COMMISSIONER PECK GIVES
PRACTICAL ADVICE TO
FAR MERS
Why So Many Failures.

Some farmers are complaining
that they are not making money
as they could fifteen or twenty
years ago. But a few of then
will admit the real reason for it.
IL is costing many of them two
dollars now to meet their living
expenses to where it cost one
before. Corn. wheat, hay. oats,
cetton, hogs, sheep and cattle
are bringing better prices, but
you will find automobiles on the
szajority Of farms. and they are
expensive luxuries, not only on
account of fuel, oil and tires.
but in time taken from work
that should be done on the farm.
! heard g stock trader talking
. few days ago about finding
neH on their farms at work now.
Es said that ten years ago it
was no trouble to find a farmer
st home unless it was court day,
that new when he goes to see
. farmer to buy stock, often
he ands that the latter has gone
IN his car to one of the half
dezeA towns in 20 miles of his
home.
One trouble with many farm
ers is that they have Stacked up
On work, giving too much of
their time to unproductive
effort. Some of them are try
ing to secure legislation that
will help solve their problems
and make agriculture productive.
Some legislation necessary for
the farmer has been neglected;
some Is being and has been en-
aetsd that will be helpful. but
tke important thing for the far
Mer to do, and which will in.
crease his earning capacity. is
to look after and improve the
fertility of his soil, the culti-
walton Of crops for which there
is a market demand. and to
merchandise his products on an
orderly market instead of dump.
ing them on q glutted market.
Farmers may find object
lessons Of progressive communi-
ties that have successfully work
ed out some of these problems.
We hear complaints that they
cannot get ready money to
finance their farm operations.
and yet they can find means to
buy and keep up an automobile.
h is all right for the farmer, or
any one else, to buy an auto
mobile If they can afford it
without crippling their business
from which they get living.
But it is not good business
policy for the farmer, merchant,
manufacturer or professional
man to invest in an automobile
and its upkeep when the money
Il needed in their business.
We have thousands of acres of
Gazing land in Tennessee that
would keep and fatten ten head
of live stock where it has one
land that is idle and unproduc.
tive because the live stock is
not provided to eat the grass,
While ample money to buy live
stock is invested in automobiles
and upkeep. The profits from
such an investment would in
two years provide an automobile.
Too many of us are buying
things we could wait for. and
are thereby cutting down our
productive capacity. Too many
q % are easing up on work and
6yine to figure out some easier
cay to get by. Too many of US
are aeglecting work at home to

observers have pointed out for
some time that the German situs-
tion as at present constituted Is
impossible. The bankers commit
tee clearly Indicated that an inter-
national loan to adjust the position
is impractica without a busi-
ness-like revision, of the repara-
tions schedule. Frances veto on a
free examination of the conditions
essential to successful loan. how
ever. threw the whole German diff
fculty back into its vicious circle.
As a result the mark has lost SO
per cent of its foreign value, the
French franc has dropped a cent
and a half, the uncertainty as to
the domestic political situation in
Germany has been greatly In
creased and the prospects for bet
ter trade in Europe have been
blasted.
Just where the affair will end Is
a matter for conjecture. Reaction
ary elements in Germany may OBJ
tain the upper hand. although this
seems rather improbable to the out
side observer. These elements may,
however, create quite a consider
able disturbance. French leaders,
bowine to political exigencies,
maintain a promising attitude. On
the other hand the collapse Of the
mark and the pronounced weakness
in the franc may impress these
leaders with the necessity for
more reasonable attitude. There
are signs, in fact, that events are
shaping in this direction.
Great Britain and the other allies
may be relied on for renewed rep
resentations as to the Importance
Of putting the reparations /on
sound basis, and our own influence
undoubtedly wifi be exerted to the
same end. Quite possibly IL may
be. necessary for Germany's condi-
tion to become extremely bad be-
fore IL can become better. The sit
uation constitutes, however. a pro-
found misfortune economically and
a sad commentary on human man
agement of great affairs.
The effect on our situation Of
German collapse or a prolongation
OF Europesp depression would be
somewhat mixed. London observers
infer that ease In money would be
emphasized or extended. A similar
effect might be produced here, al
though probably In a much milder
form. We would lose, of course.

