best one in quite a while. accord

incomes.
The steady drop was halted. at
least temporarily and definite
gain recorded Gross revenues rose
3.5 per cent
The story is told in a detailed
study made by the Standard Rate

income Of every county in the
nation.
The gain is attributed to larger
marketings, rejecting gre d t er
food consumption. to somewhat
higher prices and to Government
payments.

In the State Of Virginia there was

Offsetting some of this gain
unfortunately, was the fact that
farm operating costs rose also in
the period. According to the Agri-
culture Department, the increased
costs ate away about half of the

Land Values Up
Despite the sag in the nations

value Of farm land has been going

due to the competition for land
