" This sharp per capita in crease was accounted for al most wholly by a decrease in farm population. Preliminary estimates in the department's publication, The Demand and Price Situa- tion.'Vshow farmers' net real ized income for 1957 totaled $11,500,000,000, down 4 per cent from 1956 net farm in come. A substantial increase in inventories of commodities held on farms at the end of the year raised farmers' total net income for 1957 to $12,- 100,000,000. More Than Anticipated The department said the de cline in realized net income cash money left after pro duction expenses are paid was more than had been an ticipated previously." The realized net income in cluded about $1 billion in di rect payments from the gov ernment. These payments were for participation in the soil bank, wool, agricultural conservation, and sugar pro grams. The per capita (income of farmers from farm sources only was $684, compared with $601 in 1956. The per capita income from non farm sources mostly from off farm jobs, was $309 in 1957. In 1956, it was $301. The department also re leased the number of farms by states in 1957. It showed the long-time downward trend in number of farms in opera tion last year represented a 2.3 per cent decrease from 1956. The department also estimated there will be about 4,750,000 farms operated in 1958. i " Farms in operation in 1958 included: Idaho 39,200, Washington 67,000, Oregon 55,000 and California 132,000.
