K. Because Income for farmers de juris largely upon food consilijHtyh! tlon, we present below extracts from an address-recently-delivered by Milo Perkins, president of the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation at Des Moines, Iowa. Space does not permit publication of the complete remarks of Mfc. Ffeh kins, but below will be found his discussion of the relationship be tween low-income families and pur chases of food, revealing a vast po tential market for the products of American farmers. ?? The Potential Low-lucerne Market Recently the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of Home Economics, with the collaboration of the National Resources Committee, made a detailed study of incomes in the United States during 1935-1936. It covered about 29,499,000 families and 10 million single individuals rep resenting over 126 millions persons. These folk provide the principal market for agricultural commodities. Their incomes and their purchases are the key to agricultural prosperi ty, particularly for farmers who sell most of what they raise here at home. It may come as a surprise to us, and an unpleasant one, to know that this study indicated that there were more than 4 million families, or 14 per cent of the total, who had ah average income of only $312 for the year. fJion A million I 111616 WB1B '"Uiu ? ? other families, 27.5 per cent of ttaj| total, who tad an average income of | $758. And there were nearly 7 mil- B lion famffiea, 23 per cent of the B total, who tad average incomes of $1224, or about $100 per month^ I In other words, nearly two-thirds ? of our families tad incomes of leas B than $1500, and the average was only B $826 a year?$69 a month for a I whole fainilyl That's the -story of B under-consumptioft in one figure. Frequently, we hear statements B about the average income in the B United States. For instance, in 1936, B the average family income was about ? ? $1620. The important thing for ds ? I to remember is that 65 per cent of | I the people ware getting^on a^ aver^ I you're out of a job. ^ ^ ( I income is derived from the produc UHete are some startling facts: I I Only 848 million dollars of that! II food bill, or 6 per cent, came fromB II 4,200,006 of our lowest income fam-B l|ilies, who were about 14 per cent! I| of all families. I| Only 20 per cent came from anoth-B er 8 million of our families, who were Hi 27.5 per emit of the total. In other ? | words, nearly 42 per cent of our fam- ? I ilies provided only 26 per cent of our| l|?Ac<wSng to this story, the 14 perl It cent of our families with *ta lowest ? |hwomes, that is, families receiving ? | $812 on the average, are spendingB I only slightly more than $1 per peo-B | son per week for food; (actually, m || order to keep going, they spentB II about 50 per cent more for all pur-H Debases than they earned; some mer-l I chant got stuck for part of the dif-1 II ferende). |l With an increased income to an ? I average of $758, the weekly per capi-| II ta expenditure for food rose to about | II $1.62. With an average income ofB $1224, people spent -about $?18 per B (month level, food expenditures also I I increased but at a somewhat slower ? j rate. -1 | ' In other words, people with in comes of under $500 ,a year have! about 6 cents per person per meal to [spend for food. Families getting an I income of $100 a month, have abound I I 10 cents per person per meal fori I food. The market for our farmers-is | doubled, so far as this group- is eon-.! I" What would happen if every fam* I which ease we'd get. some utop^j I forties, tawivir. %./ - I The data that we have that I ggg have meant an increase II W-ifiUHii'? S .m I raately lit billion dollars. I ft " ' - - ? 'M 4t. ? ^ I 1 7- ' ? - ?bout $100 per month. In other words, the per capita consumption of fruits of 14 per cent of our fami lies was only slightly more than one third of the per capfta consumption of urban fawrfli? receiving about $100 per month. The meat purchases of the lowest income group were only 66 per cent of the per capita consumption at the $100 letel. For dairy products, pur chases were only 4$ per cent; for eggs they were 67 per cent; for vegetables 68 per cent. Only for wheat products does the consumption of the lowest in terne groups come relatively close to the consumption of other levels. For these commodities the quan tities purchased were equal to about 94 per cent of the $1200 con sumption level. People have nearly enough bread in this country, even though the poorer families to their own baking. A less drastic, but similar story of under-consumption is told with regard to families who have to get along on an average income of $768 a year. Almost without exception, thr> percentage increase in purchaqjifl is larger as incomes increase to $1200 per year than it 1b whan they increase above that level. The farmer's real stake is in ths|fl bottom two-thirds of our city funi^fl lies who are fighting for an incoa$fl of $100 a month on which to eads$^l That's his greatest potential market? and it's right here at home. The over-stuffed third at the top, to which most of us in this room belong, has enough to eat, anyway. H ? ? ?? i .? i'jt . ? .?2 ' I Looking at Washington (Continued from page one) ? ' t. 1 ? ?*%'?

Tn the Canal Zone, the President toured the defenses and afterwards advocated doubling the present num ber of planes and guns defending the Canal as necessary for the long range defense of the link between the two oceans. The additional d* fense units are needed, says "the President, to provide a better oppor tunity to discover attacking forces? even from the air or by sea?at a much longer -distance' from the <?anal than has been provided heretofore. ? ?? However, the Chief Executive said that the first thing to do was to finish the present program for anti craft guns and planes. So far, about half the total of each recommended by the Army-Navy joint board and actually authorized, have been de livered. The fight to extend the Deciproca! Trade Program for three years shift ed to the Senate when the House, bj a 216 to 168 vote, passed the meas ure without amendment. Last week Secretary Hull told the Senate Fi nance Committee that abandonment of the policy by this country would result in a world-wide wave of to talitarian economy. _ Blaming much of the nation's eco nomic-trouble on the Smoob-Hawlej Tariff of 1980, the Secretary of State cited figures to show the re covery of our foreign trade sine* 1932, crediting much of it to tin reciprocal agreements. Mr. Hull saic that the program placed the weighl of this- country's influence - behind an effort to rebuild international re lationships in a way that the nations can prosper and be at peace. . - i Pointing out that trade channels shift more rapidly than ever ami that the nation must be in a position to act with speed and certainty to protect its trade opportunities in other countries. The Secretary of State, opposed any provision that the treaties be approved by Congress This, he said, under existing condi tions, wouldr malm the prog^a en tirely unworkable; ' Speculation continues over the President's intentions in regard to a third term, hut political observers ate genstelly agreed that 4fc? nomi nation is Mr. Roosevelfs if he wOl take it.
