Regional income gaps shrink as migration and industry rise
The Commerce Department reports that moving off farms and retirements to warmer climates have narrowed regional income gaps since 1929. The Far West and Mideast lead, while the Southeast trails, though margins have lessened. Northern retirees add Social Security and savings, boosting income alongside industry shifts. Per capita income rose from 1929 to 1981, with the Southeast at 86 percent of the national average and the Far West at 111 percent, while Alaska and Hawaii appear as new entrants in 1981.

U S Soviet grain pact gains mixed farm support
Kansas farm groups and grain traders welcomed Reagan expansion of the Soviet grain offer and a contract sanctity provision but criticized the moves as not enough. The plan would lift the ceiling to 23 million tons with 180 days of contract sanctity, while some said subsidies or a longer sanctity period were needed. Farm leaders warned Soviets may source grain elsewhere and that exports require more government support.
