TN an industrial forecast for 1922
it is necessary to consider the
causes of the depression, chief
among which is the unbalanced re-
iationship between the prices OF
farm and other primary products on
the one hand, and the prices OF
manufactured goods, transportation
service a.. j various other products
and services on the other hand.
The final estimates of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture upon the 1921
crops give them a market value to
the farmers 8,000,000,000 below the
value OF the crop of 1918 and
S3.400, 100000 below the value OF the
crop OF 1920. These are figures OF
great significance. The farmers
have produced nearly as much in
quantity, but it has been valued in
the exchanges at less than one-halt
the figures OF 1915. AS other prod
ucts and services have not declined
in like degree, he farmers must buy
much less. and ali the industries are
suffering in consequence.
1t is useless to expect a return to
normal conditions while this dis
parity OF compensation between
great bodies OF produce exist. 1t
is unfair and it establishes an
effective blockage against revival
OF business. 1t is time that the busl-
ness community took cognizance OF
the situation, and set itself to the
task OF correcting it. The argument
that stock on hand was purchased
at higher prices has lost whatever
force it ever had Merchants who
are interested in the return OF pros
perity should do their part for it,
and one OF their duties is to reduce
operating costs.
in large part the situation is
chargeable to the action OF organ
ized labor in clinging to the var
time wage rates. Raw materials
and foodstuffs have had great de-
cline at wholesale. but between the
wholesale markets and consumers
the cost OF handling and nlanufac-
turing has not declined in like pro-
portions. The effect is to obstruct
the distribution OF goods and throw
millions OF wage-earners out OF en-
ployment. at the same time keeping
up the cost Of living on the entire
wage-earning population. In the
aggregate there is no cai;:. but a
great loss, to the wage as a
class.
Railroad Wages
The railroad companies are
struggling with difficult situation.
and although their efforts are in the
public interest they have little help
from the public Railroad wages
in shops and ior common labor are
50 far above the wages paid Tor
similar work along their lines that
the companies find it practicable to
make important savings by con-
tracing for their repairs and much
other work. The New York Central

morally better than when we began. If there is seeming excess of ex ploitation, profiteering. dishonesty and betrayal, it is only because we are grown the larger and we know the ills of life, and read of them more than the good that Is done. 1 do not wonder that the ignorant and ill-informed are made restless by the magnified stories of public abuses and proclaimed privilege. We need truth, only the truth the wholesome truth. as the highest aid to Ameri- canization and the manifestation of higest patriotism.
 America will go on. The funda- mentals of the republic and all its liberties will be preserved and gov ernment must maintain the suprem- acy of law and authority. Under these liberty has its fullest fruition, and men attain to reveal the glory of liberty's institutions"

While a healthy increase in acre. age is shown in all sections, the largest volume is shown in the black belt and in the section south thereof The percentage of increase is 132 for the state, or recovery of something more than was lost last year.
 The condition reported shows de- terioration of 12 per cent since May 25. the greatest loss occurring in the south central and southeastern dis tricts, where excessive rains during the period caued loss of stands, and where the growth of the plant was not as good as it should have been.
 It may be interesting to know that the estimate of acreage this year was made from 10 distinct sets of data gathered independently of each other
 Should the present indicated pro- duction be finally realized and sold at the present price, the Alabama crop will be ssS.O00,00 or $2s.000,- 900 more than the crop of last year. The consumation of this possibility depends upon the weather and weevil for the remainder of the season.
