Farm Prices Showed February Gain
WASHINGTON UPI Agri
culture Secretary Freeman has be
gun his cabinet service with an
increase In farm prices during his
first month in office, a contrast
with the fate of the man he suc
ceeded. The Agriculture Department
Tuesday issued its regular month
ly report on farm prices. It in
dicated a 1 per cent increase In
farm prices for the month ending
' Feb. 15. The price level was up
nearly 5 per cent from one year
ago.
When former Agriculture Secre
tary Benson took office in 1953,
farm prices dropped nearly 2 per
cent during his first month of
service.
Tuesday's report Indicated that
prices are still well below thelposed new program to reduce
levels in effect when Benson took feed grain surpluses, which Is cur

prices on t ea. 15 were 244 per me department sam today it is
cent of the level in the 1910-1914 gathering figures on 1959 and 1960
base period. In February, 1953, acreage of feed grains from about
prices were at 261 per cent of 1.75 million farms in 1,800 ma-
the base period level.
Farm costs rose about one-third
of Lper cent last month to equal
the all-time record. But with the
price of farm products rising even
faster, prices averaged 81 per
cent of parity in mid-February,
up one per cent from one month
earlier and up three per cent
from one year ago.
The Agriculture Department is
getting ready in advance for op
erating the administration's pro-
jor feed producing counties all
over the country.
Department officials deny, how
ever, that the checkup on acreage
is an underhanded effort to pro
mote President Kennedy's plan to
reduce 1961 feed grain acreage.
The statements came after
Maryland farm leader accused the
administration of propaganda

PORTLAND (AP) - There

automation produces nothing
more than increased unemploy

work force, Al Hartung, president
of the International Woodworkers

The number of jobless in the
United States now exceeds the to

tung said, and he asked delegates
to an 1WA Western Regional
Council meeting to imagine an en
tire nation being out of work.
Automation is a No. 1 problem
that is not being given considera
tion, Hartung said in calling upon
President Kennedy to create at
once a commission to study the
impact of automation upon the
economy and the work force.
"If the benefits of automation
result in nothing more than grow
ing unemployment in the face of
an ever growing work force, the
end result could be riot and revo

Hoy Birds Don't
Lay Any Eggs
of $
By ANN LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: Recently we
bought a parakeet. We were told
it was male but last week he laid
an egg. We traded him (I mean
her) in on an
other bird which
was guaranteed
to be a male.
Well, a male Is!
supposed to
have blue color-
v ' big just above
2Si the beak and
around the nostrils and the fe
males are tan in that area. The
bird that laid the egg had the
blue coloring but we didn't know
it meant anything.
This morning I noticed the new
bird's nosepiece. It was definite
ly blue when we bought him but1
now it is turning tan. Can it be
that we've been getting birds that
change their sex or do some
male birds lay eggs? What shall
we do about this new bird? We've
already named him Bud. Thanks
for your help. JINXED
Dear Jinxcd: Change the name
to Rosebud and forget it.
By the time a parakeet Is one
month old you should be able to
tell definitely whether It's a boy
or a girl. If there is any white
around the nostrils you have a
lady bird.
Parakeets don't change srx and
boy birds don't lay eggs- You're
welcome.
