Q. Is it true that blood _pressure
is,affected by changes in weather?
A. No. Two Georgia physicians
examined 483 patients and found
no evidence that changes in air
temperature, barometric pressure,
or relative humidity were asso-
ciated with changes in blood pres-
sure.
Q. Are shoe -fitting x-ray machines
safe?
A. It -depends upon what you mean
by "safe." Some shoe -fitting x-ray
machines are Probably as safe as
the manufacturers can make them
—others are anything but safe.
Shoes can. be properly fitted with-
out such gadgets. Why spend part
of your ,radiation allowance for a
needless procedure?

Let us see what happens when 1,
as an i4dividua1 producer, eompete
.with' mass production of farm
products.
I produce -hogs,"•-eggs and beef,'
all in a small, way. I buy feed.
Since 1 am a small.producer, I like
to' pick up feed 'at the mill in,
small lots.in order to, have 4, fresh.
A mill operator quoted' me a price
of $62 a' ton for hog grower which
I would 'pick up 'at,.._14. nfll! door
in half ton lots. 11 T *ere a large
operator the same mill would de-
liver a seven ton load, in bags, to
my farm for $60 per ton. This
mill operator admitted that he had
considerably lessprofit per ton in
the large lot than in the sma11,101,
yet because of the better bargain-
ing- position of the large, producer
he was forced into this practice:
$o mucn for the buying, Now
let us look at marketing , If 1
sell one hog through the hog,pro.
ducers Marketing Agency 1 wil
receive exactly the same price per'
cwt. as the prbdneer-\Vhd 'Sella -100
or 1000. TiliF - seems to ire to be
as it should be.
,,jn. the case of t,urkeys, I can't
AIWA -.4,o- ,ris.k- prodheing • with out a •
contract because-7.1.:rnight:thaver,no:
market for the tiii'keyS. 1 -he"
cessor will. take the Contract birds
first and the only time the inde-
pendent can sell his product is in
a time of short !supply. 11 T have
a contract I know that I must pro-
duce better and cheaper than my
neighbor or I will lose my corr.,'
tr4d. My neighbor is very- tough
competition.
When I deliver'one case of eggs.
a week 10 the egg -grading station
I get market price. If I have 20
Cases of eggs a week the egg -
grading station will send a truck
to pick up. those 20 cases and pay
me a bonus of 2 or 3 cents a dozen
over market price. Yet Govern-
ment reports. show that the small
producer supplies by 'far the most
eggs to the consumer. And he
,does it cheaper.
In the case of cattle there are
various met hods of • selling. • Here,
auction selling seems to be gain-
ing favor but in my experience
found that I paid the auctioneer
of a community sale to buy'' my
-cattle for a large feeder rather
-.than tosellmy cattle to the high-
est bidder.
We lloar a great deal of talk
on how profitable and how efficient
large operators are and that the
small producer 'can't survive; but
why? ,
In the light of the above facts
it seems to. me that the large' oper-
ator is making a •profit 'because of
stronger bargaining. position; first
in buying his 'feed and second in
selling his product.. •
I, along with hundreds of other
small produe&V"who are. really
supplying the food of the nation,
on2V-a5k any -favors
but 1 don't want to subsidize the
feed and 'selling of the ,product 01
the large producer:
1 have heard a dot of complaints
about: the Hog Producers .Market-
ing Agency but I have never heard
the strength of their ba -gaining
position, questioned', Also, hogs
and tobacco are the only farm pro-
ducts . that I know of which are
sold on thebasis of a Government
grade to the producer. Strong
bargaining position and Governi ment grade at producer level en•
sure a fair price to the producer.
Let's keep them ,on July 251h. •
