NEW FARM PEAK
PRED|CTEDFOR 81
Cash Income for First Part
Of Year Is Highest
Since 1880.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Government experts who keep an
eye on the farmers purse and its buy
ing power predicted today that 1887
may set new peak in agricultural
recovery.
The economists based their fore
cast on these trends:
!. Cash income of farmers the first
part of this year has been the largest
since 1880 and may approach $4,O00,-
100000 for the first six months.
2. The ratio Of prices received by
farmers to prices which they must pay
has been most favorable since 1925.
3. Demand for farm products has
kept step with the advancing pace of
business and industry.
4. There probably are fewer per-
sons on farms to share these advances.
Population Fluctuations.
Experts on agriculture and popula-
ton pointed out the number of persons
on farms decreases when times are
good and increases during a depres-
sion. More farm boys and girls leave
for jobs in towns and cities when
urban employment increases, they ex-
planned.
Census tables of recent years reflect
this trend. The farm population de-
clined from about 100000 in 1910
to 30,0000o0 in 1880, despite the fact
that the birth rate on farms is much
higher than in cities.
Elop, 1OoO 1noc
farm population increased more than
100000
Gains in dollar volume of farm in
comes are reported by monthly tabu-
latlons of the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics. 1t said cash fam in
come the first four months of 1887
at 50 604 100000 was q per cent. or
1854 000,00 above last year and was
the highest since 1890.
Prices Advance Rapidly.
The economists said prices received
by farmers for corn, wheat, cotton,
live stock and other major products
had advanced more rapidly from low
points OF the depression than prices
OF the things the farmer must buy
rent. interest, taxes. farm wages and
other overhead or farm production
COSTS
The price levels of the pre-war Pc
riod of l909-1914 are used by the
economists as a standard for their
studies. In 1882, they said, the gen.
eral level of prices received by farm
ers was 80 per cent below the price
'2evel OF things the farmer must buy.
This unfavorable relationship was
reduced to 8 per cent last year, they
said, and has averaged less than 3
per cent this year, the MOST favorable
ratio since 1925.

1T will work out all right" the
Governor commented today when in
formed that attempts in Washing
ton to arrange for negotiations be-
tween General Motors and the union
apparently had failed again. Earlier
he had said:
II have plans which could not
put into effect while Federal con-
ferences are in progress. If don't
get good news from Washington I will
be prepared to act Immediately"
He declined today to discuss his
plans and indicated that he expected
Secretary of Labor Perkins to con-
tinue her endeavors to compose the
differences betwn the two groups
There were reports in labor circles,
however, that Gov. Murphy might
issue subpoenas for leaders Of both
partment OF Labor at hearing to be
conducted by the Governor. This ac-
ton would be similar to a request by
Miss Perkins, who asked Congress for
power Of the Federal Government to
conduct such hearing.
Court Appeal Held Proper.
"The courts offer one peaceful
method Of settlement" Murphy said.
Another Is a conference. General
Motors appeal to the courts is en-
tirely proper"
He referred to the Injunction the
corporation is seeking in the Genesee
County Circuit Court at Flint, Mich.
to eject "sit down" strikers from two
Fisher body plans. A hearing on the
petition will be held Monday.
Sheriff Thomas w. Wolcott said at

NEW YORK. January 30.-Capt.
Edgar A. Chelton. dark-haired. 40
year-old skipper Of the Clyde NAL
lory liner Shawnee, wiped his brow
early today and sighed, I'VE had q

On the pier alongside, 100 passen-

anxious friends and relatives who
had followed reports Of fire aboard
the vessel yesterday as the liner
came up the Atlantic Coast from

None was dead and none reported

Capt Chelton told q story Of con-
quest by a steel ship and modern
maritime equipment over q raging
fire in the forward hold and angry
seas that swept over the bow and
sides In q 65-mile-an-hour gale.
The weather was so bad most pas
sengers were seasick; few left their
staterooms; none could be found who
had seen either smoke or fire.
