TAYLOR How have the farmer and the farm hand fared thus far dyring the war—in earnings and wages — as eompared with workers in the cit. jes? : The recent Regional Agricultural Conference, held by the War Finance Dvision of the U. S. Treasury Department in San Francisco, turned the spotlight on this question and produced some interesting comparigons. In spite of shortages of labor and machinery, and many other handicapsand annoyances, American agriculture has turned in a magnificent Droduetion performance during the Lwar. While total production of food crops lasf year was 9 per cent below all time high of 1942, it was still 13 per cent above the 1935-39 average. Livestock production in 1943 was actually 10 per cent above 1942 and the highest in history. Balancing the 9 per cent drop in the total production of food crops against the 10 per cent increase in livestock ipfoduction, total food production for last year was 5 per cent above 1942—-and 82 per cent above the 1935-39 average. The conference developed these pertinent facts concerning farm income: : ’ United States prices of farm products have about doubled since 1939. During the ‘past year, farm. prices of. farm products increased about 10 per cent. Prices of farm products reached “‘parity’’ in 1942 and are now 16 per cent above parity, but it Was made clear that parity prices do come of farm people with industrial workers. One major weakness in “parity tabulations” is that they have never included farm labor. And wages of farm labor in the United States have almost trebled since the low point before the war. ‘ During 1942 and 1943 (still quoting data submitted at the conference), the average per capita net income of the country‘s farm population showed a greater percentage injcrease than the net income of nonfarm people. On a dollar basis, how_ Lever, the average per capita net in« . come of the farm population was about $510 as compared with about $1219 for the non farm population. In 1943, the conference developed the 20.5 per cent of the people in this country living on farms got 9.8 per cent of-the national income. In 1935-39 the percentage of the ‘national income going to farm people ‘. Was 8.1. Admittedly, a mathematical comparison.of per capita incomes. of. { farm and non farm population is open to the criticism that certain items in the cost of living—food and shelter for example—are higher in . the city, On the other hand, other ‘items—higher. education and costs __. of many home conveniences and gerviees—are higher for farm people. A lbeter measure of the « tive 1 r situation between agri: cult re and industry is the “net inme per worker’’ of the two groups. Income per worker in agriculture is ‘an average which includes farm operators, hired hands, and members [ft the operators’ families who are working on farms. Income per work. er in Industry ineludes factory work1&8, Miners ‘and railroad employes. s. , tm 1942 and 1943, the ‘average W@inet theome of the worker in agriculture was in a reasonably favorable relationship to the average net injeome of industrial workers. In dolhe income per worker ti agri. __NEVADA CITY NUGGET not necessarily mean” equality of in-. ems . mine, and found the body covered dustry has increased about 125 per cent since 1910-1914. Since 1939, incomes of farm Op-) erators (owners) have increased more rapidly than wage incomes of industrial workers and for the first time since 1919 are in a reasonably favorable relationship to them: In dollars, the most income per farm operator last year ‘was $2079, as compared with $2138 for the aver-. age industrial worker. It should be; remembered, however, that the net, income of the farmer includes pay for the use of his capital inves¢ment as well as his labor and management. ; The farm operator, the conference concluded, has a greater security of job, but a greater xariability of income than the industrial worker. Both,.at the present time, are doing comparatively well, the . conference also concluded, and should be investing a greater share of their income in war bonds: CAMPAIGN BEGUN TO STAMP OUT BANG’S DISEASE By H. E. CATLIN; Brucellosis or Bang’s disease, reduces milk production 22.5%. Brucellosis reduces calf crops 40% by abortion. Twenty per cent of cows aborting from the disease become sterile. Seventeen per cent of dairy eattle in California are infected. The accepted control for the disease is vaccination of heifer calves with Culture No. 19. It will protect 96% of the vaccinated animals against infection. : The Agricultural Extension Ser‘vice is making available in Nevada County a cooperative program for vaccinating with Culture No. 19 iboth beef and dairy heifer calves between the ages of 5 and 11 months. The culture will be tested in the university laboratories before use. Dr. Roesner is cooperatin in the program. z = Notices are being mailed toNevada County farmers who are asked to fill‘out and return.an enclosed. postcard indicating the nuniber of heifer calves of the proper age they wish to have vaccinated. They will be notified later of the date of vaccination and the appropriate time of day the veterinarian will arrive.
