From the view of the theory, public finance expenditure effectted on farmers' income by two ways: (1) Improved the health and knowledge level of farmers by the social expenditure, then improved the human capital accumulation, expand capacity and the opportunities and abilities of getting more income for farmers. Meanwhile, provieded the social security for those low income farmers by the redistribution of social expenditure.(2) Promoted the growth of agricultural economy by investing in agriculture, rural infrastructure and agricultural science and technology.The relevant statistics of 1978 to 2009 of China were used to make empirical analysis, the results showed that public finance expenditure had great effects on peasants increase income.
