1952 US Farm Economies And Global Affairs
A collage of 1952 issues covers farm purchasing power and land values, jet aviation advances, Korean peace talks deadlock, proposed flood disaster insurance, and awards for major newspapers. The piece notes farm output costs, government estimates of farm purchasing power, and total land value rising above 1920 levels, along with rising marketing margins and farm income trends. It also highlights the advent of jet airliners, the Korean War stalemate on repatriation and airfield rights, President Truman’s flood insurance proposal, and St. Louis Post-Dispatch Pulitzer recognition.