chasing power, but our domestic

be Impossible for him to accomplish
this-but he will go as far as pos
sible.
Debts Being Ltsuidated-
Bankers report that their custom
ers are pairing down their notes and
declaring that once they are out
Of debt they will stay SO. The expe-
rience of the past eighteen months
with the constant effort of their
creditors to secure settlement has
made the average producer feel that
he will never again go in debt once
he Is free OF the present entangle-
ments. OF course this will pass
away. but just now II is an encour-
aging factor in the direction of
moderate trade movement Is
Frightening the hopes OF merchants
as they try to estimate autumn
business.
While these matters are affecting
the local situation. the entire Mid
die West is keenly watching ma
tional affairs. The strike situation
receives no sympathy from the pro-
ducer He has always felt that the
rail men had much the better of
him in income. He pointed to the
section hand on one side of fence
getting double the wages of the
farm hand on the other and wanted
to know why. As the fuel situation
has not affected the interior towns,
except In places in securing thresh-
ing COAL the coal strike has been
little considered. But on the whole
the farmer is against the demands
Of union labor. Efforts to combine
labor factions and the producer
litically have failed. The feeling
that railroads are charging too
much and that demands OF the
unions are partly responsible for
this also rankles in the farmers
mind. So he is impatient with
strikes and their consequent effect
in lessening the prosperity OF the
consumer upon whom he depends for
his market.
When It comes to politics. he is
disposed to discouiagement as to
helpful results in his direction. The

NEW YORK July s.-With our
domestic markets still reflectins
the uncertainties of the season,
sharp contrast Is evident between
American and European and Indus
trial conditions and trade prospects.
Despite our wavering markets the
industrial situation here is still en-
couragiug. Steel production con-
tinues at a high level and the latest
car loading figures have set a new
high for the year. Failures con-
tinue to decline and commodity
prices are firm. The menace in
volved in the railroad strike plainly
Is less serious rather than more 50,
and the prospects for a settlement
of the coal strike during the COM
ing month appear fairly good.
There is no reason for doubling. in
other words, that a further i'm
provement in general business dur
ing the autumn is probable.
In Europe, on the other hand. a
general revival Is still blocked by
the reparations impasse. Impartial

SECOND QUARTERS
FAILURES REDUCED,
OFFICIAL REPORT
Elimination of the Weak
Spots in Situation, Re
sponsible, Dun Says.

With the Accomplishing evidences
of business recovery, and with many
of the weak spots in the situation
already eliminated. reduction in the
commercial mortality dur
ing the quarterly period recently
ended was logically to be expected.
Returns for April and May had
shown an appreciable decrease in
Number and liabilities Of failures.
and the June statistics reflect a
of the improving tend
ency. As against 1917 defaults for
s21s.el2,365 Of Indebtedness during
the first quarter of this year, the
second quarters reports to r. G.
Dun and Company disclose 5.ss7 in
solvencies for 3l55.7o3.s73. exclusive
of banking and other fiduciary sus-
pensions. Thus the statistics for
the latest period reveal a decline
of about 20 per cent In number of
failures and a contraction of more
than 2S per cent in amount of liza
bilities from those of the first three
months of the present year. and the
June defaults-1.74o in humber
mark the smallest monthly total
since last October.
The June Indebtedness of ap-
proximately s3s.ooo.e0e is. moreover.
less than that of all months back
to last September. Comparing with
the statement for the second quarter
of 1921. on the other hand, IL ap-
pears that this year 8 returns show
a numerical increase of about Al
per cent anad an expansion in the
liza bilities of 20 per cent, insolven-
cies in the second quarter of last
year having numbered 4.ls3 and in
volved $l30.273,615. While the cur
rent statistics of insoivencies. as
previously stated. show a decided
betterment over the exhibit for the
first quarter OF this year, the sec
ond quarters failures are the larg-
est in number on record for the
period. and this Is also true of the
Indebtedness.
The previous high mark in num-
Der of defaults for the second quar-
ter was established In 1918. with a
total Of 5,Se4. and the former top
point In respect of the liabilities for
the second quarter was reached last
wear Despite the fact that the
business mortality continues much
above the average. IL Is encourag-
ing that recent months have
brought a material lowering Of the
commercial Heath rate. and sub
sequent returns this year may con-
ceivably make less unsatisfactory
comparisons with the figures for
earlier years.

Undoubtedly the farmer thinks ne

II is scarcely fair to say that ne Is
turning radical; rather he is In an
uncertain state of mind when he
proposes to try something new in
the hope that it will bring better
