PREDICTS 1922
WILL Be BETTER
THAN PAST YEAR
Commercial Bank thinks
Bedrock has been touch
ed and that Progress is
Being Made.

ter business year than 1921 are made
by the Caldwell Commercial bant
through its monthly summary of local
business conditions. The bank bass
this conclusion on the belief that d
slow but gradual recovery is coming
about.
Looking to the new year, the bank
holds: !
Little of value can be gained by
reviewing the past year, The present
and future hold enough problems to
be solved to utilize all Of the energy
that can be commanded Also per-
haps but little of gain could be re-
covered out of what has happened and
past.
"In viewing the present We are OF
the opinion that the bottom in most
things grown and produced y this sec
ton has about beer reaclid The
matter of hay productiof must be
looked upon by the growef as measur-
ing up only to the demo whether
fed out by the producer d grown for
market. A surplus of Eny product
usually nets price beloYproduction.
In dairying and poultry there is no
doubt that a decided relt can be had
over past experiences. The farming
of smaller acreages al thereby re-
ducing the overhead Expenses and
cash outlay with a he&ier production
is quite certain to rebit In larger
percentage OF net 81. Diversified
farming in this sectio, with climate
soil and other condifns most favor,
able. would appear tSnvolye less risk
and better prospef tor success
There appears to bd basis on which
to conclude that h&heep industry Is
on the mend. OtM livestock, Other
than dairy cows, rs not show any
evidence upon WI at this time te
base a prediction Dbottom prices OF
a recovery. FreiT rates as affect
ing this section wiprobably be low
cred. The mos encouraging out
standing feature Hn which to base
prediction of beu times ahead is il
the fact of reliefat is being secured
through the lakloan agencies ant
the war finance operation.
I'm summing for the future w
believe that thegenerai problem o
financial reliefk sufficiently favor
able for re4hable success. In
dividual succeSsan be attained as ii
any times only the solving by TIL
individual of BE problems that ar
peculiarly his Gain will not likel
be showered un anyone who is no
properly prGing to receive i
whatever thd neral situation nigh
be. We bell that the coming yea
will be bettef1an the past and tina
a slow but adual recovery is com
ing about.
