Big Grain Dealer
Predicts Better

Purchasing Power of Farmer
Keynote to Return of
Prosperity, Chicago
Man Says.

Chicago. March 9-James A. Pat
ten, one of the most conspicuous fig
ures in the grain trade of the United
States. discussing the financial and
Industrial situation of the country. had
this to say about the position Of the
farmer:
II believe that the whole question
of a continued movement back 10
general prosperity rests upon a return
to a proper relation between the price
Of farm products and the price Of
stfch commodities as the farmer needs
TO buy. There can be no genuine
prosperity or even continued class
prosperity. 30 long az the purchas-
ing power Of the farmer remains low,
because Of disarraHgement OF this
fundamental, economic balance.
81 regard corn as the keystone OF
the agricultural arch and fortunately
the condition. appears at present for a
price range for the rest OF the year
that will do much toward strengthen
ing the farmer in his position as the
greatest single purchasing power in
our population.
Supplies Down TO Average.
THE government report shows that
icorn supplies are down 70 an average
OF the past 10 years, and arc 2ss.-
900 900 less than a year ago. and
47S 0ae o0O ioss than two Years ago.
The question Of value depends lipon
the relationship between aurpies and
needs. and from this standpoint the
present situation IS most encourag-
ing.
Last wear We had supply, on
March ]. Of 1913 100000. and on No
vemher there was carried over 10
600 600 showing n consumption be-
tween March / and the new crop a
1.134,000. 900 bushels. In 1921 the con-
sumption during the same period was
! 1.e79 .ooo. 900 bushels
For the past two years. therefore.
our average corn consumption, the
greater part OF which ia represented
hy production OF meat, was 1850 ooo.-
900 bushels Il follows that our present
corn reserve OF .os7 00o 900 Ia less
by 10 900 600 bushels than our ac-
tual consumption during the last TWO
years.
More Livestock on Farms.
add to this the fact that we have
on hand several million more hogs
and a larger supply OF cattle. and
that It "a officially reported the
spring crop IS much larger than In
recent years. IL becomes apparent that
there is prospective urgent demand
for corn for feeding. Further. the
price OF and demand for meat food Is
increasing with advancing wages and
increased Industrial employment. in
surlng an urgent call for the meat
that this increased number of cattle
and hogs can produce.
"Under these conditions Of depleted
corn reserves and urgent feeding de-
mand. I believe that the working OF
economic law toward n proper price
relationship for f9rm products ani
for corn. especially. is under way
