An examination of this table
shows that since the first of jan
uary there have been only five In
stances when any of these farm
products purchased 100 per cent as
much as during the prewar period.
These cases were wheat in March,
eggs in January and February and
butter in April and May. 1t must
be remembered that there are hg-
ures for the entire United states
and there are many instances
where due to local conditions, the
purchasing power of these crops
were far below the levels indicated
by these figures.
The restoration of the farmers
buying power can come only
through the adjustment of whole
sale prices to |the prices Of. farm
products. Wages, freight rates, re-
tail prices, and farm prices must
all be adjusted to the general price
level. The reduced cost OF the
crops being harvested this fall Will
do much to restore farm buying
power but there is also involved
the attitude of the farmer concern
ing prices of the things ne mas
purchased.

The statistical story of the farm
depression of the past months has
been most effectively summarized
by DR.. G. F. Warren. in Bulletin
ee9, issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture. In
tracing the history of the prices of
farm products in the United States
since the period of the civil war
he has shown the intimate relation
which the decline in farm prices
bore and Is now bearing to the
general business depression. The
story of 1912 and 1866 has been
repeated in 1920 with striking sim
ilarity.
In the last instance, however, the
drop in prices was the most violent
ever experienced. with agricultural
prices dropping so much more than
other prices, causing far-reaching
oppression. The effect of the farm
depression was felt more keenly
than ever before because of the fact
that since the time of the civil war
farmers have become much more
Important as purchasers of indus
trial goods and the interrelation
between agricultural prosperity has
become more closely involved.
The reasons for the great de-
mand for credit for agriculture In
larger sums than ever before men,
toned are explained as follows:
During the period of rising prices
all the channels of trade tend to
become fully stocked, everyone
tends to buy in advance of his
needs, credit needs are large for
the wholesale. manufacturing anc
retail agencies. Farmers then need

IN FARM PRICES
> A CAUSE OF UNEMPLOYMENT
Farmers Still on Low Buying Level and More
Price Adjustment is Demanded.


the minimum OF credit because they
can sell readily.
when prices are falling the ten
dency to buy for immediate needs
only forces farmers to hold large
quantities of produce while waiting
for a market. and this sudden shift
of credit needs accentuated the
agricultural panic"
Since the gross volume of farm
production had increased so greatly
over the civil war period, the credit
requirements were alsb mucn
greater than anticipated. amounting
to hundreds of millions of dollars
for commodities that had hereto
fore acquired but little credit In
recent years for marketing pur-
poses. With descending prices the
trade reservoirs which ordinarily
absorb farm production as rapidly
as II moves to market, were not
utilized.
Even allowing for the drop In
wholesale prices. farmers can now
buy only about two-thirds OF their
usual amount and in large areas
at centers of production their buy
ing power is not half of the normal.
When farmers can not buy, manu-
facturers can not sell, and unem-
nloyment results. Consumption
among factory workers decreases
and one difficulty aggraVates the
other, resulting in the great decline
in purchases.
A comparison of the buying
mower of leading farm products
in yearly averages since 1910 and by
months during 1921 is presented In
the following table:
The Washington herald., 1921-10-13
The sIight increases that arc oc-

The slight increases that are oc-
curing in farm products at the
present time will not stimulate
large buying since the farmers feel
that the prices of the supplies that
they buy must undergo a greater
decline than they have yet exper-
fenced. The disposition to econom-
ize, resulting from being compelled
to do so, will be reflected in re-
duced buying by farmers for con-
siderable period to come. DIR. War
rem says: when prices are high 1t
is difficult to avoid being too op-
timistic. When prices are low II
is equally difficult to avoid becom-
ing too much discouraged. Many
business failures are primarily fail
ures of courage"
The agriculture of America Will
recover" he concludes. But in the
meantime many individual farmers
have lost all their savings. Many
farmers cannot avoid failure, but
courage and perseverance will carry
many others through seemingly i'm
possible conditions and do much to
bring back normal times. The in
Jury is most serious for young men
who began farming as tenants or
owners in the past few years"
