Prices of Produce

Washington. May 20-Rise in prices
provement in the economic status of
the farmer.
While losses in the farm regions
have been severe and largely unavoid-
able because of the slump away from
peak prices a year ago, the reports
to the Federal Reserve Board and the
Department of Agriculture show that
the growers are going ahead with
new crops in orderly fashion.
Government officials expect to see
q great increase in foreign demand
for Amrican products before the close
of the year, and this will enhance the
farmers position, 1t is believed, for
larger demand from abroad for
Americas surplus will cause prices of
the farm commodities to rise IN
valUe.
The Government now faces the
problem of .fnsuring for the farmer
some additional credit methods by
which he may more easily finance his
crop operations, regardless of which
price conditions in another year, how
ever favorable for the farmer, still
leave him with inad,Aquate financing
opportunities.
officials of the Administration in
cline to the view that as the farmer
has only one turnover each year some
method must be devised to enable
him to get long-term loans at rea-
sonable rates of interest
There is growing distrust by the Adj
nits the farmer to be agouged" by
money pirates on funds borrowed and
