Farm Income
Drops Lower in
Past Two Years
Pennsylvania's farm cash in
ciome has declined nearly ten per
■cent in -the past two years, Dr
■William L. Hennings state secre
tary of agriculture, told the Pen
nsylvania Grocers Association,
meeting in Harrisburg last week
Farm receipts the first eisfht
(months of 1955 are falling
a miPion dollars under the com
parable 1954 period
But, the Secretary added, “the
farmer is due for a better break,
ihe is looking for his rightful
share of any prosperity, that is
being passed around, and when
he gets it, the entire comimuni’v,
county, state and nation" will
benefit ”
“'Our Pennsylvania farmers,”
Dr Henning *itold earlier, “are
feeling the effects of this down
ward trend m income In the
United States last year the per
capita income of farm people
averaged $9lB as compar
ed with $1,836 for nonfarmers ”
More good and services will be
labailahle the farmer when farm
income gets into better balance
inia
\ itlh. industrial income, he added.
“Farmers are still in the cost
rnce squeeze, they are getting
1 nly 40 cents of the consumer's
market basket dollar today,” the
I lecretary advised, and the so
i- illed “small” fanner is hardest
hit.
