business situation which must have
very telling effect.
The farmers this year are going to be
prosperous. Last year western farmers
were in good shape and southern farm
ers were trying TO get on solid ground
by close economy. This year western
farmers, with their magnificent corn
crop and a fair wheat yield, added to
higher prices for live stock, will be in
clover, and their southern brethren will
wind up the season with less debt and
more spending money on hand than for
sore years.
