Three Money Crops, Cotton, Tobacco and Dairy Prod
 uctS, in Excellent Condition, Survey of Farm Outlook ShoWs-Predict Good Year
COOPERATIVE BODIES TO AID MARKET CONDITIONS
Live Stock Raisers Are Con-
 ing Back Into Their Own, Reports From Texas Indi-
 cate-Higher Prices for Crops Expected by Experts

DALLAS, Tex, March 18.-The out look is much brighter for the farmer -cotton. cattle. truck and fruit throughout the southern tier of states. On every side the belief is that this year will be better for ag riculture than any since 1920.
 From Atlanta there Is the word of tho Southern railway development service. that farmers in all sections of tho south and southeast report ag- ricultural conditions steadily improv- ing, with prospects of the most pros porous crop season since the war.
 Tho three money crops of the southern farmer-cotton. tobacco and dairy products-are in excellent con- dition, ho says. A big fruit crop is expected and the early truck crop is coming along fine.
 Reasons for Recovery.
 The prosperous conditions can be laid to two reasons, he declared:
 The dovelopfhent of the dairy i'm dustry, which brings in steady cash income; enabling the farmer to have supply of ready money on hand to meet obligations and eXpend on inn provements on his farm.
 The establishment of cooperative marketing associations in practically every line of agricultural activity. IucSc dSSOCldLlOuS nave IcSulIcO III improved marketing conditions for the farmer with resultant higher price for his crops.
 Live stock raiSerS are coming back" is the message of E. B. Spiller of Fort Worth, secretary of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers' as- sociation. Good rains have placed ranges in good condition. There is a demand in Kansas, Oklahoma, Colo rado, Wyoming, the Dakotas and Montana for stockers, feeders, year lings and two-year-olds." Spiller de- clared.
 Market Stiffens.
 Increased consumption of. meat and stiffening of the market in pack ing centcrs are other things that have restored confidence in the live stock industry and enabled both large and small cattle raisers to .'see light"
 Both c. o. Moser, secretary of the American Cotton Growers exchange, and John T. Orr, president of the Texas Farm Bureau Cotton associa- tion, are optimistic.
 The feeling of depression of a year ago caused by drouth. pesti- lence and followed by low prices far below the level of manufactured com modies, has passed" said Orr. "If farmers don't try to plant every acre in their possession in cotton and will try to live at home by planting food and feed crops then they will prosper this year."
