Good

Washingt li.-Freely and
frankly disc ssl the present plight
of the American farmer, Secretary
Wallace tells the President in his
first annual report today that there
Seems to be good reason for believ-
ing that the worst is over and that
we may reasonably hope for gradual
improvement from now on" He adds
that "a clear recognition of the con-
ditions as they exist should help Us
to realize this hope
In large part the troubles of the
farmer today are due to worldwide
conditions and the inevitable result
of the World War, the Secretary OF
Agriculture says. adding that it is
not TO be expected that by some
miraculous Transformation" the per
iod of adversely may be turned over
night into period of prosperity.
High freight rates, big crops pro-
duced in the face Of high costs, anem-
ployment in other industries in the
country with attendant lcsscning in
buving OF foodstuirs, and the lack of
foreign markets for the farm surplus
are given by the Secretary a the
more immediate causes of present
conditions in agriculture. He lays
particular stress upon the lack of
foreign markets and high freight
rates

culture is depressed until the rates
are lowered or until population and

dition"
The Secretary thinks that when the
country finally energies from the
present condition ii will find itself at
the beginning of new agricultural
era. Pointing to the large increase
in the country's population and the
fact that most of the easily cultlva-
ted land has been taken up, he says

he department is planning to
meet new conditions, Mr.. Wallace
continues, by strengthening certain
phases of its work.
In his address of present condi-
tions, Mr.. Wallace asserts that the
difficulties of the farmers are a mat
tor of national concern and one that
should be given attention by every
thoughtful citizen.
I'VE must accept the cold fact" he
says, that agricultural production in
adequate measure cannot be con-
tinued for any length of time on Il
basis which does not give the pro-
ducer fair price" and proceeds to
show how inadequate prices to the
farmer lessen the nations buying
power. throwing men out of employ
ment and creating what he calls "a
vicious circle" that it is difficult to
break through.
Road Building Record Trebled.
Mr. Wallace says that during the
past year more improved roads were
built under the Federal Aid Road act
than during any similar period. the
mileage completed being more than
three times as great as the entire
mileage completed during the pre-
ceding years under the act Daring
the fiscal year, 1859 miles of high
ways were completed and 1897
miles were under construction.
Under a policy now being worked
out by the department, the Secretary
says. il is estimated that the two
national forests in Alaska can fur
nish peipetually 2,00o,OO0 cords Of
pulp wood annually. amounting to an
equivalent of one-third Of the present
annual consumption in this country.
