ton crop, and partly to lower
prices for most farm commodities.
Frank O. Black, agricultural
statistician here, recalled that
crop value rose steadily during
the war, reaching the record high
of $362 million in 1946, and grad-
declining since then.
:k prepared this summary
of crop values:
The principal cash crops of cot
ton, tobacco, commercial truck,
peaches and peanuts are valued
at $182 million. This is $60 mil
lion or one-fourth, less than the
worth of these crops in 1948.
Commercial truck crop volume
was about 15 per cent larger than
in 1949, but prices averaged some
what lower. The value of the 113
crops for which estimates are
made is placed at $9 million—
about 1 per cent belotf last year,
but 6 per cent above the average
the 1C
for
10 years 1938-47.

Only Irish potatoes, cabbage, to
matoes, lettuce and beets brought
in more money than last year.
These did not quite offset low
value for other truck crops.
Based on the December esti
mate of production and prices to
date, line cotton has the value of
$82 million dollars and seed $9.5
million. This is $64 million or 41
per cent less than the value of lint
and seed in 1948.
•The tobacco crop wrfs worth
more than $82 million. This is $6
million more than 1948 value and
second only to the $84 million
crop of 1946.
Corn produced is valued at $41
' million Just slightly less than last
year. Volume was up 11 per cent
but the price was lower.
The short wheat crop was worth
only $4 million, little more than
half the 1948 value and the low
est since 1941.
The oat'crop is valued at $14
million, slightly more than the
short crop of last year but the
lowest price and value since 1942
The sweet potato crop was
worth $9.3 million compared with
$9.2 million last year. Production
was up 12 per cent but the price
per bushel was moderately lower.
A short crop of peaches for the
second successive year brought
only about $7.4 million — nearly
one-fourth below last year ant
less than half the record value of
$16.7 million for the crop of 1945
The value of peanut production,
at $1.6 is down 19 per cent from
last year due to a smaller crop.
The price per pound was the
Business Enters
New Year With
Confident Feeling
• American business, taking heart
from the way it rode out the mild
recession of 1949, enters 1950 on
the graatest surge of confidence
in ten years.
Economists for industry and
government alike, with a rare
harmony of agreement, predict a
strong first six months for the
new year, with most forecasting
a slight and gradual decline for
the second hut They add it all
up to a year of„ continued boom
at levels equal to or only slightly
below prosperous 1949.
Business and government lead
ers generally echo publicly these
views of their economic special-
sts. Not since before the war have
they regarded a dawning year
ith such optimism. Even at the
leginning of 1948, which brqught
the peak of the postwar boom,
Precasts were clouded with fears.
Now warnings of possible
trouble ahead are barCly audible
amid the cheer. They point main
ly to dangers of further inflation,
and usually are coupled with
criticism of the federal govern
ment’s spending and deficit fi
nancing programs. But even here,
he omens are seen as not likely
to become reality until some time
after 1950.
The New Year confidence is
iased not only on large order
backlogs in many industries and
continuing strong consumer de
mand, but also upon the convic
tion that we had our long-feared
and long planned-for postwar
readjustment in the mind reces
sion of 1949.
Until now postwar forecasting
has been sobered with the reali
ration that an adjustment
d to
F; /
necessary and bounc
was
come, and
that it micht be severe. The his
tory of 1920-21, the period
sharp readjustment by many
be prepeated.
Many experts now feel that no
shakedown beyond that of 1949 is
necessary, and that we can move
along at a busy clip for an in
defenite time.
The good business forecast for
1950 should bring continued good
times for the average citizi
There will be, as there were in
1949, variations by both indus
tries and regions hurting some
people more than others. A family
head without a job or a business
man closing up shop has hard
times no matter how prosperous
the country as a whole may be.
The cost of living is expected
to drop a little in 1950, with food
down, rent up, and clothing and
taxes about the same.

Total crop volume was nearly

period.
The smaller outturn was due
mostly to short crops of cotton,

"Also in reply to questions he
revealed that it was expected that
ultimately a white Orion fiber
would be made, but that bleach

the company was not prepared to
say whether the recently intro
duced Vat-Craft process of dye

would solve the Orion dyeing
problem, but said it opened in
teresting possibilities.
"Napping of woven fabrics gave
