Councilmen Clan Crawford, Jr., Charles W. Joiner, and Carl A. Brauer, Jr., the members of the committee suggested that the council support any efforts by the residents of the subdivision toward annexation, in an effort to solve the area's sewage disposal problem. The subdivision, including ap- proximately 164 acres just outside the eastern city limits, now handles its sewage on an individual-home septic tank basis. Dr. Otto K. En- gelke, county health .office, has told residents of the subdivision that "a multiple-type sewage col- lection system, with proper treat- ment, is the only solution." The council's committee also recommended in its just-published report that in the event of annexa- tion, sanitary sewer facilities should be financed through special assessments in the area and that improvements should not be made without the citizens' requests. BY OVWD A. MARTIN Associated Press Farm Reporter WASHINGTON WP) - How well off is the nation's agriculture? This question is being argued by groups having conflicting views on whether the federal government should do more or less to put dollars into farmers' pockets. The debate doubtless will be heard in Congress when members again tackle farm legislation at the com- ing session. The.controversy has been fed by periodic reports of the Agriculture Department that farm income is rising in a recent document en- titled "The Balance Sheet of Agri- culture, 1957," issued by the Fed- eral Reserve Board. This bulletin said farm assets increased five per cent during 1956. Well off: Benson Secretary' of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, one of whose tasks is to defend farm policies of the ad- ministration, has been leading the "pro" debating team on this issue. Espousing the negative has been James B. Patton, president of the National Farmers Union, Herschel Newsom, master of the National Grange, and leaders of the newly organized National Conference of Commodity Organizations. Benson pins much of his argu- ment on the FRB bulletin relating to farm assets. Assets at Peak "On Jan. 1, 1957," the bulletin says, "the value of farm assets reached a new peak of nearly 177 billion dollars, about five per cent more than a year earlier." These assets were listed as farm lands and buildings, automobiles, tractors, motor trucks, farm ma- chinery and equipment, livestock, crop inventories, household goods and financial assets. The bulletin said that most of the increase in assets in 1956 was in the value of farm lands. Of the total increase of 8.6 billion dollars in all assets, land accounted for 6.8 billion. 'NotdTrue Increase' Newsom declares that this in- crease in land values is not a true increase because, he argues, farm- ers owned no more land at the start of 1957 than at the beginning of 1956. Newsome and others, who argue that farmers are no better off this year than last, if as well off, point to the Federal Reserve bulletin report on farm assets as reflected in farm holdings of livestock. The bulletin says these assets increased 4.7 per cent during 1956. But the critics cite an Agricul- ture Department report giving an inventory of livestock on farms at the beginning of the year. This report states that at the beginning of 1957 there were two per cent fewer cattle, five per cent fewer hogs, one per cent fewer sheep and 9 per cent fewer horses and mules on farms than a year earlier. Only in the case of poultry was there an increase. Due to Inflation? The increased valuation put on livestock by the Federal Reserve bulletin reflected higher market BENSON ES. FARM GROUPS: Prosperity of Agriculture in Dispute prices for animals. Newsom says the higher prices were due, in part, to inflation. The bulletin showed little differ- ence in the values of crops held by farmers at the beginning of this year compared with a year ago. It did show, however, that assets in the form of machinery and motor vehicles increased 3 per cent dur- ing the year. Benson argues that this fact shows a "definite" im- provement in farm buying power. The bulletin also showed that farm assets in the form of cur- rency and bank deposits changed little, but that investment in U.S. savings bonds ; increased 2.1 per cent. Benson reports that farmers have only two dollars in debts for each $100 of assets. But his critics point to the Federal Reserve bul- letin statement that the farm real estate debt increased nine per cent and non - real estate debts in- creased one per cent during 1956. wi The Finest Since 7850 E the Na- the, ILYO FFICIAL.
