c
Jackson county's gross agricul
tural income for 195b reached
$23.688.3ftL. according to the an
nual agricultural report by the
county extension service.
The county agent's office
c pointed out, however, that these
are.fross sales figures, and do
not represent income to valR-y
people. Tii is is particularly true
in the fruit industry, since al
most all the prer crop is sold
outside the valley, with attend
, ant costs charged against the
gross price. A true .figure of
jiet income to valley residents
would be considerably smaller
than the figures given, it was
explained.'
Horticulture income totaled
$19,000,000. livestock $5,174,310,
farm rops $3,737,351 and poul
try $726,700
