Sees More Hope
For Agriculture
New Year Message From Sec
retary Wallace-There Are
Signs Which Point to Bet
Ter Times, Says Federal
Official

Washington, Jan. 1.-The farm
er can enter the new year "in a
spirit OF hopefulness and good
cheer" Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace stated today in New
Years message to farmers.
Il see nothing which Indicates
boom times for the farmers in the
near future he continued, but
there does seem to be promise OF
better times, both for the farmer
and for those whose business IS
largely dependent upon him"
While unwilling to make ANY
hard prophecies, the secretary said
that there are signs which indicate
| that the coming year should be a
better one for the farmer and Tor
those who deal with him than was
1921"
Among hopeful signs enumer-
ated by the secretary were the M
provement in credit conditions
through regular channels and by
special agencies created TO meet the
farmers needs, bringing a lowering
OF interest rates: reduction already
made in freight rates on farm pro
ducts: reduction in the cost OF 1922
OF producing farm crops, and a
probable increase in the price fol-
lowing what seems likely 10 be a
decrease in acreage planted to such
! crops.
THE parlayzins effect of the sud-
den drop II prices last year IS
wearing oil, the secretary declar-
cd, "and farmers will enter the
new year more hopefully, believing
that the worst is over.
Farmers are coming to see
more clearly that the task Of put
ing farming on q sound business
basis is really up 10 them, and that
through organization they can re-
duce marketing costs the state
ment continued. "In this they will
have increasing help from the De-
partrent Of Agriculture and the
various state agricultural colleges,
which now see better than before
that they must give the farmers
the same sort Of help in the mar
keting of his crops that they have
been giving him in the production.
with prices Of farm products
falling and the future very uncer-
tain, even those farmers who had
money laid by-and there are a
large number OF such-hape been
restricting their buying TO what
they have had to have. Now, with
the growing belief that prices have
hit bottom, buying will be resumed,
and should increase in volume. and
manufacturers and retailers who
make or sell things that farmers
need or want should have better
business this coming year"
