HOUSE SHORTAGE

Except in a few Isolated Instances
rents have not come down in Connec-

prospect of their being reduced, ac-
cording to a canvass of the princi-

few housing corporations have an

cent in rentals, out the instances con-
stitute too small percentage of

where that shortage of housing
needs will have to be relieved be-
fore there is a chance of rents be-
ing lowered. and there is no imme-

MUST MEET FARMERS INCOME
II. }. Hodge Te,ls lesSlsmsnt Makers
Seme P1atn Facts


Chicago, Oct. b.---H. ]. Hodge, Sec
retary, In his report to the National
Federation Of implement Associations
this morning told the delegates some
plain facts: about conditions. He
summarized the business situation,
fortified by over 80 letters from
dealers In all parts Of the middle
west. ......H
"The fate Of the dealer and Of the
manufacturer" said he, ':.rests In the
hands Of the ultimate consumer-the
farmer. His attitude we must con-
slider. His mood today. as It has been
for months, Is one Of revolt; that Is,
he Is determined that retail prices
must be reduced to meet the price
level Of his own products. He may
not be able I'd live up entirely to his
position, but his intention is SO to do.
1t Is fair to say that the course taken
by the manufactures, though at the
time doubtless seemed to them as an
one and all the sacrifice they
deemed possible, failed to meet the
idea. II price reductions
made during the year had all come
at one time at the beginning Of 1921,
instead Of piecemeal, it might have
resulted in greater volume Of bust
ness. Certainly 1t would have had a
helpful psychological effect on the
farmer, would have impressed him as
an effort to meet his situation more
fully and, which is Of as much i'm
portance, would have quieted the
frenzied writer's for a certain class
of farm papers whose editors have
been diligent in spreading propagan-
da calculated to keep the producers
mind In a state Of ferment
"That experiment should be a guide
to the future. 1t applies not only to
business, but to trade of all kinds.
Half way measures will not serve.
Whatever is to be done should be
frankly and fully performed. Then,
and in my opinion not until then,
shall we see true revival Of busi-
ness In this country.
Primarily, of course, to Its full
recovery must be such revival In
farm prices as will give fair profit
to the producer. All other signs,
many Of them merely misleading de-
misunderstanding house figures, bank
deposits, pig iron output, stock
market transactions are Of small
moment compared with the daily
story of the movement of farm pro-
ducts and the price they bring. The
chronicle of happenings in the imple-
ment world, as well as In other In
dustries, will reflect the story Of farm
progress as the night follows the
day. Until that comes, and even
while such recovery is in progress, we
must be prepared to exert our fullest
endeavor In establishing the conf
dence of the producer in our good
and our sincerity Of pur-
pose"
