Importance of Farming To
Economy Stressed by Journal
New York - IUPI) - Before
the farm problem gets kicked
around too much in its usual
role as a political football in
the campaign months ahead
the Farm Journal hopes to get
across to the voting populace
the importance of farming to
the U.S. economy.
The farm debate will ap-
pear remote and apart from
the basic issues to most peo
ple because more than 90 per
cent of the nation's population
lives away from the farm.
But, the Journal points out,
since the two largest items in
most family budgets are food
and taxes, the issues relating
to agriculture are not as re
mote as many people suppose
them to be.
Income; Explained
Using figures supplied by
the U.S. department of agri
culture, the Journal explains
what farm Income really
means to business and Indus
try. The figures make inter
esting reading.
' Farmers may be dwindling
In numbers and in proportion
to the population but they
continue to be the largest
customers of many of the big
manufacturing Industries, (he
magazine notes.
The farm population may be
Smaller but farming itself is
bigger than ever. And it must
continue to grow to feed and
clothe an ever-growing nation.
Agriculture's total assets of
$208 billion at the start of
1he year not only were the
highest In history but the
largest for any American in
dustry, according to the agri
culture department' statistics.
The size of agriculture is
pointed up when it is noted
that farming consumes more
petroleum products than any
single Industry, and farmers
buy half as much steel as the
entire giant auto industry.
In addition, there is a great
number of urban jobs, and, in
many cases, the well-being of
entire communities, depend
ing on the economic health of
agriculture, the Journal slates.
Statistical Confusion
II explains that much of the
misunderstanding about agri
culture's economic slalus and
importance has resulted from
the sheer statistical confusion
of too many figures to de
scribe the same thing.
The agriculture department
has undertaken to reconcile a
number of these different fig
ures '- the more popular one
being the $11.8 billion cited
in most dispatches as the 1059
farm Income.
This figure, according to
the DOA, Is what fanners
had left over for their own
and families' farm work, and
for return on the capital in
vested in their ) firms and
equipment, after they spent
$28.2 billion to produce crops
and livestock.
It is a net figure and ex
cludes all of the billions of
dollars that went to buy trac
tors and trucks, gasoline, oil
What Is The Law?
This column is prepared at a public service by in
College of Law, Willamette University, Salem, to
explain basic legal principles, not to provide legal
advice. The reader it cautioned not to apply these casoi
to his own problems without an attorney's advice, lor
differing facts may change the oulcome.
and tires, chemicals and elec
tric power, feed, seed and
fertilizer, building materials
and other equipment.
The DOA says another con
cept of farm income is the
one that lakes into account
all of the money farm people
have available for purchasing
goods and services.
Under this concept the de
partment adds to the $11.8
billion net income from farm
ing another $8.6 billion that
farms receive for work off
their own farms, or from such
sources as rents, royalties,
dividends and interest.
Must Command Respect
Add the two farm income
figures to the $26.2 billion
spent for production costs,
and agriculture emerges as a
$46.6 billion a year customer
for American business and
industry. This, the Farm
Journal declares, is economic
stature that must command
respect.
The farm situation was put
In a still different context
recently by Farm Journal
president Richard J. Babcock
who attributed America's in
dustrial leadership over Rus
sia to the greater efficiency of
American agriculture.
Me pointed out thul Russia
still requires 50 per cent of
its working force on the land,
while the United States needs
less than 10 per cent - giving
our nation a proportionately
larger labor force to employ
in business and industry.
But, Babcock added, unless
agriculture can operate at a
profit on a bnsis fair to pro
ducer and consumer alike, it
cannot expect to continue to
attract the kind of man and
capital that such an efficient
industry needs.
Can a Man be Jailed lor
A False Promise?
George became acquainted
with Maude, a lonely widow
vho had just enough savings
to keep her In comfort for
the. rest of her life. After
gaining her confidence,
George asked Maude for a
85,000 lonn, promising: "It
you will loan me the money
loday I'll give you a first
mortgage on a very valuable
piece of real estate within a
month." Maude trustingly
handed over the $5,000.
A month went by and
Maude received no first mort
gage. George was broke, and
Maude was never able to col
lect the money. She complain
ed to the district attorney and
George was charged with ob
taining money by false pre
tenses, a crime punishable in
the penitentiary. Is George
guilty?
Crime Defined
In most stales George
would not be guilty. The
crime of false pretense Is usu
ally defined in substantially
these words: "Knowingly and
designedly obtaining the prop
erty of another by means of
untrue representations of fact
with intent to defraud." If
we assume that George had
no intention, when he made
his promise, of ever giving
Maude a first mortgage on
real estate, we must never
theless prove that he made
an untrue representation of
fact.
; A promise is not a repre
sentation of an existing or
past fact. If George had told
Maude that he had $250,000
in the bank that would have
been a representation of fact.
'False Pretense'
. A small but increasing mi
nority of states holds that
the making of a promise with
no intent to keep Jt consti
tutes a false pretense on the
ground that intent or state
of mind is fact which can
be misrepresented. California
is one of a minority of slales
which hnlds that a promise
made without intention to
perform Is a misrepresenta
tion of a stale of mind. Thus
a promise is a misrepresenta
tion of existing fact and Is a
"false pretense." The diffi
culty In that position arises
from the difficulty of pro
viding a stale of mind.

Latin American Visit Proposed
.Washington - IUPJI - Senate
Democratic Whip Mike Mans
field proposed today that the
U.S. president-elect make a
"get acquainted" visit to Lat
in America before his inaugu
ration next January.
Mansfield also urged the
administration not to ram
through the resumed session
of Congress a large Latin
American aid program be
cause it would look like "a
callous attempt to purchase
favor."
Instead, he said, the United
Stales should support devel
opment of an inter-American
economic program with par
ticipation by olher nations of
Ihe Americas.
Mansfield's proposal came
as U.S. relations with Cuba
reached a new low. The State
Department accused the Cas
tro regime of becoming a
Communist tool and of try
ing lo foment revolution else
where in Latin America.
