclear blast. The AEC has said four nuclear devices equal to 260,000 tons of TNT would carve a key-shaped harbor. The devices would be buried 400 to 700 feel deep. According to the AEC time table, this blast could not take place before March, 1962. If the experiment was success ful, the AEC said, the method might be used to create other harbors and to dig canals.
