Farm Population Totals 15,635,000 Washington - IUPD - The government has estimated U. S. farm population totaled only about 15,635,000 in April 196" - about the same as It was during the Civil War. The estimate, showing I960 farm population down to a record low 8.7 per cent of the national total, was released simultaneously by the Agri Census Bureau Monday. The culture Department and the Agriculture Department at the same time estimated 1960 net farm Income at $11.6 bil lion, up about 3 per cent from 1959. The new population esti mate chops about 25 per cent from previous government es timates of farm population. Dairy Support Increase Expected Washington IUPD Agricul ture Secretary Orville Free man is expected to announce soon an increase in price sup ports for dairy products. Support prices for the cur rent dairy marketing year are based on a rate of $3.22 hundredweight for manufac turing milk. Administration sources indicate the rate may go to about $3.35 a hundred- weight perhaps slightly nigner. Freeman's final decision may be Influenced by final congressional action on feed grain program for 1961. Ihe dairy support announce ment has been delayed be cause of uncerlalnty about the grain program. Under ordinary circum stances, the dairy support would have been announced several weeks ago. The new rate will go into effect for the marketing year beginning April 1, and USDA usually makes the announcement well in advance of the April 1 deadline. Per Capita Meat Supply May Drop Washington -IUPD-The Agri culture Department predicted today that per capita meat supplies In 1961 may drop nearly 1 per cent from the 1960 level Total meat production is expected to rise to another new record this year, topping last year's record figure of 28.3 billion pounds. But the continued growth of the na tion's population and a de cline in Imports of meat will combine to bring per capita supplies down. In I960, the supply of meat available to the average American was 161.7 pounds. In 1961, Agriculture Depart ment experts believe the figure will drop by one pound or more.
