Waugh, director of the Eco nomics Division, predicted Mon- I day that the increase for 1957 would be 5 per cent. He spoke bei fore an agricultural conference, I The department said payments under the new soil bank program are an important contributing factor to this increase as they are expected to be again next year. $11 Rillion realized net income was at an annual rate of $11,700,000,000 in the finst nine months of 1956 compared with 000 for the whole year of The department said cash receipts from farm marketings totaled $23,900,000,000 through ber of this year, up more than 2 per cent from the corresponding 10 months of 1955.

Volume of farm marketings is, about 3 per cent larger than last! volume, more than offset-, ting slightly lower average prices, non-money income, including the value of home-consumed farm products and tie rental value of farm dwellings is about the same as last year, the department said. Cash Reeeipls The gross realized income, including ca.sh receipts from mar-: ketings and government payments i plus non-money income, is up about 2 per cent so far thLs Production expeivses have also ris-1 en but only about 1 per cent, i The result has been a 4 per cent increase in realized net income, the department said. Allowing for expected crop acreage reductions under the soil bank program, it said, cash receipts froni marketings of farm crops likely will be smaller in 1957 than in 19.56. Prices of farm crops may average slightly higher next year, but the volume of crop marketings will probably be reduced more than enough to offset the prospective increase in average prices. But with somewhat higher receipts from all marketings is expected to be fairly small.

This decline. however, will be more than offset by increases in soil bank payments. Edgar B. Hester Funeral Thursday Funeral services for Edgar Burgess Hester, 83. of 840 Hartley, will be held 10 a.m.
