The farmer is a good deal better off
economically than he was a year ago. Ag-
riculture Department figures show that
farm income rose last year to fully $1,000
900, 600, with farm purchasing power ris-
ing to so per cent Of the pre-war level. as
compared with So per cent in 1888.
Benefit payments by the AAA ran to a
little more than $780, 0O, 900 for the year.
This indicates that the cumbersome and
occasionally irritating AAA scheme work
ed out rather better than some Of us ex-
pected. In fact, it leads one to suspect
that this program has done about all that
it can do, and that further advances for the
farmer must come from a revival of indus
trial activity and a recovery Of our foreign
markets.
Agriculture, in other words, has been
abundantly stimulated; it must take its
pace, now, from the national revival as a
whole.
