FARMER NETS $12,500 GROSS TO NET GOOD LIVING . The farmer who wants to have $5,000 in net earnings for family living must now plan on a gross income of around $12.- 500. D. F. Wilken, University of Illinois farm management specialist, reports that the gross figure has climbed steadily in recent years as costs have taken a greater part of total farm receipts. He figures gross income as total receipts less purchased feed and livestock. From 1947 to 1949 a farmer could earn $5,000 for family living with about $7,700 gross income. By 1950-53, about $9.- 100 was required. As a general guide, farmers should plan on a gross income about two to two-and-one-half times as large as the net income needed for family living, income taxes, interest, debt payment and savings, Wilken points out. These findings are part of the exhibit to be shown at the 19R0 University of Illinois Farm and Home Festival March 31 to April 2. This year's festival features ten exhibit stories showing opportunities for better farming and better living, a speaking program on timely topics, the Town and Country Art Show and other special features.
