Farmers Predicament Dire Meredith Urges Prompt Aid

421, 100000 bushels stand cut as high marks while tie apple produc- ton Of 6,000,000 bushels has been exceeded only once.
 Ut ousbt to be fact" MT. Mere lith continued, that when the farms of the country produce abundantly, the consuming public will be liber- ally supplied with food at reason able prices, the farmer taking his profit because of large production and the consumer receiving his in crement of benefit from having an adequate supply at a reasonable cost.
 Tn general, we should expect it to be true that the farmers condi- tion is improved in direct propor- tion to the number of bushels of wheat or corn or the number ot bales of cotton he produces. It ire quontly happens, however, that when all farmers have eXtraordi- narily good crops during the same year low prices leave him worse off than he has been in other years with short crops and high prices.
 Huge Shrinkage Told.
 This year. Mir Meredith said, hign prices for farm products continued until they were Ready to sell, when the price reduction set in, covering everything the farmers had to sell and materially affecting nothing they were compelled to buy.
 "The years output, produced at m abnormally high cost" the Sec retary added, "is worth at current prices $3,G00, 0,000,000 less than the smaller crop of 1919 and $1,000,000 less than the still smaller crop of 1918. The best estimate that can now be made indicates that the total value of animal products in 1920 is $8,757, 100000 or about $200, 100000 less than in 1919.
 There is probably no other in- dustry or business that could suffer . similar experience and avoid in- solvency "
