Twin-lens refle.s users inci­

sunshine, discard that fast film you have been .using throughout the winter—choose a’ fl(m in the 80—125 A.S.A. range, which has a fine grain, and is capable of providing negatives which can be enlarged to sizes that sur­ prise you.

Fridge sales increase


I N the food storage league table In Britain—in the U.K.


44 per cent of the people have refrigerators in the home — London leads with n 69 per cent ownership, followed by the developing south ■with 58 per


cent. Third place in the table goes


0 the families of East Anglia with 55 per cent ownership. Yorkshire is t h e ' l^ t refridg- erator-minded with only 27 per cent, while Scotland tags along at the bottom of the table with


28 per cent. Tliese are a few ° f flte food facts revealed as the result of


1 a recent survey. Although people are now


spending more than £5,557 mil­ lion a year on food, or an aver­ age of 39s. 6d. a head per iveek (the range goes from 60s. down to 12s. a week), only 26 per cent


of tile household expenditm-e is on food as compared 'with 30 per


cent in 1938. Other shopping facts revealed


by the smTcy show tliat Britain, with one food shop for every 193 members of the population, has a higher proportion than any other country In the world. And, adds the repoi’t, it the


traditional British summer has not been able to render the lar­ der obsolete, the development of central heating, now in seven per cent of tlie homes, should certainly do so. Refrigerator ownership in the U.K. has increased.by about 10 per cent in the past two years.

Survey of farm managements


'pH E results of a survey of about 2,000 farms, showing their cropping and stocking, revenue, expenditure find

this sm-vey form' part of the economic and financial data taken hito account at the Annual Review which has just been completed. The figures arc of particular


interest in showing the trend of income from one year to the next for different types and sizes of farm. A speeding up of the proces­


sing of the farm accounts has made possible the publication of the Farm Incomes Report at the same time as the Annual Review White Paper. The report docs not show


the cm-rent position of farm mcomes. The financial infor­ mation presented in it relates


to a period completed about 12 months ago. The results for 1964 are based on f a rm accounts closing in tlie main between December 31, 1964,


and March, 31, 1965. They therefore cover tlie 1964 har­ vest year which was generally favom-able f o r agriculture. Corresixmding figures are not yet available for the 1965 har­ vest year which, largely because of the bad weather, is not expected to show as favourable


results. The sample results for 1964


show an average increase in the MORE KILLED


net income of the 2,000 farms of almost 30 per cent compared with the previous year. Incomes on the foiu- main tjTies of farm­ ing improved substantially bet­ ween 1963 and 1964. Incomes on dairy farms rose by 38 per cent to £1,340 per 100 acres. This was primarily the result of a higher output from milk and cattle, reflecting higher prices for these commodities, .which more than offset an increase in expenditure. Liestock farms benefited from


higher prices for cattle and sheep and average net incomes rose by 58 per cent to £595 per


100 acres. Sheep and cattle reai'ing


farms in the hill and upland areas of the country recovered from the losses incurred dm-ing the severe winter of 1962-63; lambing percentages i-eturned to normal and less supplemen­ tary winter feedhig was needed. Good results from cereal


growing were a major factor behind the 20 per cent improve­ ment in average net incomes on mixed farms in 1984 when mcomes rose to £1,150 per lOO acres. Mixed farms with a dairy herd gained as result of the higher milk prices, although in some ai’eas, and particularly in the southern half of the coun-


itry, this was partly offset by increased e.xpenditure on pur- oliased feeding stuffs during the prolonged spell of dry weather in the latter part of the grazing


season.
