sued by the canadian bank of commerce reviewing 1956 agricultural de velopments the letter reports that agriculture which failed to share the prolonged buoyancy of practically every other section of the economy in recent years seems likely to improve its show ing relative to the general busi ness level in 1956 by midyear figures for agricul tural income record an increase of 13 per cent over 1955 field crops are estimated to be of approxi mately the same volume as last year marektings of livestock and dairy products are higher and a four year decline in farm prices of agricultural products appears to have been halted though offset by an upswing in farm operating costs parhui larly because of a tight labour situation prices of canadian farm products as a whole strengthen ed by ibout 5

animal should also re sult in net gain to the farmer improvements in farming tcchni que in relation to field crops should bring a snowball effect as they are disseminated through out the industry and
