essarily a slow process, especially
in these times of great business in
stability and labor unrest. The
1919 farm crops have practically
all been marketed. The only way
that prices can be brought down
before next years crops begin to
find their way to market is through
deflation of the currency. AS
pointed out above, still further in
flations are inevitable if Europe
is to rehabilitate her industries so
that she can increase her supply of
material goods and thus bring about
lower prices by increasing goods
and decreasing debts.
Some business men are apprehen-
sive that the United States will be
flooded with European made goods
which will bring prices down tum-
bling. The price of foreign ex-
change at the present moment is
such as to make it highly profitable
for American business men to buy
large quantities of goods in Europe.
especially in Germany and Austria,
If European countries only had the
goods to sell. Not until Europe
has rehabilitated its industries may
We expect to have our markets
flooded with European goods. That
puts off the tumble in prices sew
eral years. The normal seasonal
drop in prices may be expected in
1920. This seasonal drop comes
much earlier than is generally sup
posed In normal times the low
price level for all commodities COM
bined comes in March, April or May.
These seasonal price changes are
relatively small and have but little
effect upon the housewives expen-
ditures. No great and sudden fall
in prices seems possible for long
time.
People generally are yearning so
intently.for lower prices that they
have not thought much about the
results of falling prices. The prices
we kicked about in 1913 have come
to be regarded as ideal. Untold
distress has been caused by the
rapid price increase of the past four
years. The sufferings already en-
dured by the people through rising
prices will be multiplied tenfold II
prices drop within the next seven
years to the 1913 level. A period
of falling prices is always a time of
business depression, failures and
Production should be speeded up
to the limit and debts should be
paid not with more debts but with
economic goods and services. These
processes should be set in motion
without delay. 1t will require sew
eral years to readjust industry and
trade on firm basis again. In the
the United States Gov
ernment should, in my Judgment,
join with the other leading gov
ernments of the world in the crea-
ton of an international commits |
sion to study ways and means of |
setting up a true and relatively |
standard of value to dis

Not a Full Crop.

Editor Register-I notice in your
last issue a statement said to come
from me to the effect that there is a
very large crop of peaches and apples
on my farm. I am sorry to have to
ask you to correct this, for unfor-
tunately this is not SO. Indeed we
have less peaches than a year ago.
The shortage is mainly in freestones
which were in full bloom at Easter
when the freeze came, and our apple
crop we estimate at about 35 per
cent of a full crop.
From Government reports I learn
that the outlook for Missouri Is near
like last year for apples.
