1 .1une STATON BULLETN 41 ton of purchased goods and servces n producton may prove a fnancal hardshp. n such years outlay may be held down by deferrng the purchase of equpment and the postponement of all except the most pressng tems of repar and upkeep. On the other hand, n years of favorable prce relatonshps replacements of permanent equpment, new nvestments, and extensve repars, as well as debt reducton, should receve major consderaton n utlzng the larger excess of ncome over operatng expense. New technques n farmng requr more judcous longtme fnancal Plan nng n order to receve maxmutn beneft from them. As most of these new technques nvolve addtonal captal nvestments and also a larger volume of busness to use them most effectvely, they do ere. ate an addtonal fnancal burden for the startng farmer. The startng farmer needs not only more captal than for. merly, but also more techncal know}. edge n order to use the new technques to best advantage. Rex W. Cox S lf/llllfd eonclusohs 1. Changes n farm technques on dary farms n southeastern Mnnesota durng the last 3 years nclude the substtuton of mechancal for anmal power, the general mechanzaton of the farm busness, and the adopton of new varetes of crops and new practces n crop and lvestock producton. 2. n general these new technques have resulted n ncreased output per man, per acre, and per anmal. 3. Labor saved by power machnery has been utlzed largely by ncreased numbers of lvestock. 4. Larger producton of crops and lvestock has ncreased both gross and net ncome per farm. But the expense per dollar of ncome has also ncreased snce more of the goods and servces used n producton are now purchased rather than produced on the farm. 5. The ncreased earnngs that result from the adopton of new producton technques are hghest n years when the purchasng power of farm products s relatvely hgh. Even wth a moderately low purchasng power of farm products, the farmer stll has a larger excess of ncome over operatng expendtures. n general, t s only when prce relatonshps are extremely unfavorable to the farmer, as they were n 1932, that the use of new technques may prove to be a hardshp. F:armers could ease ths stuaton by deferrng the purchase and upkeep of equpmen buldngs, and real estate mprovements to years of more favorable prce relatonshps.. New technques n producton adopted durng the perod covered by ths study may result n wder fluctuatons n ncome from year to year than occurred before ther adopton even though the average gross and net ncomes are hgher. 7. The great varablty of net earnngs from year to year resultng from the use of new technques calls for careful plannng of captal nvestments and debt servcng by the farmer and perhaps a more flexble type of credt for farmers generally. 8. New technques put an ncreasng burden on the startng farmer as they nvolve more captal nvestment n machnery and equpment, the purchase of more of the goods and servces used n producton, a larger sze of busness, and much more techncal knowledge, mechancal ablty, and busness judgment.

Supples of other fats and ols were also short. Consumpton was lmted by ratonng. When supples of fats and ols became more plentful, there was a shft to margarne rather than a return to butter. Ths shft was encouraged by the dfferental between butter and margarne prces and by the reducton n federal and state restrctons on colored margarne. One consequence s that many consumers are unwllng to pay prces they formerly pad for a gven supply of butter. The purpose of ths study s (1) to show the varaton n the consumpton of butter and margarne by n Mnneapols and to account for these dfferences, and (2) to search for nformaton whch wll be useful n pontng out future changes n the compettve status of these products.

The study s based on the reported consumpton of groups of n varous parts of the cty. The were selected to provde a good representaton of condtons n the cty as a whole. The areas and the number of ntervewed n each area had been prevously desgnated n accordance wth an overall sample desgn.

Also, the dstrbuton between table and nontable use was about the same. VARATON N RATES OF CONSUMPTON All Fats and Ols The average rates of consumpton for the cty as a whole were derved from showng a wde range n consumpton per consumng unt. Seventy of the were found n groups where the total consumpton per consumng unt was between.8 and 2.. Table 5.

When the consumpton of ndvdual fats and ols was examned on the varous levels of total fat consumpton, all tems were found to ncrease as the level of total consumpton rose. Ths suggested that were more alke n the composton of ther consumpton than n the amount of fat consumed. General food habts of n preferrng or not preferrng a large fat ntake thus appeared responsble for the larger dfferences n the total consumpton per consumng unt rather than an assocaton of larger consumpton wth an ndvdual fat. However, there were some marked dfferences n the proportons of the fats used at varous levels of total consumpton (table ). The declne n the proporton of butter and the rse n the proporton of salad ols, spreads, and dressngs were partcularly marked. Thus, whle butter consumpton per consumng unt ncreased from.31 pounds n the group consumng less than.8 pounds of total fats to 1.17 pounds n the group consumng 2.8. pounds or more, the butter proporton dropped from 5.1 to 33.. n the case of spreads and dressng, not only the amount ncreased sharply but also the proporton.

