November 1. 1945 Decline Forecast In Net Income Of Farmers For 1946 , .-c WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (fP) A decline of as much as 15 per rent In the net income of farmers in 1945 was forecast today by the nericulture department. i The department said cash receipts from marketings probably would not drop quite that much. The net decline estimate how ever, was based on tne tncory mai some prices larmcrs pay lor what they buy will increase. . A 15 per cent decline in real farm Income still would leave It more than double the prewar average, including the peak years following the first World War, the department said. In Its 1946 outlook issue of the demand and price situation, Iho department predicted mat tptal demand for farm products would remain high through the fear. "The curtailment of military purchases of most products will be offset largely, if not entirely, by expanding civilian require ments and increased purchases for relief and export," the de- fiartment said. "In. some cases, he supplies released by the re duction or disappearance of spe cial military requirements will ir it only at lower tea made from juicy, red ripe tomatoes...thick cream.. : fragrant spices all combined with homelike care HEINZ SKILL! be absorbed prices." The prices of fruits, vege tables, truck crops and eggs "may decline somewhat more than those of other farm pro ducts," it added. Farm wages, which have risen to almost three times their pre war (1935-39) level, are likely to remain relatively high al though some declines are ex pectable in tne second half of 1946, the report said. ' Assuming average crop yields next year, total cash receipts, including government payments, may be about $19,000,000,000, This is about 10 per cent below 1945. the peak, Total cash receipts for this year were estimated at about $20,400,000,000, with govern ment payments bringing the to tal to around a2l,zuu,uuu,uuu, 3 per cent above 1944. Indications are that cash re ceipts from crops will be about 5 per cent above last year, re ceipts from livestock and live stock -products only slightly higher. ROAD BIDS LITTLE SALEM, Nov. 1 (IP) State highway .engineers said today they were agreeably surprised that bids on the first postwar road projects totaled a trifle less than their estimates. Contracts for. the 10 projects awarded at the. highway - com mission meeting in Portland totaled $1,170,000, compared with the engineer's estimates of $1,260,000. This was only $44. 000 less than had been estimated. Bids on three other projects were opened at the njeeting, but these contracts nave not yet been awarded. The low bids on these projects total $136,000, while the estimates had totaled $127,000. , In making their advance esti mates the engineers had assum ed that building costs would be 50 percent above pre-war costs. They hit this almost on the nose, but they were fearful that the bids might total far more than that. About 60.000,000 pounds of activated carbon, used in de odorizing, decolorizing and water purification, are produced an nually in the United States.
