Great Year for Farmer.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Oct. 1.-THE
American farmer has never seen such
a widespread period Of agricultural
prosperity as that of the present year,
President H. E. Stockbridge told dele
gates to the annual meeting Of the
Farmers National congress here this
afternoon.
He pointed out that the great staple
crops had all been abundant If not
large and prices were high. Though
the farmer still fails to receive his
fair share of the consumers dollar,
the milk producers of New York,
wheat growers of Minnesota, the hog
raisers of the corn belt and the cotton
growers of the south are too busy
counting profits to worry much over
the other fact, he said.
