Because the cost of what the farmers buy has gone up in that period, they have been caught in a squeeze that has pushed net farm income down 27%. But another factor has tended to ease the blow. As a result of technological improvements on the farms and increased job opportunities in cities, farm population has decreased. Consequently, the per capita net income on the farm has been held to a 7% drop since 1951. It is actually...

Eastman Kodak President Albert K. Chapman showed a pretty picture to stockholders: he reported new highs...
...Confidential continues to use the mails and increase its circulation, already the largest in news-stand sales of any magazine in the country.
