Beef Becomes More Profitable Dairy Sideline
Ohio dairy farms may gain more from beef than milk in 1951 says C F Christian Ohio State University agricultural economist. He notes milk to beef income ratio shifted from 2 to 1 in 1950 and predicts continued advantage as beef demand exceeds supply. Three practices promote higher farm income: feed calves to 180 220 pounds, feed corn to culled cows, and raise replacements from the best cows while using poorer cows for beef.

Sparkman Urges Rural Welfare Plan To Lift 3.5 Million Families
Senator John Sparkman backs a state federal cooperative program to aid 3.5 million rural families with better farm methods and new jobs. He cites 2 million farm families under 1800 dollars yearly and 1.5 million rural non farm families under 2000 dollars in 1948. The plan seeks technical aid, private and government credit, and larger farms to raise living standards and add up to 2.5 million workers to the labor force.
