NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
GOOD NEWS

The Duke Power coinpany's announcement that
it will spend $4,000 600 to increase by $4,000
horsepower the productive capacity of its River
bend steam plant is perhaps the most sangulne
piece of business news that has come down the pike
in many a day. Following, as it does, by only
few hours the fourth in series of rate reductions
the projected expansion indicates quite clearly that
the company has confidence in the growth of the
industrial section it serves and confidence as well
that it will be permitted to serve that section. I'M

/ 1t is to be hoped that the company is right IN
both instances. Industrially, its territory in the
Carolinas is growing apace already and will, we be-
lieve, continue to grow at a much faster rate. AS
for U. S. competition, that depends largely on the
courts and congress. Certainly the Duke Power and
all other companies producing electricity cannot be
expected to undertake expansion programs so long
as congress appropriates, with the courts approval
great sums of money for electric power plants such
as iva and the proposed Santee-Cooper project IN
South Carolina. And of course, once the federal
government goes all the way into the power busi-
ness the next logical step is for it to so into IN
dustry in general so as to create sufficient mar
ket for the power it overproduces. That is pros
peet which does not appeal to us.-Charlotte News

FARMERS 1886 INCOME
MORE THAN TRIPLED
Figure of $780, 900 Is
Highest in Six Years;
Net $4,538, 100000

The report issued several days ago by
the Department of Agriculture showing
gross farm income during the calendar
year 1885 was $S,5O0O00,0O0, the high
est in six years, revealed that in view
of the slow increase in production costs,
the return to farmers last year was
over three times as large as in 1882.
Although the $S,500,OO0,OO0 of last
year was more than a billion sholt of
the $11, 941, 100000 gross income of 1929
it represented real farm income" of
two per cent. above 1929, ALLOWING for
the differnce in the level of prices paid
by farmers for commodities" The gross
1885 income was IL per cent. above the
$7,276,OOO,OOO of 1884 and SO per cent.
above the $5,337 100000 of 1882. Last
years total included $6,703,00O,000 cash
income from sale of crops and livestock
81, 307 100000 estimated value of pro-
duets raised and consumed on farms
and $49S, 100000 cash received from
various Federal farm benefit programs.
Costs to produce in 1885 were esti-
mated at $3,97O,OOO,O00 including taxes
wages of hired labor, rent, interest, de-
probation on buildings and equipment
and commodities used in production,
leaving net return to farmers of $4,-
53S,0OO,OOO for their labor, capital and
management and the unpaid labor of
their families. This was the highest
return since 1929, and while the gross
income in 1885 was IL per cent. higher
than in 1884, the increase in the net
income during the one year was 81 per
cent.
