shouldn't grumble, because the

Poultrynen To Talk
War On New Disease
CONTINUED from nrst pagso

New Castle first was found in
Delaware in 1945 and since that
time has grown to almost epidemic
proportions in Delaware poultry
focks.
Mortality from the disease ranges
from 190 to 65% depending upon the
age and general health of the flocks
infected.
While New Castle Disease in no
way prevents a danger to the con-
sumers of poultry meat; because
there is no known chicken disease
that can be spread to the human
race the disease is resulting in a
great economic loss to every seq
ment of the industry interested in
the production of broiler or eggs.
Therefore, the Laurel Local of the
Delaware Poultry Improvement AS
sociation in cooperation with the
Delaware Extension Service, is
making this International meeting

Farm Earnings
Reach New Peak
l947 Total Income Higher
Than AnY Similar Period
In Country's S History.

WASHINGTON-Trends so far in
1947 indicate the year may bring the
highest annual farm earnings in
history, according to officials who
worked on the reports. They say the
American farmer is taking in more
money than ever before, despite
mounting production costs.
In a survey prepared by the de-
partment of agriculture it was esti-
mated that total cash receipts for
farmers during the first eight
months of l947 reached ia billion
dolIars-a 81 per cent gain over the
same period Of 1946. a record year.
Great Gross Income.
Between January / and the end Of
August, the report showed, agricul-
ture> as an industry had greater
gross income than in any CORE
spending period in history.
But the higher income is not all
clear gain for the farmer. the report
added. His operating costs are con-
tinuing to increase. In 1946. the ex-
penses Of operating farms went up
8 per cent. No estimate was made
for 1s47 expenses.
'sThe average farm operator real
lied a net income Of $2,54l from
agriculture and government pay
ments in 1885," after the payment
Of taxes and other expenses, the re.
port salt. This was 10 per cent more
than in 1915.
The farm payments program ex-
pired June 80 this year.
Farmer income slyrocketed this
year because OF continuing unprece'
dented demands for his products
the report showed.
Eating More Meat.
The American consumer, for in
stance. is eating more meat pei
capita than he has since 1911. Also
he has more money.
Most of the farmers income gain
the report observed, could be at
tributed to IAN increase of "a PEI
cent in prices"
One authority on livestock de
scribed the situation this way:
Consumers, with more none,
than ever before, are demanding
more meat. This has kept mea
prices up.
| Consequently. livestock product
which include meat, meat prod
ucts. dairy and poultry -accounte
for 1913 billion dollars in farm ir
come during the first eight month
Of 1947-an increase of 80 per Ger
over the 1916 period.
The report said that wheat wen
into the market in 'unprecedente
volume" and at unusually hig
prices"
One authority said that the expor
demand was the primary factor
keeping wheat prices at top Level
this year.
He said European grain felc
were wrecked by the war and El
rope suffered from unfavorabI
growing conditions.
