CHICAGO—The sharp break in grata and livestock prices whe- ther temporary or permanent was a warning signal for far sigh ted farmers to prepare themselves for lower prices which will come sooner or later, according to the Middle West Soil Improvement Committee. "Farmers can best hedge against the threat of slumping prices by putting their land ta shape to pro- duce top yields at low unit cost per acre,' says a statement made public here by the committee. "Farm prices aie the most sensi- tive of any commodity. They are the first to rise and the first to fall. Production costs now the highest in history have risen gra- dually. They will be alow to recede. Thus if prices skid and production costs remain high, individual farm income will suffer. "The farmer who makes money ta a competitiev market when prices are lower is the fanner who keys up his crap producing efficiency. "High acre yields pre the secret of profitable - operations in good times or bad. It costs no more fox seed and tillage to produce a 100 bushel crop than a 50-bushel crop The difference lies in the soil man- j agement methods a farmer u**s. "Good soil pianagement means ' playing fair with the soil It means using "faimtag practices that will build and maintain soil structure. "Vital in any soil management program is a good rotation supported by liming accoidtag to testa, the use of fertilizer to add needed plant food and conservation measures to keep the soil ta place."
