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

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.
