That's for t he long haul. The nation's business ejoyed a surprise boom in 1955. Bui farm prices fell amout 5 per cent from 1951 to 1955 and John Fanu-h- e er's realized net income was down about It) per cent. The drop from 1955 to 1956 is exuected to be somewhat less. Graphs below show the record of key factors in the farmers' plight. 1955 HTHE High costs, low prices tell the sad story. SQUEEZE Farmers' net realized income dropped again in 1955. 28 per cent below 1951, when the downward trend started. Forecast for 1956 ts that the trend will continue. I Hit, 1950 1940 1930 1920 1910 Farmers have not shared the boom prosrecent years. As chart shows, generally, when national income has gone up, farm income rose with it. But this "rule was broken along about 1949 when national income started its steadily zoom upward. As it id, farm income dropped sharply, has been dropping ever since except for the slight rise during Korean war. BOOM FOR MOST perity of UNDER PRICE SUPPORT WHEAT COTTON CORN MIL. BU.

Large carryover stocks from precious years swell the total supply, enhancing that ole debbil surplus. Stocks of wheat and corn are expected to rise further during the 1955-5- 6 season, but at a glower rate. In 1955 cotton gave exceptionally high yield per acre, so cotton stocks will rise sharply. Food fst stocks dropped in 35 and are expected to decline further. 1951 1952 1953 1954 1955 MARKETING MARGIN" There's a big spread between what food costs the consumer and what the farmer gets for it. That difference is called "Marketing margin" the expense of marketing. processing and transportation As chart shows, such charges have increased steadily in the las! few years. Based on a market basket of farm foods such as was bought by city families in 1952, 59 cents of the consumer's dollar went for market margins in 1955, only 41 cents to the farmer. And the market margin outlook for 1956 is upward MIL ed 1947 1950 1953 1956 RECORD OUTPUT Crop and livestock output reached record levels in 1955. Forecast: These heavy supplies will continue to depress farm markets in 1956. Crop production, 1955, was at 1948 peak. Much of this will be sold in 1956. Total crop output in 1956 is likely to be high again. Large numbers of livestock and big supplies of feed at lower prices assure continued heavy output of livestock products in 1956. millions rs THOUSANDS OF OTHER 740 THOUSANDS COMBINES 10- THOUSANDS MECH.
