In spite of increases in the
prices of select food items, con
sumer income increased faster

Higher prices were received by
farmers for livestock, eggs and
some vegetables, but overall, most
gains were offset by higher pro

Farmers received 39 percent of

nine claims were filed in 1964 and
34 of these were investigated.
Twenty-six of the 1965 claims
were found valid. In 18 of the
claims filed a 2.4-D type of pesti

year this type of pesticide was
used in 21 of the claims found
valid by the department.
Air applicators improved their
damage record in 1965. but dam

pesticides showed a marked in

application of a pesticide dropped
to 13 from the 22 of the previous

six in 1964 to 10 during 1965.

water by a pesticide was suspect

Major crops damaged by the
pesticide application were peas
