WASHINGTON (AP)—Ameri-
can housewives will be paying
two to three per cent More for
groceries by this summer, the
Agriculture Department pre-
dicted today.
The anticipated hike in retail
food prices is expected to wipe
out a decline of nearly one per
cent during the first three
months of the year, then ad-
vance another one or two per
cent on top of that.
For the year as a whole, the
department forecasts an aver-
age jump of about 1.7 per cent
in food costs above last year.
Primarily because of the
projected price hikes, consum-
ers, are expected to spend about

food during the first quarter of
the year, the lowest of record.

Items expected to rise later in
the year besides meats include
eggs, poultry and possibly some
dairy products. Items expected
to continue near present levels
include citrus products, canned
fruits, processed vegetables,