Factors nfluencng Rates of Consumpton ncome, natonalty, and sze of famly appeared to be the prncpal factors responsble for varatons n proporton of usng varous fats and n rates of consumpton.

Therefore, dfferences n natonalty probably accounted for only a mnor part of total varaton n consumpton of dfferent products. FAMLY NCOME AND CONSUMPTON The total fat consumpton was approxmately the same on all ncome levels. n consequence, the ncrease n expendture per consumng unt per week was due manly to the purchase of hgherprced fats and ols on the hgher ncome levels (table 8). A prevous study of the consumpton of fats and ols conducted at a tme when ncomes were: relatvely low ndcated a sgnfcant ncrease n consumpton as well as cost and expendture on the upper ncome levels.: t was lkely that even on the lower ncome levels famly W. C. Wate and R. W. Cox..A Study of the Consumpton of Fats and Ols n Mnneapols, Mnn. Agr. Expt. Sta. Bull S ncome was suffcently hgh n 1952 to permt a volume of purchases comparable wth that made by n the upper ncome groups. The composton of purchases, however, dffered sgnfcantly among ncome groups. The ncrease n the average cost of fats purchased gves an ndcaton of the shfts whch take place between the sources of fat as the ncome level rses. The tendency for greater use of the more expensve fats n the hgh than n the low ncome groups s shown n table 9, whch gves the consumpton per consumng unt of each of the fats and ols on the varous ncome levels. Consumpton of butter, spreads, and dressngs tended to ncrease, and consumpton of margarne tended to declne wth ncreases n ncome. n smlar studes of the consumpton of fats and ols t was not unusual to dscover that the average consumpton of shortenngs and of lard and shortenngs combned s less n the upper ncome group because of the substtuton of cookng ols n fryng. These changes have been tested by varance analyss and found to be sgnfcant at the 5 level. Table 1.

The ncreased consumpton of the hgherprced products and to some extent the ncrease n prces pad per pound resulted n a marked shft n the relatve expendtures among the dfferent ncome groups (table 11).' For example, the expendtures for butter were not only more than onehalf of the total expendtures on the lower ncome level, but n ths group spent four tmes as much on butter as on margarne. n the upper ncome group expendtures on butter accounted for 2 of the total and were about 12 tmes the expendtures on margarne. ' The average prce pad for butter by n the upper ncome group was about 2 cents more than the average prce pad by n the lower ncome group.

6 STATON BULLETN NATONALTY, SZE OF FAMLY, AND CONSUMPTON The nfluence of famly ncome on the average rates of consumpton of butter and margarne became all the more evdent when both natonalty and sze of famly were held constant. Table 12 shows the consumpton rates for two dfferent sze groups of natve whtes on the varous ncome levels. Famly ncome seemed to have no apparent effect on the consumpton of butter by of small sze. However, on each ncome level the consumpton per consumng unt of the small exceeded that of the larger. The use of butter by the large rose sharply as ncome ncreased. For ths group, the average consumpton per consumng unt on the upper ncome level was about twce that on the lower level. The changes n margarne consumpton were somewhat comparable to those of all ncluded n the study. FAMLY NCOME AND PROPORTON OF FAMLES USNG BUTTER AND MARGARNE More concrete nformaton of the nfluence of ncome on the consumpton of butter and margarne s shown n table 13. The data n ths table suggest that famly ncome was more nfluental n determnng the use of these products than n determnng the amounts used. Fqr example, there w a marked ncrease n the proporton usng butter only and a mark d declne n the proporton of famle usng margarne only as famly ncollles ncreased. The proporton of famm e consumng both products was Pra tcally the same n all ncome group On each ncome level, the consum;: ton of butter by usng butter only was about the same as the con. sumpton of margarne by Usng margarne only. Also, the consump. ton of each product by these two respectve groups of was about the same on each ncome level Among the usng both butter and margarne, the consumpton of butter exceeded that of margarne on each ncome level. The amount of butter consumed per consumng unt by these dd not vary sgnfcantly among the varous ncome groups. The amount of margarne consumed by these decreased from the lowest to the next ncome level, but remaned practcally the same for the upper three ncome groups. t was evdent that the use of overall averages based on both consumng and nonconsumng for the purpose of comparng the consumpton on dfferent ncome levels tended to obscure the real effect of ncome. When each consumng group was examned separately, the unformty of consumpton rates was surprsngly hgh; however, the proporton of usng Table 13.

Changes n the Consumpton Pattern n 1938, practcally all Mnneapols used some butter, but by 1952 the proporton had dropped to 9 per cent (table 14). The proporton of usng some margarne ncreased from 4 to almost 39. Table 14.

