HOW BUYING POWER OF
FARMER HAS BEEN HIT
Value OF Crops For 1921 Show
Decline OF 81 Percent Com
pared To Previous Year
HUGE SUMS FOR LABOR

COLLEGE PARK. Feb IL Just
what has happened TO the buying
power OF the Maryland farmer in the
past two, years is strikingly shown in
figures on the principal crops grown
in the. State. recently compiled by +.
W. Oldenburg. specialist in agronony
for the University OF Maryland. EX-
tension Service. from statistics
gathered By the United States Bureau
OF Markets and Crop Estimates.
In 1919 the agricultural crops grown
in the State, including practically all
the important grain, forage, vegetable
and fruit products returned to the
farmers more than $l10,000000: In
1920 falling prices had reduced this
figure to slightly more than 10000
600. In 1921 unfavorable weather con
ditions. affecting chiefly the fruit
crops. and additional price declines
reduced the total farm value of these
crops to approximately $iS,0oO.ooO, a
decline of almost 81 per cent. from
the high figure of 1919
The difference between the 1919 and
1921 values. MIR Oldenburg points out,
is more than Sc 100000. which would
represent reduction of more than
$1,000 in the annual income of each
farm If distributed equally over the
$4,000 farms of the State. This re-
duction in values. according to Mr.
Oldenburg. applies only to The lead
ing agricultural crops and does not
take into consideration reductions
which have taken place IN the values
OF livestock and livestock products.
1T is interesting to note" says Mr.
Oldenburg. that according to the
census figures Maryland farmers spent
for labor. fertilizer and feed in 1913

of the 1921 value of the leading crops"

1921 was planted on $4,000 acres:
produced a total yield of 25.155 900
bushels and had farm value OF $i2,-
$4,000. or less than one-third of its
1919 value Wheat in 1921 was sown
on 56S,000 acres, produced 1852, 600
bushels and had farm value of $S,

able crop. was grown on $4,000 acres,
produced 531 900 tons and had total
farm value of So .995 900. or about two
thirds of its value in 1919
The importance OF the white potato
crop in the State is shown by the fact
that $4,000 acres were devoted 10 ii in
1921. producing 3.165 900 bushels. val

shows that while an acre of corn in

acre of wheat S14.42, an acre OF pota-
toes had value of S71.50 An acre OF
sweet potatoes was worth still more.
