nual forecasts on what 1858 holds
for farmers.
They have been doing that for
almost 20 years at the US. De-
partment of Agriculture's annual
Outlook Conference. and their
forecasts have turned out to be
remarkably accurate.
The consensus of those who have
prepared advance reports for the
Conference is that next year will
be very little different from 1857.
Net farm income this year is
estimated at $12 billion, about
5000 million over 1856, and for
1858 the forecast is for another
small increase of about the same
size as this year.
The price trend generally is
expected to be downward dur
ing the first half of the year, with
a recovery starting sometime dur
ing the summer. This follows
rather closely the forecast for buSi-
ness.
AS was the case this year, all
of the increase in net income is ex-
pected to result from increased
payment for idling land under the
Soil Bank program. Payments in
1858 may total about $500 million.
The forecaSters think the price
tag on things farmers buy, such
as machinery, fertilizer, gasoline
and building materials, will be
marked up again III 1858, by an
average Of or 5 per cent.
farm labor costs nave more than
loubled since the end of World
Var II, and the economists pre-
iict still another increase in 1853.
More money will be going into
farmers pockets, but they also viii
De spending more to keep their
farms in operation" says USDA
;hief economist 0. v Wells.
The principle soft spots" which
the economists look for in farming
next year are feed grains and
hogs. Feed prices will be lower
throughout the year and hog
prices will drop sharply next fall,
they think.
We have on hand the largest
supply of feed grains on record,
and farmers are expected to raise
a near-record number of hogs for
market in the latter part of 1858.
Dairymen, the forecasters say,
probably will be better off in 1853
than they have been this year.
Milk prices are expected to aver
age at least as high as this year,
but feeding costs will be lower.
The recent upward trend in
poultry and egg prices is expected
to continue at least until next
spring. The higher prices, how
ever, may induce poultrymen to
expand production and that would
bring on lower prices after next
June.
The situation as it affects pro-
ducerS of wheat, cotton, fruits and
vegetables looks to be about the
same as this year, at least I'M
til the size Of 1858 production be-
comes known.
The one thing the economists
shy away from as if 1t were the
plague is politics. Their predic-
tions are based on the assumption
that Congress won't change farm
laws and that the Department will
not change support rates.

TWO BYRDS

Senator Harry F. Byrd comes
by his financial know-how quite
naturally-he inherited it from
his Dad. Read what his father,
speaker Byrd of the Virginia leg
islature, prophesied forty-five
years ago as to what would hap
pen if the citizens of this country
voted for the 18th Amendment
(Income Tax:
"A hand from Washington will
be stretched out and placed upon
every mans business; the eye of
a federal inspector will be in
every mans counting house.
"An army of federal inspectors,
spies and detectives will descend
upon the state. They will compel
men of business to show their
books and to disclose the secrets
of their affairs. They will dictate
forms of bookkeeping by which
men must keep an account of
their earnings.
when the federal government
gets strangle hold upon the in
dividual businessman, state lines
will exist nowhere except upon
the maps. It's agents will every
where supervise the commercial
life of the states"
Senator Bryd's dad certainly
called the shot. Well, we didn't
heed his warning-and look at
the mess we are in. Perhaps it
might be well this time to heed
his son.

special exemption rule, Mr..
LOCKER explained, applies to
children who will still be under

the year and to children who
are full-time students, regardless

Exemption may be claimed by
the parents if they contribute
more than half the child's sup

earned by the child. This new
law was passed by Congress in
1854, Mr.. LOCKER explained. Prior
to 1854, no person earning 5000
or more could be claimed as a
dependent by another taxpayer
Inquiries received, however, in
dicate that many who are en-
titled to this benefit are not
aware of it. And some parents
continue to have their dependent

"STICK-UP"

AS this piece is being written,
| have before me a table giving
the actual figures that the peo-
pie of the various States have
been forced to contribute in
taxes to build and maintain the
taX-free Tennessee Valley Auth
ority.
Of peculiar and particular in
terest to me is the amount that
has been mulcted from the tax
payers Of my own State, Florida.
We Floridians have donated S27. S
million to make it possible for
the Federal Government to sell
cheap" electricity to the people
of the Tennessee Valley.
Space here does not permit cit
ing the figures for all the States,
but here are a few: The taxpay-
erS of New York have contribut-
ed $500 million, CALIFORNIA; have
been penalized to the tune of
$170.5 million, and even sparsely
populated Nevada has been
"nicked" for $2.7 million.
The IVA has been proclaimed
by the public power fanatics as
a "yard-stick." For once they are
right - but it boomeranged On
them - the "yard-stick" proves
that Federal Government has de
veloped no magic formula 70