Nnety of these consumed butter only before World War (table 15). About 75 of the latter group contnued to use butter only durng the war, most of the remanng shftng to the use of both butter and margarne. Almost 75 of the whch had contnued to use butter only durng the war also were usng butter only n Of the whch shfted to the use of both butter and margarne durng the war, almost 5 were usng both n1952, but 4 had shfted back to the use of butter only. Consderng only the net changes between the prewar perod and 1952, of the 73 consumng butter only durng the prewar perod, contnued to use butter only or had shfted back to butter only, 27 had shfted to the use of both butter and margarne, and the remanng small proporton had shfted to the use of margarne alone.

8 14 STATON BULLETN 417 Responses to Changes n Prce The decson to buy butter only, margarne only, or both, depends n part on famly tradton, psychologcal nfluences, prce dfferentals, and prce level of butter. From evdence obtaned durng the survey, t appeared that most consumers were more aware of the prce level of butter than of the prce dfferental between butter and margarne. n order to obtan nformaton on possble changes n consumpton pattern accompanyng specfed changes n butter prces, each housewfe was asked two questons, the responses to whch are tabulated n tables 1, 17, and 18. USERS OF BUTTER ONLY The prce of butter at the tme of the survey averaged 82 cents per pound. Table 1 gves the responses of the users of butter only to these questons: 1.

Only 1 of ths group of users sad they would change over solely to butter f the prce declned to cents. Almost sad they never would confne ther purchases to butter only t was evdent that many consumers have suffcent ncome or such a hgh order of preference for butter that they would not change ther tradtonal consumpton pattern even though butter prces rose to hgh levels. However, ths does not mean, partcularly among of lower ncomes, that the same amount of butter would be consumed. Also, the concluson was warranted that once margarne became part of the establshed consumpton pattern a strong resstance developed to restrctng consumpton to butter only. A more nformatve type of response mght have been obtaned f the questons had been based on prce dfferentals. Questons dealng wth prce dfferentals were ncluded; however, the responses ndcated that such questons led to confuson on the part of the housewfe so that adequate response could not be obtaned. USERS OF MARGARNE ONLY Table 18 gves the responses of users of margarne only to the questons: 1. At what prce of butter would you buy some butter? 2. At what prce of butter would you buy butter only? Forty of the users responded that they would purchase some butter f the prce declned to cents. More Other Comments on Use About 72 of the housewves reportng famly use of margarne were able to dentfy the composton of ther purchases, that s, whether the margarne conssted prmarly of anmal fats or vegetable ols. Only 24 were aware of the current prce dffer enta! between the two types, and only 4 specfed the 1cent tax on margarne contanng less than per cent anmal fat as the reason for the prce dfferental. Twentythree of the usng margarne mxed the latter wth

Almost 8 of the colored the margarne; 2 re ported they would buy more margarne f t were colored; and 33 re. ported they would pay more for colored margarne. Conclusons Before World War, consumer buyng habts were characterzed by preference for butter and strong resstance to the purchase of margarne. The marked changes snce then n the consumpton pattern were ntated because of condtons exstng durng the war and have contnued because of the hgh prces of butter relatve to those of margarne and the mprovement n the qualty of margarne. About 39 of the ncluded n ths study used margarne n A smlar study n 1938 revealed that only 4 of the used ths product. The marked change n these proportons was strong evdence that resstance to margarne has weakened. Also, once margarne was ftted nto the consumpton pattern the chances were about even that ts use would contnue as long as butter and margarne prce relatonshps remaned about the same. There were many, however, who preferred to buy butter only and would contnue to do so even though the prce of butter was relatvely hgh. There were also who would not shft back completely from margarne to butter even t.hough the prce of butter were to declne sharply. n the case of most the decson to buy one or the other product rested largely upon the prce level of butter, or the prce dfferental between butter and margarne. Famles wth hgher ncomes used more butter and less margarne per con. sumng unt on the average than wth lower ncomes. The dfferences n the average consumpton rates, how. ever, were due manly to the ncrease n the proporton of usng but. ter and the decrease n the proporton of usng margarne. A declne n the prce of butter very lkely would result n an ncrease n the proporton of purchasng butter only and, n partcular, those wth lower ncomes. and margarne prces dd not change much n 1952 or early f butter prce remaned at levels prevalng durng the forepart of 1953, there would be lttle prospect for an easng of the compettve stuaton. n fact, t s generally beleved that the stuaton has become more ntensfed. Further, the stuaton would become even more so, should the general level of consumer ncomes drop and butter prces reman at government support levels. The proporton of purchasng margarne has been nfluenced by state laws whch prohbt the sale of colored margarne and whch levy a tax of 1 cents a pound on all margarne sold whch contans less than anmal fat. The repeal of ether of these laws would further enhance the market poston of margarne. Austn A. Dou Robert E. Olso.,1/CS UNVRSTY OF MNNSOTA
