 BANKERS WOULD AID
 Discussing apprehension on the part of farmers as to their current indebt- edness, Governor Harding said that in his opinion if the farmer would go to his banker and make frank statement of his condition, agreeing to make or derly sales of his products as the mar ket develops he would be able to make arrangements for present pressing needs and for the requirments of an- other season.
 q shall not undertake to predict the course of prices, but I will say that prices are relative and that barring shortages prices of all commodities rise and fall together" he added. While the decline in prices of the goods She farmer has to buy has not been com mensurate with the slump which has taken place with respect to his own products, there is every reason to be- lieve hat within a short time inequali- ties will adjust themselves-eithe he price of farm products will advance CT the price of goods will decline Thus, in the extent that there is no substan- tial improvement in the price of farm products, it seems certain that the cost of producing next years crop will be greatly reduced"
 Warning against advocating meas ures for temporary relief without con- sidering their ultimate results, Gov ernor Harding declared

cleanup of stocks of the 1919 Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Connecti-
cut is practically complete. | think it
perfectly safe to say that with the ex-
ception of Gebhardt, practically the en-
tire 1919 crop of domestic cigar leaf to-
baccos is either in the hands of the
manufacturers or the New York deal
ers. / do not say that there may not
be lull of two or three months be-
| fore this activity in the domestic filler
| market develops to its full intensity
But it will come.
