...Dairy prices have gone up 6.5% in recent months, but a decline soon is almost assured because milk production is rising; butter and milk prices are beginning to slide at the wholesale level. Bountiful supplies are also depressing poultry prices. By late summer, say economists, the cost of pork should tumble as more of the big crop of hogs farrowed last winter comes to market. Canners' and distributors' stocks of most fruits and vegetables are large, and in some cases they are selling to retailers more cheaply than at any time since the fall...
Gerald Ford is playing the jolly Santa Claus, like any other incumbent who wishes to stay in office for some more presidential Christmases. As shrewdly and crudely as Lyndon Johnson or Richard Nixon ever did, he is doling out patronage and pork to goad, frighten and lead Republicans to support...

Parents are back in style in three books of poems for the young. John Lawrence's Rabbit & Pork: Rhyming Talk (Crowell; $6.95) revives the old cockney custom of jingling euphemisms: "Johnny Homer" to mean corner. By means of fine-lined wood engravings, Lawrence invests each miniverse with whimsy and bite (from "Inky Smudge": Judge, to "Noah's Ark": Park); his pageant of animals educates almost as much as it amuses. Perhaps the most diverting beast of the season is the dragon of Magic in the Mist (Atheneum; $4.95). Margaret Mary Kimmel's happy reptile-illustrated by Trina...
