Final Farm Price Report Of This Year Due Today
Washington reports that the final agricultural price survey of 1953 is released as President Eisenhower prepares to present the farm program to Congress.

Prices paid for hogs and cattle have strengthened, while the report arrives too late to shape current policy but will be cited in the run up to the 1934 congressional elections and farm law renewal.

Genetic Advances to Raise Farm Animal Output
Washington ISA top Agriculture Department scientist Dr. T. C. Byerly says genetic changes can lift livestock output by at least 30 percent, with selective breeding adding 15 percent and inbreeding a further 15 percent. Swine breeding aims to cut lard production while boosting ham and bacon yields. crossbreeding yields larger litters. Beef cattle show potential for a 10 percent gain in output over 15 years, dairy cattle already up 20 percent in 20 years aided by artificial insemination and heat tolerant Sindhi cattle. Sheep breeding yields faster growing lambs with better carcass quality.

Government economists refute looming major recession
Washington economists say no underlying factors justify fear of a major downturn. An inventory adjustment in manufacturing stems from producing more than demand and should correct by spring with renewed activity. If spring demand is weak, a mild recession akin to 1949 remains possible, but no sizable downturn is expected given high income, robust public spending, and strong business investment.
