Industries See Boom On Farms NEW YORK Wi-In their competition for the consumer's dollar a number of industries are taking a closer look today at the farm income totals. The fact UtOC a downward spiral has stopped and that a reversal in the trend is due heartens merchants who even during the slump that followed the end of Korean hostilities found the farm market good for such things as freezers, stoves, TV sets and wall-to-wall carpting. The Department of Agriculture estimates that farmers will spend five billion dollars more in the next four years lor home -appliances.

And the Carpet institute reports that the number of families remodeling or redecorating their homes is well above the national average. The farmer's spending habits appear to be in their third major phase since World War II. Farm income rose sharply during the war. The first phase was the use of the increased income to pay off old debts. It is estimated that 7 out of 10 farms are clear of mortgage.

Farm income continued high after the war and the farmer put a lot of it into buying new farm equipment. Last year the investment in machinery and motor vehicles used on the farm was esti- atcd at nearly 18 billion dollars, about six times as great as in 1940. This phase came to a fairly sudden halt when the prices of farm products turned down. The fanner decided to get along with the machinery he had. The third phase, which merchants say has been particularly notable in the '50s, has been the purchasing of household equipment.

Arrival of electric power to, many rural areas helped, and farmers turned to raising living standards. The Department of Agriculture reports the standards in the farm houses are now more than 50 per cent higher than fore the war.

"If this case should be submitted to a jury," Lupton said, "the outcome would be a fdregone conclusion. The state would be unable to produce any evidence to prove that she realized the nature or the consequences of her acts." Nothing could be gained, Lupton said, by subjecting Dr. Norma Holt to a long trial. "Actually, the ardors of a trial might cause her to have a relapse, and setj back her condition." Judge Armstrong concurred.

He noted that the State Hospital superintendent. Dr. Walter A. Sikes, asked that the woman doctor be returned for further treatment if she were acquitted or the case otherwise disposed of. In the courtroom, Mrs.
