THERE'S THE RUB
Vou'Il probably be ttjld this
year lluit farm net income is the

Tliat’s true.
Batk in 1952, to bear this out,
farm net income was $14.1 bil
lion. This year, it's up to around
S14 billion.
Depending on who de.scrlbcs
tliis prosperity, though, you may
or may not be reminded of where
much of the cash is coming from.
Spokesmen for the U. S. Depart
ment of Agrieulture aren't saying
much about that.
Tin* truth of the matter Is, $2.2
billion of the 1965 net income is
being siphoned out of the federal
treasury. That’s up about $230
million from last year. Farmers
are getting the money in direct
payments for doing some things
and not doing others.
And it's interesting to note
that, If you don’t include that $2-2
billion in the 1965 net figure,
what’.'? loft is about comparable
to what farmers made in 19.51.
And it's not as large as the 1K)3
income. Or the 1952 income.
Without government pay-

farm are bolter than over.
This is improvement? I a way.
