sought the program but would
accept the responsibility “like

SOURCES OF 1942
FARM INCOME
College Station.—T e x a s
farmers obtained one-third of
their 1942 cash farm income
from cotton and cottonseed.
Specifically, cotton seed pro-
duced 4.7 per cent of this,
according to U. S. Department
of Agriculture figures quoted
by C. E. Bowles of-the A. and
M. College Extension Service.
Compared with other crops,
the revenue from cottonseed
exceeded that received from
wheat, more than the com-
bined income from fruit, truck
and vegetables, and four times
the amount received for other
oil-bearing seed crops, such as
peanuts, soybeans and flax-
seed.
Bowles, who is the Exten-
sion specialist in organization
and cooperative marketing,
says that the income from lint
rose more than that from cot-
tonseed because of price ceil-
ing governing the sale of cot
tonseed products.
Proceeding with a break-
down of farm income sources
in 1942, Bowles says that beef
cattle contributed. 18.8 per
cent; poultry, eggs and tur-
keys, 7.5 per cent; milk 7 per
cent; sheep, wool and mohair
5.7 per cent; government
benefit payments, 5.7 per cent;'
and hogs 4.4 -per cent. Income
from sale of hogs was more
than in the preceding year.
A 12 per cent increase in
crop and livestock production,
along with prices averaging
about 29 per cent higher than
those of 1941, account for most
of the rise in income. , Income
trends during the first four
months of 1943 bear out pre-
dictions of 11SDA economists
that farm incomes will be
somewhat larger this year.
Bnt scarcity of certain feeds
and soaring feed prices may
be expected to slow down ex-
pansion of livestock.
Offsetting increasing farm
income, are tthe highest prices
in 22 yean for hired labor,
feed, seed, machinery and
other items used in production,
Bowles points out.
