Newspaper Page TextWEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1950 THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON PAGE THREE Nations Farm Income Declines; Texas Has Lead ' By Vincent Burke (United Preu Staff Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 15 HPi Iowa farmers, long heralded as the na tion's richest, have dropped be hind Texas and California grow ers in dollar earnings, the agri culture department reported to day. , v. . The department said Texas top ped all states in money collected by farmers from marketings of farm products during January November, 1949. California ran second. Down In third place were Iowa's farmers, who led the field with an all-time record high cash total in 1947. Iowa was barely edged out for the lead by California in 1948. For the nation as a whole, 1949 farm marketings brought farm ers about 10 per cent less cash than the previous year. The drop is continuing. The department estimated today that farmers this month will get about 10 per cent less from marketings than they received during January, 1948. As for 1949, officials said the final state-by-state total of farm ers' cash receipts for thif entire 12 months probably will not be compiled for another month. The final figures are not expected to challenge Texas' leadership. Texas Leads Field It was believed to be the first time that Texas led the field. In the previous nine years, Iowa had held first place four times, California five times. Texas jumped from third to first place with a record 1949 cot ton crop. This came at a time when prices for hogs -- Iowa's principal farm market Item had fallen , considerably below 1948 levels. Texas was the onlv major farm state in which 1949 cash receipts exceeded 1948. In 1948, 11 states topped the billion dollar mark in farmers' cash receipts. The same 11 were leading the field in 1949 but only five were above the billion dollar level. Here's the line-up showing cash receipts from farm market ings during January-November, 1949, compared with the same pe . riod in 1948: 1. Texas $1,905,182,000, with receipts running almost five per cent higher than in 1948. Break ing its own production record, Texas accounted for slightly more than one-third ol the nation's en tire 1949 cotton production. California Second down six per cent from the prfy4 ous year.

The committee bill would ap prove the entry of 320,000 displac ed persons before the law expires June 30, 1951. Five thousand or phans also would be admitted, as well as 5)000 other children not necessarily orphans who were adopted by U. S. military and civil personnel abroad. ..

Iowa $1,808,543,000, down five per cent.- This state is the na tion's leading hog producer. Al most 90 per cent of Iowa's cash receipts come from livestock and livestock products, incl u d i n g dairy.

In 1947 Iowa set an all-time state record of $2, 388,191,000 in cash receipts from farm marketings, 4. Illinois $1,573,429,000. down 8.5 per cent.

MacArthur Fears Disaster In Another War By Earnest Hoberecht (UniUd Prem Staff Corrapondent) Tokyo, Jan. 25 tP Gen. Doug las MacArthur is convinced that a third world war would destroy civiiization as we know it. That conviction and some oth ers held by the supreme com mander can be set forth with as surance on this eve ol his ?Gth birthday anniversary by this cor respondent who has been around his headquarters for four and a half years. ' Among those convictions are the following : 1. Modern war ts so destruc tive that it must be outlawed com pletely. 2. A ban on individual wpflnnns such as the atomic bomb and oth er more fearful forces is not the answer. 3. The answer lies in liberty, Christianity, democracy. 4. Communism is the biggest threat in the world today, and. tnere is ho mission more impor tant than meeting this challenge. Up to Leaders 5.. Civilization as we know it will be destroyed If world leaders fail in their responsibility to find a solution to the problems and permit a third world war. In contrast with the very defi nite ideas he holds on a number of important subjects not con cerned with his private life, Mac- Artnur came ud to his birthday Thursday disinclined to be speci- tic aoout any plans be might have for the long range future. He plans to keep rioht on at his present job until it is fin ished. After that f Rumors are heard that he might take a job in private industry, or that he might retire completely. Asked about it, he replied good naturedly: "I am not prophet to foretell the future." The birthday celebration will not be elaborate. Aside from his work ho will spend his birthday with his wife and their 12-year-old son, Arthur. The general will go to his office as usual. The only breaks in his seven-day-a-week routine were expected to be visits by a few top members of his staff and 8 handful of diplomats and others calling to extend greetings. It is his conviction that he has done pretty well here, and that there is hope for Japan's return ing to the world family of nations as a remade country following the pattern accepted by democratic nations. , Regardless of how history measures him, the general feels that he fust Is an American ana second a soldier. He will be pleas ed if he is remembered as a good American and a good soldier.

EXTRA COLOR CARTOON and LATE NEWS! 07 Replacing Coal in Heating Of Many Homes 'Washington, Jan. 25 miGov ernment and industry figures showed today that coal is being replaced by other fuels to an in creasing extent In homes and in dustry because of the uncertainty of supplies. During the 'past 10 years, the use of oil for home heat has more than doubled, while coal use has declined 27 per cent from its war time peak. In Industry, too, particularly the railroads, coal is being replac ed by oil and gas. Railroad off! ciais said the coal-burning loco motives are being replaced by diesel electric engines "wherever possible, or economically feasi ble." Government officials would not blame the decline on coal use on any one factor, but cited the con tinued mine labor unrest as "a major contributing factor to the uncertainty of supply which faces both home owners and Indus tries." . Also Easier Another factor cited by both. government and industry sources for the switch away from coal is the "ease of use" of oil or gas. "When you have an oil or gas burner," one oil industry spokes man said, "you don't have to haul out ashes, It's easier, and that's one major reason many home owners are switching. The steel industry has always been the heaviest user of coal. It still is, since steel-making requires coke and carbon. But even in tne steel Industry some furnaces once fed by coal are now burning oil, according to an oil industry source. Another major user of coal has been the electrical utility indus try. Here there has been a mark ed tendency during the past year to "experiment with gas and ou. The federal power commission re ported that many major electri cal uitlities, including some In New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Connecticut and the Chicago area have tried using both gas and oil during the past year in addi tion to or as replacement for coal. "They have installed duplicate equipment, so that on an hour's notice they can switch from eoai to either oil or gas," the FPC re ported, "In some instances they are using coal during the week and oil or gas on week ends, to cut down their costs. Some have switched from 100 per cent coal to using no coal at all. The Consolidated Edison Co., New York, one of the nation's largest utilities, reported that availability at ail times and a "stable labor situation In the oil industry" are the major reasons for the, company shift away from coal.
