EBLING, Agricultural Statistician S. J. GILBERT, Assistant Agricultural Statistician G. T. GUSTAFSON. Junior Statistician Vol. X1ii, No. 4 State Capitol, Madison, Wisconsin April, 1934 APIZIELIMINARiY e-tlmate of thle Agross farm Income in Wisconsin for 1933 shows a total of $205,691,000. This is, a little over 21 million dollars above the revised estimate for 1932 but still 53 million dollars under 1931 and less than half of the high point of post-war farmi income reached in 1929. Tlhe Iii- itex of agricultu ial income for W isconl- sin in 193:3 is, 92.8 percent of the 1910- 14 average compared with 83 Per'cent Iin 1932. While there has been some ilallrox ~ment during the past year, the iiieiu,iiit 1v,- of agriculture is still 11niuch lower than it has been at any one ti ne in the, iast 20 yeairs excepit in 1932. Thel 12 porc cut increase in gross farm I icolat of 1933 over 19142 is mostly due to soria'- imnroveiflleiL in the~ prices of niitll lnid crops. The lix estock income otlicr thian inilk shows little change 'oni thle precvi ous year .
