INCREASE IN FARM
INCOME EXPECTED
Department OF Agriculture
Experts Anticipate Climb
In Revenues

RALEIGH, Nov. 24-U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture econom-
lists expect farm incomes to be
larger in 1871 than in 1910. H. w.
Taylor, extension marketing spec
ialist of N. c. State college, said
today. He announced receipt of a
statement to this effect from DR..
F. L. Thomson, principal agricul-
tural economist of the U. S. Blu
reau of Agricultural Economics.
Or. Thomson said." Taylor
stated, that the export outlook is
poor but that prices of farm pro-
ducts largely consumed in do
nestle markets are expected to
show considerable Improvement as
a result of increased consumer
purchasing power. This is especial
ly true of livestock"
Continuing to quote from DR..
Thomsen's statement, Taylor said:
Hog prices are expected to be
materially higher in 1941 than ii
1910, even though little if any i'm
provement is expected in expor'
demand. Prices of cattle and cave!
arc expected to be supported
by a stronger consumer demand
for meats. Lamb prices also may
be a little higher in 1941.
smaller supplies in the first
part Of the year r expected tc
result in better poultry prices,
Cash income from chickens and
eggs may be larger in 1941 than ir
either 1889 or 1910. The income
from livestock and livestock pro
ducts is likely to increase more
than the income from crops"
Discussing the other side of the
picture, the B. A. E. leader said:
THE expected rise in prices and
farm income in 1941 will be partly
offset by higher production costs.
Prices of some farm machinery,
automobiles and building mate
rails probably will advance in 1941
and fertilizer prices are expected
to be higher. However, farmers
will have a more prosperous year
even though production costs will
rise"

neighbors that it pays to grow
lespedeza for hay. says Farm
Agent Hugh Overstreet.
On a two-acre field that was
seeded to oats a year ago this

February. The oats made a good
crop of hay, so Mr.. Winberry de-

lespedeza hay yields.
Last week when the hay from
the two acres was baled and
weighed, it was found that the
field produced 1870 pounds.
Mr.. Winberry said that for the
amount invested, this two-acre
