HARDING SEES
BENEFIT FOR )
us FARMERS

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Belief that
the farmer will be among the first to
get substantial recognition in new
era of activity and proSperity," now
on the way was expressed by Presi-
dent Harding in q letter written to
Secretary Wallace of the agriculture
department and made public today at
the White House. 1t was forwarded
to the secretary to be read late today
at meeting of Republicans at Wash
ington Court House. Ohio. ,5
Agricultural production is very
nearly restored, taking the world as a
whole, but. agricultural prices are so
low that 1t is apparent to all of us that
the farmer is not being compensated"
the president said. "The Washington
administration has recognized this
condition and has done everything In
its power to restore a normal balance
between prices and costs of produc-
ton"
The executive further declared a
great deal already had been accom-
plished towaN that end and added
that the trend was strongly toward
better conditions for the farmer"
" The president took occasion to de-
plore any movement by the farmers
looking toward decrease of produc-
tion, and said the natural result of
such movement would be famine
prices. -
