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.

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. In the south central

Blast Is Test For Project
NOME, Alaska (API A non
nuclear explosion was set off Fri
day in a test phase of a project
aimed at eventually using a nucle
ar blast to create a harbor.
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.
