Farm Income in Mason Co,nty Shows Increase [ NE%V YO[I&apos;,:  Special .... \\;]i'arm I production was at a high level in Mason C(mnty in the past year. de- spite the fact l.hai a considerable amount of land was kept out of use llndei' tile Goveran]en|'s cut- back program. The remflt, of the year's ope'a- tions, locally and in all other coun- ties in the United States. are de- tailed in the annual survey made by the Standard Rate and Data Service. IN MASON COUNTY, it shows. ross farm income came to $1,- 042.000 in the year. It wa.n $976,- 000 in 1961. The amount represents total re- ceipts from all sources. It does not take into account the cost of do- ing business or taxes. The bulk of this income came from the sale of farm goods. Oth- er items included in the total were Government payments and "in- come in kind," which is the value of the home-grown products that were consumed on the farm. Approximately 22 percent of the income from farm marketings was from the sale of crops and 78 per- cent from the sale of livestock. poultry and dairy, products. The figures are from the Department of Agriculture. The nation's farmers made some progress in the past year, accord- ing to the annual report. They showed an increase of nearly four percent in net income even though they had at their disposal the smallest planted acreage so far this century. In part, the rise was due to the fact that Government payments were about $250 million larger than in 1961. FOR THE FARM population of Mason County, the gToss income of $1,0i2,000 that was accounted for locally was at the rate of $1.045 per farm resident. It com- pares with $976 Ider person the year before. The reason that farmers made out as well as they did was be- cause they found ways and means to step up their production. <:::::..'."" :":"%"' With more farm machinery at their command and with a nlore intensive use of fertilizers, they turned out a record per-acre yield for many crops. The trend toward high cultiva- tion continues. Farm equipment dealers report that they are sell- ifig bigger tractors, mo'e self-pro- pelled combines and more two-row corn pickers. As a result, crop p1oduction ts year seems to be headed toward another record. .. Toastmasters Elect R LETI?Et': lEAD IT REPRESENT YOUR S AS IT IS TODAY? Your letterhead is Important.

Number Getting Age Assistance Shows Decline Among the many programs ad- ministered by the Department of Public Asistance, Irvin McAr- thur, administrator of the Mason County welfare office, called at- tention today to the Old Age As- sistance program which has reach- ed the lowest caseload point in history. "While improvements can be made in helping the older folks with their many problems, such as more adequate housing," McAr- thur said, "I think the people o[ Washington can be proud, as 1 am. of accomplishments made over the past 30 years." Even if they do not have the income or resources, after a life- time of struggling, the aged peo- ple are assured they will receive sufficient money on a regular basis to enable them to live in health and decency in their homes. The bleak era in which im- poverished aged people were sent to county poor farms vanished from the Washington scene 10ng ago, but it as i.ecefftly enougn that many of us still remember them, McArthur said. Open to any Washing-ton rein- dent over 65 years of age, regard- less of color, creed or national or- igin, the program requires only that recipients have lived five out of the last nine years in Washing- ton and one year immediately pre- ceding application, are in need and have met other eligibility fac- tors. McArthur pointed out that the principal criterion for elegibility is the inability of the individual to provide for his basic needs. If the income through whatever source available to such a person does not meet the budgetary stan- dards of the department, a month- ly gTant is computed and sent reg- ularly to the recipient so long as there is no change in his personal income. In tribute to expansion of So- cial Security coverage, pension plans and ability of people to save for their future, the numbers re- ceiving Old Age Assistance stea- dily has been declining, despite a contir.uing increase in the state's aged population. For instance, McArthur pointed out, the total population in Wash- ington increased 20 percent from 1950 to 1960, but tte population of those over 65 years of age ha- creased 22 percent They now num- ber about 280.000. In May of 1953, recipients o[ Old Age Assistance totalled 68,- 106 statewide, compared to a to- tal of 35,492 persons as of [ay, 1963, plus another 8,000 aged pe- ople cared for in nursing homes under the department's Medical Assistance to the Aged program. "The present OAA caseload not only is the lowest in Washington's history," McArthur said," "but this is true also in Mason county. "The caseload in Mason County now is 177." McArthur oberved that the cost of caring for elderly pereons in need has not been declining pro- portionately with ,the caseload. This is because the average age of OAA recipients continually has bee,, adz a nciAlff. Suspended Sentence Given Parole Violator Brian J. Heath. 28. Seattle, was given a suspended sentence a sec- ond time in Mason County Super- ior Court on a charge of second degree burglary Friday. Heath pleaded guilty to seconct degree burglary in connection with a break-in of a Shelton home July 12, 1957 and was given a suspend- ed sentence at that time.
