Many Farmers Seek
Part-Tirne Jobs

AS fewer farms are required
to provide food and fiber, many
farm operators will be forced
to seek nonfarm employment.
Many will prefer to live on the
farm and work In local indus
tries rather than move to cities.
According to DR.. William NJ.
Crosswhtte, assistant professor
of agricultural economics at the
University of Delaware, this
trend is already becoming ap-
parent, with As percent of all
farmers working away from
their farms and part-time farms
making up 80 percent Of all
farms In 1868. More than one
third of the dispcSable income
of farm families In 1868 was
non-farm income.

Johnson may accomplish far
more conStructively before Nov.
1864 than our late President
would have been able to do.
President Johnson understands
better how to handle Congress,
and has the confidence of busi-
nessmen. Therefore, l am re-
assured as to the first ten
months of 1864.
2. LECTION IN NOV.
At the Republican Convention in
the summer Of 1854, there will
be a conflict between Goldwater
and Rockefeller, and perhaps
others. For this reason, Mr..
Nixon may slip in and get the
Republican nomination. Certainly
President Johnson will secure
the nomination of the Democratic
Party; he is farsighted man,
and knows politics. Therefore,
with the Republicans nominating
any one of the three leading
names mentioned above, I now
forecast that President Johnson
will be elected President of the
United States in November 1864.
All of this gives me more as
surance that 1864 should be a
good year.
8. TAX CUT. A tax cut will
be enacted sometime during the
coming session of Congress; and
it will surely be made retro
active to January /, 1864. The
tax cut should help consumer
buying; it may even increase
general business.
