FARM INCOME IN OHIO DURING
/ 1850 EXPECTED TO HIT BILLION

December, 1850, finds Ohio
farmers taking in about billion
dollars from sales of farm prod
uctS during the year. Crops used
on the farm would run the total
value considerably above bill
lion.
Farm income for 1850 will not
be totaled up completely until
some time after the year is over.
1t is expected, however, to be
about the same as for 1949 when
1t amounted to 1858, ,557 300, in
Guiding $4,121,3 300 in government
payments.
These figures appear in Bulle-
tin No. 220 of the Department of
Agricultural Economics and Rural
Sociology, Ohio State University,
and Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station. They were compiled by
r. B. Schwart and ]. l. Falconer.
DR.. Falconer, chairman of the
department, gave cautious fore
cast for 1850 to the Ohio De-
velopment and Publicity Commits.
sion.
"Sales for January through
July were $489 million dollars this
year as compared with $517 mil
lions for the corresponding period
in 1949," stated DR.. Falconer.
Increases since July make it
look as, if the 1850 total will be
about as much as for 1949."
Dairying continues to be the
big farming enterprise in Ohio.
The 232,977 900 in sales of dairy
products was 24.35 per cent of the
total, and dairying was the first
source of farm income in 49 of
88 counties, the second source in
Is.
Hog raising comes next as a
source of Ohio farm income, with
the sales of $2O1, ,815,OOO or 21.09
per cent. Hogs ranked first as a
