Additional Description

I think our problem is today that we can't produce 30 cent eggs on four and a half and five dollar seed. That seed is too high for the price that we're getting for our eggs. You think that there's something that could be done to get it more economical on a more economical basis? John F. Kennedy goes to the people to know their problems. Here he answers Roy K., farmer of Cabell County. The farmer's income has dropped nearly 15% in the last 12 months and his cost of doing business has gone up about 10%. The same thing you have with your feed. That gives him a total loss in his position of almost 25%. Now if this continues, it's going to affect our entire economy. I would say that the first and most important task, really domestically on the desk of the next president, will be an attempt to arrest the decline. It's up to you. Vote Kennedy for president, May 10th.
