The outlook for farm in come in 19ti2 - published last week - indicated farmers realized net income this year will be around $12.7 billion, the same as last year and about $1 billion more than in I960. Cash receipts from farm marketings probably will be larger, but higher pro duction expenses probably will hold net income to the 1B1 level. Here is the 1962 situation by commodities, as seen by department economists writ ing in the Agricultural Out look Digest: Red meat production is ex pected to match the increase in population. Consumption per person will total about 161 pounds, the same as in 1961. At the farm level, cattle prices may average slightly higher than in 1961, reflecting a stronger demand and only a small gain in marketings. Fed cattle prices into early sum mer will average above year ago levels. Hog prices are expected to avcreage a little below last year because of increased marketings. Gains are in view for sheep and lamb prices this year be cause of a prospective sizable cutback in slaughter, Prices received by farmers for all milk at wholesale will be lower this year than in 1961, but not by the full drop in the support prices for man ufacturing milk and butterfat. Milk production is expected to exceed last year's record 125.5 billion pounds, by pos sibly 2 billion pounds. Egg Prices Down Spring egg prices are ex pected to be below 1961 levels due mainly to larger output. But some reduction in re placement hatch will strength en seasonably rising prices next fall.

The turkey situation points to sharp price improvement this fall from last year's ex tremely depressed prices. Large storage stocks are being worked down rapidly and hatching activity indicates substantial reduction in the 1962 crop. Feed grain production in 1962-63 may be around trw 1961-62 total. Smaller Wheat Crop I The total 1962 wheat crop, as of April 1, is indicated at around 120 million bushels less than last year's crop and the smallest since 1957. The final size will be influenced by producers' participation in the 1962 wheat program. Soybean prices to farmers for the remainder of the 1961 62 marketing year are expect ed tn average slightly above the 1961 support rate of $2.30 per bushel sharply below prices a year earlier. Prices in the fall for 1962-crop beans ! likely will be close to the per bushel. Improved potato prices are likely by late spring. WERE YOU BORN BEFORE 1911 . ? . .
