FARM INCOME IS
RISING SHARPLY;
MAY SET RECORD
Dawn of New.Era of ,
mm For
Washington. (UP) —Farm
income is rising sharply to-
ward what Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics experts pre-
dict will be a post-depression
high in prosperity this year.
Farmers marketed $663,
000,000 worth of crops and
livestock In January, an in-
crease of 444.000,000 over
January, 1940.
Virtually all of the January
increase, the bureau reported,
wee due to the rising livestock
prices. Livestock sales
brought formers a January in-
come of 4434.000,000, an in-
crease of 455,000)006-' over
that month of last year.
Smaller marketings of bogs
was more than offset by sharp-
ly higher prices. Cattle mar-
ketings and prices were high-
er, and lamb salee increased.
“Cash income from livestock
sales and livestock products
during the next few months of
1941 is expected to continue
to show substantial increases
over the corresponding months
of last year,” the bureau said.
Cash income from crops
and from government benefit
payments were slightly small-
er than they were a year
earlier. Fanners received
4229,000,000 from the sale of
crops compared with 4238,-
000,000 . in January,. 1940.
Government benefit payments
declined 4126,000,000 to 487,-
000,000.
Total farm income, includ-
ing government payments, in
January- was 4760,000,000,
compared with 4748,000,000
in Jan. 1940, the bureau' re-
ported. The. decline in in-
come from crops was attribut-
ed to the smaller amount of
corn . going into government
loan and to lower potato
prices.
The bureau said income from
the sale of crops may be
slightly smaller during the
first part of 1941 than for
1940. However, higher prices
for the 1941 crop are expected
to boost total farm income to
the highest point since start of
the depression.

War Department Says -
site to Be Selected in
Pmey Woods Belt.
Lufkin- Daily News.
Location of an army can-
tonment, housing 10,000 to
12.000 soldiers, has narrowed
down to eight East Texas coun-
ties, including Angelina, ac-
cording to a war department
announcement made public
Saturday.
The tier of counties in the
piney woods belt,; inspected re-
cently by an army board of en-
gineers, includes- Nacogdoches,
Shelby, San Augustine, Hous-
ton, ' San;. Jacinto, Liberty,
Walker and Angelina.
‘■About -412^660,600- for con-
struction of the camp i» includ-
ed in a blanket appropriation
already approved.by the house
appropriations committee. Ac-
tual location of the'East Texas
camp, according to the an-
nouncement, is expected to be
made shortly after the appro-
priation is passed by both
houses of congress and signed
by the president.
The site in Angelina, county,
inspected last week by the.
board, makes up approximate^
]y 40,000 acres west of Zaval-
la. The board, headed by Col.
H. A. Finch, spent several
hours in the “fact-findings”
tour. Col.' Finch was jropre?j-
ed with the proposed' site, but
m non-committal.
The army’s interest in East
Taxas aa a training center
dates back to the war games
at spring 1940, when nearly
75.000 national gnardmen
and regular army soldiers
tramped, rode and stumbled
over miles of forest and brush-
land in a mock war that in-
volved crossing the Sabine
.river and attacking an army
base in Alexandria, L.a
The area.in and around An-
gelina County is considered an
ideal training site because the
country is typical of vast for-
ested sections of the United
Sates, and the climate is also
considered, favorable, making
poaaible year-round activity.
_ Friday W. 'R. Beaumier,
"it appears probable that chamber, commerce secre-
the decline in government
payments and in income from
crops will only partly offset
the prospective increase in re-
turns from livestock products,
and that cash income in the
first half of 1941 wilt be high-
er than in the same period of
1940,” the conomists said.
Teat at Atlanta
Atlanta, G*., March 2. (TIP)
—Capt. Eddie Bickenbacker,
president of Eastern Airlines
who suffered serious injuries
in the crash of one of his com-
pany deeper planes last Wed-
nesday night,
placed in an oxygentent- to
facilitate his breathing which
had hem hampered by four
fractured ribs.
“I do not think there is any
immediate danger,” Dr. Floyd
Macrae said of Bickenbacker’s
condition.
“Capt Bickenbacker’s gen-
eral condition is the same.
Complications— particularly
restlessness and difficulty in
breathing—have made his
ease more serious.” ”
tary-manager, ‘complying with
a request of the army inspec-
tion board, submitted a map
of acreage in the Zsvails area.
. The map .was marked off to.
show the available land for
possible location of the camp.
Of the 60,000 acrea in the
proposed site, some 10,000
acres are held by Landowners
in tracts from 200 acres and
leas.
livestock Shipments
Austin, Tex. — Livestock
shipments from Texas ranges
perked up during January, to
total 4,900 carloads, a gain of
today was 4.5 per cent over January,
I940: Uniyeixhy ,of .Texas bufi*--
ness statisticians said today.
Increased movement of
calves and hogs accounted for
the gain for cattie and sheep
shipments reclined records of
the University’s Bureau of
Business Research reveal.
Cattle shipments totaled 2,-
611 carloads, down 5.5 per
cent; calves, 930 carloads, up
9.8 per cent; hogs, 99S can,

Belgrade, March 3. (UP)—
Reliable Yugoslav quarters,
predicting an early enforce-
sd peace between Greece and
Italy, said early today that
Yugoslavia probably will fol-
low Bulgaria in joining the
tri-power alliance to escape
“encirclement” by the axis.
Yugoslavia, last of the Bal-
kans to ding to strict neutral-
ity in ' the struggle between
Britain and the axis in south-
eastern- Europe, appeared to
b^ drawing rapidly nearer a
decision hs to the course of
her international relations.
(The German radio, heard
in Loudon, reported that Yugo-
slav Premier Drmgisha Cvetko-
vitch had cut short a weekend
holiday at his eountry home
near Nidi, hurried to Belgrade
u~ airplane, and conferred at
length with Prince Regent
Paul).
The German army’s unim-
peded march into Bulgaria has
given Yugoslavia a percepti-
ble push toward the axis, ac-
cording to informed quarters
here, aid Yugoslavia’s adher-
ence to the German-ltalo-Ja-
panese alliance may be ex-
pected "if the present general
trend continues.”
The Nazi occupation of Bul-
garia has crested a “profound
change” in the Balkan situ-
ation involving the almost cer-
tain esrly finish of the Greek-
Italian war, they said.
If this occurs it will mean
that Yugoslavia would be left
surrounded by axis countries
or countries solidly drawn into
the axis orbit. i

afternoon, having checked, to
within, two or three feet of
markers recorded on two. pre-
vious wells to. the same area.
The Skelly test southeast of
Mt Enterprise topped the
massive■ anhydrite formation
late Friday and was going
ahead slowly in the marble-
like formation,, Production
from, this formation is an im-
possibility, since there is no
porosity.
Skelly employes checking
the well have made no com-
ment to indicate, that they are
worried over outcome of the
well. The test was high in
comparison with Pure Oil Go.

drilled near Concord .and the
only means by which the test
can be checked,, in. the upper
strata. Formations have, thick-

This may or may not he seri-
ous; the only show of oil the
Pure test ' had was to the
neighborhood of 7200 feet,
where there.waa a 'brief show
of oil and a gas. odor. ]
The Skelly test is being
checked every 19 feet, with
euttings saved from it. It also
is being timed to drilled so that
future wells, if any, will have
a guide for .operations.
The Delta test, just north of
Henderson, was drilling at 2,-
700 feet Saturday afternoon at
4 o’clock, and was reported
authoritatively to be picking
up strata recorded in logs. 'of
previous wells at.almost' the
exact depths they were en-
countered by the preceding
wildcats.
This wildcat is being drilled
on a tract four miles due north
