MONEY DECLINE UPSETS
 FARMING HERE
GN- g. Darymen's League.)


 The rapid decline of exchange value of foreign money is upsett,ng business and trade conditions. The English pound sterling reached the lowest mark in it's history on February 4 when it dropped to $3.1S- It closed on Saturday at $3 34. IA The value before the war was S4.S5- The money of several other. Eimepean countries has dropped even more in scompari- son with the American dollar than the English pound
 As a. result of the exchange sitra- ton the stock market is off and practically every business affected directly or indirectly by export con- ditions is slowing up A few months ago it was impossible to get sufficient shipping space for exporting. Now there is too much, and ocean freight rates are declining 2 Farmers are hard hit by the decline of foreign money Urged to produce hsaw11y to feed the world, they find after paying high prices for material and labor needed to produce, that they must sell in many cases the pro ducts at heavy loss Many of the pork and beef producers of the cen haI west have been nearly ruined Dairynen throughout the ws1o1e coun- try are now producing milk at a bss-s
 The result to the country and to the world is serious for 1t means curtai1- n1ent of production when the world is in most need of supplies There is no lack of desire to buy American products in Europe, but only inabil- fty to do so because of the decline of their credit Farmers like other business men cannot long produce at a loss. They cannot compete with other industries in hiring labor The result Is that in. a large number of cases there will be planted this spring only what the farmer and his own family can care for without hiring and without investing too heavily in seeds, fertilizer and machinery A questionnaire recently sent out by the United States Post Office De- partnent to several hundred thous- and farmers showed general trend of farm population to the city, and plans for general and large decrease in production for the coming season.

BUSINESS MAN
 IS DOUBTFUL OF
 SPAIN'S FUTURE
Madrid Merchant Would Hang Half of Spanish Politicians.

Madrid, Spain, Feb. 12--@Haf the politicians in Spain ought to be hanged, ,y a, Spanish business man here said the other day. Spanish people are inclined Sto be pesssimisties they stalse gloomy, joy in running down their own country, but, even dis counting this trait the 1nan made out aegood case4
 z His eontehtion was that Spain, which is now aorirnfuI of prosperity as 8 result of the war, will be thrown back into her pre-war decay and spdr- tfessness lbecMuse tho greater part of her energies will be turned toward politics. It is only because the wsrld is in an absolutely abnormal state, he ,declaretd, that Spain is now overflow ing with naehey, attracting to her cities: ID busstfxsss, men from GtSher coun- tries, including the United States, eagsf to get in touch with Spanish business mem and put through deals for future trade between Spain and their respective countries.
 s=As- soon as things become normal again, he prophesied, with a knowing wag of his head, the peseta, the unit of Spanish coinage, which is now at a premium aN oyer the world, will drop again, the boom in business, at present so apparent fn Spain, will ab- ruaotly stop, and Spain will beeorne what she vvas before t914---a country listlesS and apsthstic in everything except politics-and 'buM fighting, the pessinlist conceded glooInity-
