Outlook Bright
For Farmers I'm
1886 Indicated

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. U.P)-
Brighter days for farmers in 1886
were forecast today by the agricul-
tural department in its annual farm
outlook report which predicted rural
income will be the best since 1929
with increased demand for farm
goods over last year
Cash income was estimated at
S6,8000OO0OO for 1885. SO per cent
increase from the low in 1882.
A marked advance in livestock
prices accompanied by larger crops
was considered responsible. Chief
gains were in the North Central
states, with moderate improvement
IL others.
Consumer buying power in the
United States and many foreign
countries is likely to increase next
year, the report said, attributing
the domestic Improvement to re-
neWed industrial activity.
Farmers were warned, however,
that "an increase in crop produc-
tions would tend to check the ad-
vance in prices that might other
wise be expected to result from i'm
proved consumer buying power"
