FARM SITUATION The results of a survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City of 105 "country banks" whose customers are pri marily farmers, showed that the drops in farm income are being reflected in bank deposits. De mand deposits in these banks decreased by 8.1 per cent for the year ended October 5; savings deposits increased by 4 per cent, while total deposits for the year registered a drop of 6.4 per cent. MORE WIDOWS THAN WIDOWERS On the national average, wom en live 6 years longer than their husbands and are about 3 years younger, making a 9-year dif ference in the life expectancies of average couples. Thus 13 per cent of women are widows while only 4 per cent of men are widowers. Add this to the tates, large and rmall, to their fact that men leave their ex widows and you see why so much of the nation's wealth is in the hands of women.
