THE GOOD OLD DAYS ARE
GRADUALLY COMING BACK

Sin the good old days prices wele
better than they are now," is an OK
preston frequently heard on many
farms today. AS a matter Of fact the
statement is only partly true.
In statistics 1.-THE good Old dogs"
20 which we refer and on which our
calculations are based is the year
1913. We call the prices of that year
100. Present prices are compared to
those of 1913 and expressed in per-
centages. For example, if the price
of wheat was $l.00 per bushel in 1913
and is $l.30 now, then we would say
that the index number Of wheat is
$50, meaning that wheat is selling 80
per cent higher now than it was IN
1913.
But to return to the good old days
prices then were lower all aSound
than they are now. But when the
farmer sold his products and pur-
chased other goods his dollar was
worth just as much as other dollars.
Today, however, things have changed
and are still changing; fortunately
during recent months, for the better.
The farmer sells his products,
meaning everything that he raises
for the market, for % per cent more
than he did in 1913. But that is only
the small half of the story. After he
sells his goods for % per cent more
than he got in the good old days, the
big question is: "How much more
will he have to pay for what he buys
than he did in 1872" And hat is
the large half of the story.
He sells for % per cent more but
he pays 50 per cent more than he did
in 1913. Therefore, when the farmer
goes to spend his $1.2S he finds that
it will buy just "a per cent as much
as did his dollar in the good old days
of 1913. If the farmer was in a posi-
ton to sell at $1.28 and then salt his
money down and buy nothing until
his dollar was worth a hundred per
cent, he would beat the game-but
how many can go along and buy
nothing? AS a matter of fact, farm
ers are buying as little as possible,
and for a verv good reason.
1t is not so much the good old days
that we want back again as a l~eveling
up in prices SO that the farmers
dollar is on the same basis as other
dollars, and this seems to be grad.
ually coming about. A year ago the
farmers dollar was worth but "a
cents. Today it is worth "a cents and
! the indications all point to ar ever
more rapid narrowing of the wide
spread now existing between the price
of what the farmer sells in compari
son with the price OF what he pur
chases.
Yes, the good old days are cominl
back, they have got to come back
but they do seem to be taking thei
time about it.-C. G.. Worsham
