FARMER TRAPPED
IN VIClOUSC CIRCLE,
WALLACE AYERS
Buying Power of 1921
Crops Lower Than at
Any Time, He Says.

Dificulties under which farmers
are .laboring are of national COT.
Germ. in the opinion OF Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace.
The purchasing power Of 1921
crops 10 lower than at any time
in the history of the nation. Wal
lace said. and the farming industry
is in acute, distress.
The Secretary blamed the vicious
economic circle which we are hav-
ing dificulty in breaking through
for the plight of the farmers ana
general depression.
Wallace discusses the agricultural
situation In his annual report. just
published The worst'period. he be-
lieves, is over, and a gradual i'm
,pruvement from, now on is expected;
but Rrices remain below the cost OF
production in most instances.
The 1920 crops. Wallace pointed
out were produced at high costs
and sold-in allow market Crops OF
this year, also, sold at low prices.
Farmers who borrowed find them
selves in financial difficulties.
Gives Four Reasons.
Reasons for the situation. Wal
lace believes, are lack of foreign
demand, high freight rates, big
crops produced in the face of eX-
pensive production. and unemploy-
ment which lessened buying power.
Had some way been found for
the people In need TO buy our sur
lrt, u-hf oh -
the cost OF production the American
former would have been prosperous
and the county would hare pros
pered with him" said Wallace. 1T
is a terrible indictment of modern
civilization that with such abund-
ance here there are millions Of peo-
pie overseas suffering for the bare
necessities and other millions starry
ling to death.
! Soil supports 20 Per Cent.
And surely we are sadly lacking
in our understanding of economic
laws or in our adjustment TO them
when the production of bounteous
crops grown by the hard labor of
$4,000. 900 farmers and farm work.
ers and their families is permitted
to play such a large part in para
LlHE our anu
at home
Wallace went on TO say that
probably never before have our
farmers generally been compelled
to exchange their crops per sale unit
for such small amounts Of the
things they need"
When We remember that approx
'imately 40 per cent of all our people
live in the open country and are
dependent upon what grows out of
the soil, the baLeful effect upon the
nation OF reducing the purcha sing
power Of that 40 per cent so far
below normal Is obvious" Wallace
continued.
Practices Rigid Economy.
The farmer is compelled to prac-
tice the most rigid economy. to wear
his old clothes. to repair his old
chasing everything he can possibly
his family not alone Injuries. but
many OF the ordinary comforts of
life.
This IN turn has forced the mar
ufacturer to restrict his output to
the lessened demand, reducing his
own purchases of raw material. and
greatly reducing the number OF his
/ work men.
Men out OF work must live on
their savings and are il turn com
PEELED to practice economy by re-
/ ducing their own buying. and thus
still further restrict the farmers
market"
