The Bureau of Agricultural Economics says abundant supplies should keep food prices from rising much in 1951. Price ceilings under the defense production act may limit increases, with some widening of farm to retail spreads. Beef prices could dip briefly during heavy marketing, but strong demand may prevent large declines. Overall civilian per capita consumption is expected to edge above 1950.
