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-.!

?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.

the absence of complete plans and

was alowed for preparing the plans
and specifications.
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
