Department Of Agricul-
ture Reveals Figures
For 1854 In Recent
Washington Release.

Delaware's net farm income for
1854 totaled S17.000,00O, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture revealed
this week.
The department coupled its re-
lease of the figures with a warning
that American farmers will suffer
an overall drop in income this year
and a further drop in 1856.
However, Agriculture Secretary
Ezra T. Benson later in the day
said the abnormal condition" Of
declining farm income in the face
of a general economic boom has
about run its course.
In a carefully-Worded statement,
Benson said, HsOme Improvement
in prices Of a number of farm
commodities can be expected in
the year ahead" He did not specify
the c0mm0diftes he had in mind.
The departments figures on in
comes showed a 1854 net farm in
come of $50, 400,0O0 for Maryland
which, like Delaware, is in the
South Atlantic Region bracket, and
totals of sos, 100000 and $187, 3OO,-
600 respectively for New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, in the North
Atlantic Region division.
This forecast of falling income
reinforcing earlier department esti-
mates, spelled more bad news fol
Republican politicians who fear the
farm price barometer may be re
fected in farmer votes in the 1851
presidential election.
Secretary Benson has announced
he will submit new five-pOint
farm plan to Congress next veal
aimed at easing the cost-prict
squeeze on the nations farmers.
The newest farm income predic
ton was contained in the Decem
Der issue of the departments peri
