The total gold supply Of the world is
estimated at about $4,000, 600, 900.

TWO MILLION DROP
FARM FOR CITY LIFE

Figures of the Department of
Agriculture reveal that 100000
persons moved from American
farms to. American cities during
1922.
The Peoples Legislative Bulletin,
commenting on these figures, says:
This enormous movement merely
emphasizes the condition of unrest
which exists in all parts Of the
United States among the produc-
ing population"
Referring to department figures
showing that $4,000 persons left
the cities for the farms. the state
ment says.
This is in part an Illusion, be.
cause all experience has shown
that only small proportion of
those who go from the cities to
the country remain there per-
manently, while the rural popu-
lation, when once engulfed in the
city's maelstrom, seldom returns to
the farms"

Farmers Are Well Off
Says Senator
Watson

Senator James Z. Watson
(Rep.) of Indiana thinks the
farmers are better off econom-
ically than the politicians will
permit them to believe.
In a statement today, he de-
clared that too many attempts
were being made to distort
facts to make it look like the
agricultural industry was on
the point Of collapse and dis
agreed with Senator Under
wood (Dem.) of Alabama and
other leaders of both parties
who have asserted that export
markets have been lost to the
American farmer.
whatever the conditions in
Europe, Senator Watson said,
Eat least they have not lost the
American farmer his foreign
markets compared with what he
sold in normal times prior to
the world war"
