Hi, .

Once upon a time, a little
red hen scratched around and
found some grains of wheat.

Net farm income is likely to remain
relatively low in 1978, according to Dr. C.
Edward Harshbarger and Dr. Marvin
Duncan in the December Monthly Review of
the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
The outlook for most farm prices in 1978 is
disappointing, the authors explain, because
of the prospect for large supplies. Most, if not
all, of the increases that may occur in gross
farm income in the year ahead will result
from expanded Government payments.
However, the Review article continues,
production costs will continue to rise in 1978.
offsetting expected gains in gross income.
And so. barring an unexpected spurt in
exports, net farm income seems destined to
remain low perhaps below $20 billion, as
compared to the high of almost $30 billion in
1973.
Due to large harvests in 1977 and bulging
carryover stocks, crop supplies for the
current marketing year are more abundant
than they were a year ago, the Review notes.
This portends generally weak prices. Thus,
Government programs will have a significant
impact in 1978, as farmers place substantial
quantities of grains and cotton under loan.

“Not I,” said the cow.
“Not I,” said the duck.
“Not I.” said the pig.
“Not 1.” said the goose.
So the little red hen planted
the wheat herself. It grew and
ripened well, and she asked:
“Who will help me reap my
wheat?"
“Not I,” said the duck.
“Not of my classification.”
said the pig.
“I'd lose my senority,” said
the cow.
“I’d lose my unemployment
compensation,” said the
goose.
So the little red hen con-
tinued to toil, reaping the
wheat, all alone. And when it
came time to bake bread, she
asked: “Who will help me
bake bread?”
“It would be overtime for
me,” said the cow.
“I’m a dropout and don’t
know how," squealed the pig.
"I'd lose food stamp bene-
fits,” said the duck.
"It would be discrimination
if I were only a helper,” said
the goose.
Undaunted, the little red
hen baked the bread herself.
Everyone wanted some and,
in fact, demanded a share. But
the little red nen refused,
saying she could eat the bread
herself.
“Excess profits!” bellowed
the cow.
"Capitalist leach!" cried the
duck.
“I demand equal rights!”
yelled the goose.
The pig just grunted. and
they all marched around the
little red hen, throwing mean

more bread.

The First National Bank

will hold an open house al
next week.
For the past several weeks
portions of the interior of the
bank has undergone extensive
remodeling, and according to
President, Al Wigley, several
new pieces of electronic equip
ment have been installed.
The most apparent part of
the remodeling was the
installation of the walkway
across the lobby. Also receiv
ing extensive work was the
Civic Room which was
carpeted and painted. The
room previously used for
directors meetings was
converted to storage and a
ladies lounge. The new
directors room is now located
on the south balcony.
A new enclosed office was
added for the bank’s trust
department.
