FARM mi NONFARM


While all are aware of the
fact that salaries and wages
generally have taken a decided
rise over the nerioi of the war
years, il is a bit startling to
realize that since 1910 the in
come of farmers. and others
living on farms. has increased
218 percent. The net average
income per person for the farm
er was $4,000 annually in
1910. as compared with $4,000
in 1947.
This, of course, is quite a per
centage increase-and a much
deserved one. And while farm
operating costs have risen rap
idly, the farmer still has many
more dollars left over for spend
ing that he did before the war.
The rise in farm income Is
largely due to increased output
and the rise in prices Of farm
products. Wheat. for example.
sold for IS cents a bushel in
1910; recently sold for So 90 a
bushel; and is now selling for
$3.50. Too, a sharp decline in
the number of persons who
share farm incomes also helps
to account for this rapid rise
in per capita farm incomes.
Our rural population has drop
ped 10 percent since 1910, while
city population has increased
IA percent since that time.
By comparison. the income OF
nonfarmers, or all persons not
living on farms, has risen 90
percent. The average net in
come of this group was S697.00
in 1910, as compared with ST.
$4,000 now. This increase is ex-
planned by the higher wage
rates and a longer work week.
While living standards for
both city and farm people are

they are not as high as the wage
increases would indicate due
to the high cost of living. As
we have all found out. dollars
TO-DAY buy much less than thef
did a few years ago. Stats.
tics show that living costs have
risen faster on farms than in
cities and that prices pad b.
farmers for food and clothing
are up 1875 percent over 1910,
compared with > city consumer
increase of SO percent for food
an 90 percent for clothing
An end to high prices might
mean different things for farm
and city residents. Some city
incomes would shrink, OF course,
with wage cuts and a shorter
work week, but most wages
would remain relatively high.
The farm people. on the other
hand, would see any price de
e'ines reflected in generally
falling incomes.
How's Business?
Since the prosperity of our
'aboring and management
groups are so closely aligned in
this nations economic set-up.
it might be interesting TO point
out n brief the status of bust
ness as compared to that of
the laboring groups mentioned
above. The Department of Com
merce, Federal Reserve Board,
and other government agencies
have agreed that while. by pre-
war standards, business still is
excellent the steady expansion
of business for more than a year
has halted. Business is still
good. but is not picking up.
During the past two months the
sale Of durable goods rose, but
sale of luxuries fell; while the
overall cost OF living remained
more or less stationary. Sales

Commander do Costa

RoturY Speaker

Commander Moacyr Rodrigues
da Costa, president of the Bra
lillian Shipbuilding Commission
and representative of LLOYD Bra
%sileriro, was the principal speak
er at yesterdays meeting of the
Moss Point Rotary Club at the
Community House.
Commander da Costa said that
the United States and Brazil have
been good friends for many years
and pointed out that his coun-
try is called The United States
of Brazil" in South America.
He called for a better under
standing between the Brazilfans
and citizens of the United States
and said that he believed the
countries were being drawn clos
er together each day. He pointed
out that they had stood together
in war and peace and that Bra
I'll was developed along the same
lines as the United States.
The meeting was presided over
by Edward A. Khayat and Jack
Turner introduced the speaker.
Visiting Rotarians were E. A.
Talbot, Homer Miller, c. R.
Hare and E. r. Hammett of
Pascagoula and the Rev. r. l..
Walton of Poplarville, a former
member. T. Barton West was a
visitor of the club and Leland

ing in all groups-from conSu-
mer to retailer, from retailer

Factory employment has de-
creased recently and shipment

During the war years when
commodities were scarce and
wages were high the nations
individual savings accounts
reached a new peak. Now that
more commodities are on the
market, these savings accounts
are being dipped into and are
now about down to prewar lev
els about 10 percent OF the dis
possible income. And even
though wage and salary pay
ments continue to be higher
than they were in 1916, these
dollars buy less and at present
prices MANY families cannot sat
isfy all of their needs.

ed out, the change from a war
