SHOWS
1920 WAS HARD
upon FARMERS
Income Declared to Have Been Less
In That Period Than Any Other
Part Of Decade.

New York, Feb. 24.-The Ameri-
can farmer, who rose to unprece-
denied heights OF prosperity in 1918
and 1919, earned less in 1920 than
he has earned in any year of the
last 10, If his income is reckoned
in dollars having the same purchas-
ing power as in 1913, according to
estimates made public today by the
national bureau of economic re-
search.
Reckoned in actual dollars paid
to him in 1920, the farmers income,
as shown by the report, was less
than in the three previous years;
but was greater than in. the seven
years from 1910 to 1916 inclusive.
The figures. taken from a detail
ed report of an exhaustive, ma
tion-wide survey, showed that the
country's 6,450, 900 farmers. in 1920.
earned approximately $7,200,000.00O
"a drop OF SO, $50, 900, 900 from their
income for the year before.
The farmers, who represent
about 16 per cent of the gainfully
employed, have received during the
past decade share in the total ma
tional income varying between 1913
per cent in 1911 and ia in 1917
and 1918, until 1920, when it drop
ped to 1913 per cent.
The farmers share, in billions of
dollars and per cent of the total,
is estimated by the bureau to have
been in each year beginning with
1910, as follows:
