Farm economist sees steady market as prices stay high
Iowa State College economist Tom Rackham notes retail food prices rose sharply January to June and remain high for the year. USDA data show most food groups up, with eggs fruits and vegetables driving the hikes. While meat and produce supplies will ease prices in late 1958, overall costs stay pressured and overproduction centers on grains. Canada and New Zealand meat imports affect the U.S. market as 1958 spring pigs hit the market. a Newhall couple reports a 4 1/4 pound potato from their garden.

Officials Suggest Larger Staffs Raise Costs of Counties
Bremer County officials note county office costs rise with larger staffs. A survey of 14 counties shows Bremer has one of the lowest costs with a three member auditor staff, while others with four or five members spend more. Population growth and licensing workload may push costs higher, an added clerk could raise treasurer costs, and differences reflect county population changes and duties.
