Farm Buying Power Still Shows Gains Increase Well Above Cost of Living Rate ? The current drop In living costs has given the average city wage-earnthe same approximately buying power today that he enjoyed in June, 1946, final month of OPA. Though the farmers buying power has edged off with the drop in food prices it is bumping against government pried supports, and still shows a gain that is well over double the increase In the cost of living, according to a chart study of our war boom, made by the family economics bureau of Northwestern National Life Insurance company. Ten years ago last winter you could buy a new four-doo- r sedan for $825, sirloin steak was 39 cents a pound, milk averaged 12 cents a quart, and you could build a modern house for around $3,000 but we had 10 million unemployed.

In January, 1939, America had 10 million unemployed and 44 million at work. Annual net income per farm was $702. Industrial wages averaged $24 a week, an annual rate of 1,248. from a depression, the study recalls. After an even 10 years of recovery, boom, inflation, and tapering off, the score stands as follows: Net annual income per farm 300 per cent higher it was $702 in 1939, reached $2,915 in 1948, and had sagged to an annual rate of $2,800 by January, 1949. Weekly indus trial wages up 130 per cent from $24 in January of 39 to approxi mately $55 in January of '49. Living costs 71 per cent higher than 10 years ago, after nearly a four-poidrop in the last few months. Finally, about three million unemployed a normal float, as economists call it. Wage rates show a gain of 26 and a half per cent since June, 1946, while the cost of living index now stands just 28 per cent higher than in that final month of OPA. The actual living cost increase has been somewhat less than 28 per cent, the study says, since the gov' ernment index naturally makes no g allowance for prices which were general in the latter months of OPA; thus the wage-earnepaycheck of today buys him as much or slightly more than his paycheck of June, 1946, the study finds. Percentage Increases in worker paychecks do not reflect sharp ad ditional gains made in fringe payments during the past decade, such as more vacations, holidays, pension programs, etc., the study points out ar d REGLAR FELLERS Is- The Answers 1.
