High Food Production Advantage For U S Says Economist
Elyria Kiwanis Club heard Claude Hummel of Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland argue the United States benefits from abundant food production. He noted $8.7 billion invested in farm products, rising forecasts to $10.4 billion by mid-1960, and that farm incomes, while down modestly, remain above 1955–57 levels. He warned of a pork and beef price slump due to high feed, but predicted steady foreign demand and strong steel and housing trends supporting the economy. Ohio land prices run above national averages as farmers rebounded after mid‑1950s declines.

A Lorain County Employees Association meeting is set for 4 pm Tuesday to protest missing salary increases in several county departments. President Michael Savulak says the protest follows county commissioners creating year budget allocations with no raises except in courts, elections and the prosecutor’s office.
