Farm and Industry Incomes Parallel Figures on total far mincome in Oregon and industrial workers' in come in the United States show re markable similarity in trends over a period of years, according to data published by the O. S. C. extension service. The relationship is not so close in respect to farm income from some commodities as for others, however. Consumer demand and prices for certain items like meat, butter, and fruits and vegetables, tend to follow the fortunes of indus trial workers in a greater degree than demand and prices for some (Gazette Times, May 3, 1928.)

Gazette Times, Heppner, other commodities like wheat and potatoes for which demand is less "elastic" and prices react largely to the size of the supply, as well as being affected somewhat by the strength of demand. The general relationship between the income of fruit and vegetable producers in the United States and the income of the industrial work ers is shown in the accompanying chart. The incomes of industrial workers is thus shown to be a pret ty fair barometer of probable gross farm income from fruits and veget ables. Moderate deviations in the trend in income of the two groups of producers are usually associated with variations in the supply of the commodities, changes in foreign de mand for export products, and other special factors. The period 1924 to 1929 was a rel atively stable period on both farm income and industrial workers' in come, but both took a heavy tail spin from 1930 to 1932, then rose to gether until 1937.
