The nation’s farmers received a record $24,500,000,000 for last year's crops and started 1947 with assets worth $111,209,000,000. The economists’ report, based on revised figures, pointed out that most of the increase in farmers’ gross earnings resulted from still-booming prices that have, fchot up their income still further during the first eight months of this year. Despite the record take last year, the report said, farmers went further into debt.

In this connection, the Federal Reserve System reported that in sure! commercial banks alone had '2,200,000,000 outstanding: in mort gage and short-term farm pro duction loans as of last June 30. The agriculture experts said that farmers’ cash earnings last year were “the largest in a con tinually increasing series which started in 1939 and apparently has not yet reached its climax." “This long uptrend in farm in come," they said, ’stemmed from the strong wartime and postwar demand for all farm products, and from increased production. Price increases have played a major part in the gainst ’ An official Agriculture Depart ment report showed recently that farmers were doing even better this year.
