enjoyed a tremendous growth in the
county in recent yean. In 1964.
118,000 buaheli were produced (or an
Income of $301,000. In 1967,
349,000 bushels were grown for an
income of $872,000. While never a

produced for an income of $109,500
while In 1967, 142,000 buaheli were

Growth of sweet potatoes and Iriih
potatoes has declined In the county
over the past few years and after
taking a serious dip In 1965, lespedeza
seed nude a comeback In 1967. How
ever, income from those crops as well
as peanuts and some others have never
figured strongly in the total income of
Franklin farmers.
A count of all cattle on farms has
grown over the years although not to
the extent one might believe. Accord
ing to the figure* by the federal-state
agency, there were 6100 cattle In the
county in 1961 and 7300 in 1968.
Cows and Heifen for beef have shown
about the same percent of growth With
2450in 1965 and 2700 last year.
One interesting note disclosed In
the survey report, is the fact that gross
farm income has increased 31.3 per
cent since 1955. However, the shocker
comes when It Is noted that produc
tion expenses Increased 61.4 percent
over the same period.
