Concern over a fairly preva-

white bean fields — even in the
new Sanilac variety—has promp-
ted Huron Ag Rep Douglas Miles
to callfor an investigation by
provincial experts.
The ag rep said Tuesday he
plans to take several authorities
from Ridgetown and Guelph

of the arca to look over some
affected fields on Thursday.
Among tl.em will be Wynn,

Mr. Miles said blight is' show-
ing on leaves of Sanilac beans
but it hasn't affected the beans
themselves yet. He is, however,
concerned about "the yellowing
of the fields." '

sis Reveals
Net farm. income for 18 oper-
ators in South Huron averaged
$4,754 in 1957.
This was revealed in an analy-
sis of records compiled by the
South ;Huron Farm Management
Assoeiation, which was released
by the county agricultural office
this week.
Average labor income for the
18 farm operators was $2,816.
in comparison, records of. the
North Huron Farm Management
Association, released at the same
lime, reveal an average farm
income of $3,273 and an average
labor income of $1,792.
The analyses were compiled by
the farm economics branch of
the Ontario Department of Agri-
culture from records of receipts
and expenditures provided by the
members of the two farm man-
agement associations in t h e
county which have been operat-
ing for two years.
While the pro,iect is 'prepared
especially for the co-operating
farmers. the collective analysis
is available to other farm oper-
ators and agriculturalists to de-
termine what is happening to
farm businesses. Officials point
out, however, that the figures are
not necessarily representative of
all farm businesses but rather
are an accounting of the opera-
tion of .the farmers who are inter-
ested in the analysis of their bus-
iness.
For appreciation of the figures
the following definitions will be
useful:
Farm income — Total farm re-
ceipts including increases in cap-
ital less cash expenses. deprecia-
tion and value for family labor
(except the operator) worked on
the farm. This is the income to
the operator to make debt pay-
ments, to provide for family liv-
ing and savings.
Labor income — Faris income
calculated as above less an in-
terest charge of five percent on
operator's equity in the business.
This is the operator's return for
his labor and management. In.
addition the operator receives
the .use of the house, the car and
other products grown on the
farm and used by his family,
In the South Huron • analysis,
comparison is made between the
average incomes of the 18 farms
and the average of two of those
same farms with highest labor
income.
For the two top operators, the
farm income was 38,686, com-
pared to $4,754 for the average.
Labor income was more than
double — $6,056, compared to $2,-
816.
Among the South Huron farms,
the net income from cattle was
about double that of hogs or
poultry andthree times as much
as the income from crops.

initions of terms appear at bot-
