Mrs. Elvera Horreil, extension agricultural economist at Oregon State college said a small increase in farm earnings in 1056 marked the first improvement in farm in come since 1951 and 1957 should sec still more improvement. Mrs. Horreil pointed out im provement in farm income de pends mainly on four factors; sup ply, demand, marketing costs and the government programs. She said farm surplus stockpiles were a major cause of the drop in farm income from 1951 to 1955. To improve the situation.

Domestic use of farm products has been rising through the post few years and with employment and income high, Mrs, Horreil said more demand for farm products will result during the present year. Agriculture cxporls may reach an all-time high for the 1956 crop;;, she said, and the export outlook for 1957 looks favorable. Farmers are still faced with the problem of rising production and marketing costs, Mrs. Horreil said, hut with greatly expanded soil bank program, government payments will be increased and prices of some farm products should be strengthened by reduced output.
