‘Dropout Rate’
Is Highest for
Small Towns
WASHINGTON, D C.-'
Young men from smell towns
are more apt to drop out of
high school before graduation
than their central city counter
parts
According to Finance Facts,
a monthly newsletter on con
sumer behavior published by
the National Consumer
Finance Association, 1970
census data shows that 15.2
percent or I 6 million-of the
young men 16 to 21 years old
were school dropouts.
A total 19 8 percent of the
young men in small towns (or
rural non-farm areas) were not
then enrolled in school nor
were they high school grad
uates.
Finance Facts noted that
while the propoition of school
dropouts in urban and rural
areas closely paralleled the
national percentage, the drop
out proportion in small town
areas was significantly higher.
TWELVE-YEAR-OLD BAGS DEER
Twelve-year-old Chris Hilliard of Coosa recently
killed this I 30-pound deer near his home. Chris is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Hilliard of Coosa and the

Farm Market Survey
ATLANTA A steady to
higher price trend prevailed for
cattle, broilers, eggs, cotton,
grain and fruits and vegetables
during the week ended Dec.
15, USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service.
The exception was hog
prices which showed a mixed
trend Prices ranged steady to
25 cents lower at packing
plants in the Georgia-Florida-
Alabama, but ranged strong to
50 cents higher at North
Georgia, Nashville and Louis
ville.
Peanut and pecan prices
held steady, while tobacco
prices showed little change
LIVESTOCK
Prices on feeder cattle and
calves at Southeastern markets
sold sharply higher during the
week ended Dec 15, thus re
covering some of the recent
weeks losses, USDA’s Agri
cultural Marketing Service re
ports. Factors influencing the
upturn of prices around the
circuit were reduced supplies
and the sharp escalation of
prices on live cattle and carlot
dressed beef.
Virtually all feeder cattle
found expanded outlets. How
ever, most activity was
centered on 600 to 800 pound
cattle for immediate shipment
to feedlot areas.
At Midwest points, slaugh
ter cattle closed $2 to $3
higher. These advances pushed
mid-week prices to the highest
level since the July price
summit Again, marketings
were regulated by feeders and
forced slaughter outlets into a
“take” situation. The carlot
carcass trade advanced rather
sharply during this same period
and closed $2.50 to $3.50
higher.
In the Southeast, feeder
steers and heifers sold 50 cents
to mostly $1 higher, some
cases $1 to $2 up. Calves sold
largely $1 to $2 higher.
Slaughter cows sold unevenly
steady to $1 higher
Barrows and gilts sold some
what uneven with closing sales
in the Georgia-Florida-Alabama
auction and direct area steady
to 25c lower. However, North
Georgia, Nashville and
Louisville sales were strong to
50 cents higher. In the Midwest
carlot pork trade cuts sold un
evenly $1 00 to $5.00 higher
for the week
POULTRY AND EGGS
In the Southeast, the broiler
market improved and generally
was fully steady to firm during
the week ending Dec 15, AMS’
Dairy and Poultry Market
News Branch reports
In early negotiations, truck
lot trading trended one cent
per pound higher for West
Coast delivery, and unchanged
to fractionally higher in the
Midwest and East Preliminary
FO B dock equivalent prices
ranged from 24% to 27% cents
per pound on U.S Grade A
and 24% to 26 cents per pound
on plant grade.
Ready-to-cook demand
ranged fair to occasionally
good with overall movement
seasonal in nature Live sup
plies were mostly adequate
with weights desirable.
The undertone on heavy
type hens remained weak and
unsettled under ample to ex
cessive live offerings and a con
tinued sluggish wholesale and
retail demand Farm prices
ranged from 17 cents to 21
cents per pound FO B. farm
with mostly prices difficult to
ascertain Offerings of light
type were mostly adequate.
Demand was fair to good
Farm prices ranged 7 to 8
mostly 7% to 8 cents per
pound Ready-to-cook move
ment irregular but generally
fair.
A firm undertone prevailed
for eggs at the week’s close.
Cartoned prices to volume
buyers in the Southeast were
sharply higher when compared
to a week ago Extra large
ranged 53 to 59 cents, large 52
to 57 cents and mediums 51%
to 56 cents. Supplies of the
larger sizes generally were
adequate, while mediums range
barely adequate to short. Most
dealers experienced a fair to
good demand throughout most
of the week.
COTTON
Spot cotton prices advanced
at southern cotton markets
during the week ended Dec.
14, USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service reports.
Demand was best for the
higher grades of cotton which
comprised a decreasing pro
portion of offerings
Mill inquiries were fairly
numerous and covered a broad
range of qualities for both
nearby and forward delivery.
The buying tempo failed to
increase significantly as mer
chants were reluctant to sell at
the level of prices being bid.
Inquiries from foreign
sources decreased in most
markets across the belt
Trading was the slowest in
recent weeks.
Prices for Middling 1-inch
cotton at the 12 spot markets
averaged 27.98 cents per
pound, net weight, on Thurs
day, Dec. 14. This compares
with 27.29 cents a week earlier
and 30.88 cents a year ago.
Prices for Middling 1

markets averaged 32.67 cents
per pound. This was 109 points
