HIGHEST FOR SIX YEARS

FARMING INCOME IN AMERICA GOOD PRICES AND SHORT CROPS United Press Association—By E’-‘w'* r ic Telegraph Copyright (Received December 20, 6.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, December 19. WASHINGTON, December 19. The Crop Reporting Board has announced the shortest supplies of farm products of any recent year, combined with the highest average prices, since 1929, caused the 1936 gross farm income to reach 9,530,000,000 dollars, the highest total for six years. Field crops yielded 3,870,000,000 dollars and live stock 5,180,000,000 dollars. The farmers received an additional 480,000,000 dollars, in payment for cooperating with the Government in its soil conservation programme. It is explained that due to drought, the wheat production was 27 per cent, below the average period between 1928 and 1932.
