hot pepper plants, young okra, full

Mr.. Shriyer has about abandoned
trucking because of his health, and
devotes most of his time to strawber

acre in bearing. These now are III
full bloom, and unless the fruit later
is killed by freeze he will have

often has had Some Of the berry
vines are covered with straw and will
thus withstand a heavy freeze.

6uICAGO, Dec. oil ne DuSiileSo
outlook is that 1922 will be a much
better year than 1921.
Business depression began with
lhe collapse of the silk market in
May, 1929. After 20 months on the
downgrade, the basic industries, with
exception Of farming, seem definitly
on the mend.
The bottom of depression was
reached in July, 1921, when iron and
steel - the key industry began
climbing.
Prices Lower.
Price deflation made rapid strides
during 1921.
Striking an average in the whole
sale markets, you now can buy for
$1.48 what cost 81 in 1913 and $2.72
in May, 1920, the peak of initiation.
The figure was SLIT in January,
1921.
Cost of living also deflated mate
rally during 1921. The wage Garner
now pays about $163 to get what cost
him 500 before the war, $2O5 in
July, 1920, and $181 in January,
1921.
Wholesale prices Of farm products
have dropped most, with metals and
metal products second
The short cotton crop boosted the
price. in 1921. This was counter
balanced by slump in wheat and corn
prices. Average farm prices arc only
about 10 per cent higher than III
1918.
Exports Grow.
Total American exports slumped
from .$8,228,454,014 in 1920 to about
$4,50O,000,000 in 1921.
The falling off, however, was most
ly due to lower prices.
In weight or volume of business,
exports of raw materials in 1921 in
creased "a per cent over 1920. Ex-
ports Of foodstuffs gained 81 per
cent. Manufactured goods decreased
per cent in weight.
Rapid Changes.
During 1921, banks that are mem
'bers of the Federal Reserve System
reduced their loans about $4,000
100000.
Bank clearings in United States
during 1921 totaled around $780,
ooO,O00,000. This was about % per
cent less than 1920, due largely to
lower prices. Clearings in 1921,
however, were more than twice as
much as in 1918.
The steel industry starts the new
year, running SO per cent capacity.
Last Jaly it was down to Is per cent
capacity. Steel men look for the
hcXt, boom to start with heavy buy
Irg by the railroads.
Americas gold stock increased
S00O,000,0o0 in 1921.
Building is 45 per cent better than
year ago, expressed in money spent.
Much larger, allowing for price re-
ductions.
New Companies.
New companies Incorporated dur
ing 1921 had total capital stock Of
about $7,700,OO0,000.
Nearly $4,000 business firms fail
ed during 1921. That's more than
twice as many as in 1920, also great
est since 1915.
In rough figures, railroads in 1921.
moved 80 cars of freight for. 81 in.
1920 and "a in 1919.
