Exports of farm products in the
year ending June 80, amounted to
more than three billions of dollars,
about three times our national ex-
ports before the war, Cotton and
tobacco represented roughly about
billion live stock products over a
billion, and breadstuffs and miscel
laneous items about a billion. Our
farmers have always been prosper
GUS when there was a good foreign
demand for our products, and the
war period has been the most pros
porous in our history. j.,
But there are signs Of storm
The barometer of "foreign exchange"
has been falling for several months,
in a manner never known before in
time of peace. The business men who
carry on our foreign trade are TAX
ing extra insurance and watching
carefully to see that every trans
action they undertake will be able to
stand if storm breaks.
Europe cannot go on Indefinitely
buying our farm products at the
present date, because they will not
be able to pay the bills. When they
stop buying our prices will fall. The
governments Of Europe have been
borrowing money to import food, and
selling itat loss to the people in
their countries, to prevent Bolshev-
istic revolutions, but they have about
reached the limit of their ability to
borrow.
A moderate decline in our prices
of farm products must be expected,
but we ought to use our brains if
we care to prevent radical decline
that will unsettle business and bring
on trouble in this country. They will
raise more food for themselves in
Europe this year than they could
during the war, and this will moder-
ate their terrific hunger for Ameri-
can products. They have the ships
now to bring products from the trop-
les, which they, could not get during
the war. flI q, 2

In response TO the call of Manager

hundred representative prune growers

offices yesterday afternoon, the pur-
pose being to plsce before them amass

of President Mills of the company, who
spoke briefly Of the object of the con
ference. He then called upon Mr..
jerks who presented to the growers tho
great need of getting down to bust
ness basis in the matter of handling
their product. He emphasized the fact
that they needed to have their business
figured out as closely as to costs and
profits as the manufacturer and dealer.
It was very evident that some prune
men were operating on too narrow a
margin. aud the only means of guarding
against this was to keep G close check
upon operating expenses. Mr.. Copley
was asked to explain to the meeting
the chart made up from the response
to the QUESTIONABLE and he went on to
show how ccrtsin types of dryers and
certain. methods of operation resulted.
The growers discussed many points Of
