FARM INCOME IN U.S.A.
5 HIGHEST FOR SIX YEARS
WASHINGTON, December 19.
The Crop Reporting Board has announced that the shortest supplies of farm products in any recent year, combined with the highest average prices since 1929, caused the 1936 gross farm income to reach 9,530,0()0,000 dollars, the highest total for six years. Field crops yielded 3,870,000,000 dollars, and live-stock, 5,180,000,000 dollars. Farmers received an additional 480,000,000 dollars in payment for cooperating in the Government soil conservation programme. It is explained that because of the drought, wheat production was 27 per cent., below the average for the period 1928 to 1932.
