FIVE l. SHORT.

The department of agriculture pre-
scnts figures to show hat with the
greatest aggregate crop in history,
the farm products Of the United
States this year are worth some five
billion dollars less than the like pro-
ducts of 1919. although the 1919
crop was materially less in volume.
The treasury department estimates
that the government will need for the
ensuing year about four billion dol
lars with which to meet current ex-
penses and maturing obligations. 1t
appears, therefore, that in. some way
or other there has been destroyed
enough ofssthc country's wealth IN this
single class of products to meet the
entire 0 s Of operating the govern
mcnt for a year, together with interest
on its outstanding Indebtedness, and
to leave over a handsome surplus for
another yea
Is that correct? Are the growers
of wheat and cotton and fruits and
tobacco. and the producers of cattle

really five billion dollars worse off
than they were? And is the country
in c~onseauence that much poorer?
a country's wealth does not lie in
its prices. 1t exists III the form Of
goods, The more goods tho country
disappointed they are of the kind
that it necds-thc richer it is. Prices
affect the real wealth Of the country
only as they affect the ability Of the
country to exchange it's surplus for
commodities which it must obtain
abrc I'd. But inasmuch as we con-
sumo at home but an insignificant in
flucnce IN the real wealth Of the coun-
try at large. Taking the country as u
is better off to the extent that its
agricultural products exceed in quar-
tity the products Of q year ago.
When we. consider the question as
it affects separate groups, it is evil
dent that if farm products have
shrunk five billion dollars and all
other goods have remained stable,
the farmers have suffered a loss of
five billion dollars as compared with
the rest of the population. The farm
ars in that case would be able to buy
with their products only about two
thirds as much OF oth.r goods as they
could q year ago. In that case the
farmers would have lost five billions

would have gained it.
a survey of the markets demon
strate5 that this condition does not
exist. The market has been a falling
one all around. In some lines the
reduction has bcLn greater than in
the -veragc OF farm products, and in
some cases less. Just how the ave-
ages would compare requires an an
alysis such as experts alone are able
to give. But inasmuch as it is unde-
niable that there has been a very ma
tcrial reduction in the prize. Of COM
Dodities in general, it is evident that
the loss which the department points
out is more apparent than real.
The condition which really embar-
rasses the farmer is that he has pro-
duced this crop in a season of extra
ordinarily high costs, and he must
SSH it on a falling market. That en-
tails actual or relative loss. In this
respect the farmers condition is that
