Department Of Agriculture, IS q vivid
Of this fact. Taking the
five-year average before the war as
par or 100, the purchasing power OF
representative farm products IN June
Of this year was as follows
Corn 81, oats SO, barley 5S, wheat
go, rye 101, cotton 81, wool 58, tat
steers SO, sheep 66, hogs 81 hay %.
n In other words, a farmer would
have to give 100 bushels Of corn to
get the same amount Of staple goods
that he formerly purchased with 6l.
This low purchasing power, says the
bulletin, has made it impossible Tor
farmers to buy the normal amount Of
other things, and has been a con-
tributing cause Of unemployment.
One Of the conference committees
confirmed this statement in the fol-
lowing words:
t"Much of the industrial distress
and unemployment in the cities grows
out Of the fact that the prices re-
ceived by farmers enable them to
buy only about half as many manu-
factured products, at the prices asked,
as they purchased in normal times
*** In the case of farm imple-
ments the purchases have been re-
duced to one-third the amount bought
in previous years" !,
Our farm industry furnishes AZ
per cent. Of the consuming power Of
the country. A restriction Of that
consumptiye power must inevitably
make itself felt in unemployment
Here is something for capital and
labor to consider whenever they make
a stand against a lower price level
AS the committee said: in the In
lterest Of the great labor-employlng
Industries everything possible should
be done to place agriculture on a pro
per ratio Of exchange Of products
with other industries" ~

cow TESTING FACTS

The question "What are your cows
doing?" is being solved in all the
leading dairy sections. The following
has just been received from friend
in Wisconsin:
According to present indications
there will be as many official dairy
tests made this year in Wisconsin as
during the year just passed, and this
is due to the fact that most of the
farmers who are in the purebred
business realize the Importance of
having an official record on a cow"
says Roy T. Harris, superintendent
of dairy tests of the Wisconsin col
lege of agriculture.
"One would naturally think" he
continues, "that there would be a
falling off in the number Of tests
made because Of the present low
price of cattle, but recent sales have
shown the farmer that fairly good
record on cow will usually bring
20 to 30 per cent more than if there
were no record"
There will be some decrease in
the number of yearly tests made by
the Holstein breeders, but this will
be offset by corresponding Increase
Of seven-day testing. Most of the
breeders believe the yearly test is
better, but present financial condi-
tions are such that they will choose
the shorter test because the cost is
less than one-third Of the yearly test,
The comparatively low cost of feed
and labor is a stimulant for testing
for these two constitute a large part
Of the testing expense and in the last
few years have prevented many Of
the farmers from testing.
