FARM OUTLOOK CRITICAL, IS
 OPINION OF ROGER BABSON

or loss. A bushel of grain must bring in exchange--that is. in other goods--as muchs as 1t brought in pre-war times before this country car have real. prosperity.
 "At the close of the war America was raising the grain for itself and a large part of Europe. Since the wal Europe has seeded down large areas and has correspondingly increased production of grain. Other countries such as Canada, the Argentine and Australia, owing to cheaper labor costs, are competing keenly with Am erican farmers and are under selling American grain in Liverpool. the wheat market of the world. As a re- suit, the American farmer is facing bumper crop and at the same time carrying over about one hundred mil lion bushels from last years crop. As 1t is very difficult to increase the con- sumption of wheat through any ad- vertising or other propaganda, this puts our American farmers in a very critical situation. Hence, during the next few months the crop reports, not only of this country but the other great countries. should be studied very carefully. The American farmer should not yet give up hope. As stated, something may happen, in this or some other country, which may en- tirely change the situation one way or the other. One thing, however, we all should keep in mind. namely that un- less the farmer is prosperous the rest of us cannot be prosperous. Hence. it is up to all of us to help the farming situation in every practical way.
 This agricultural situation Is large ly responsible for the drop in the Babsonchart from it's high point of 11% above normal in March to 4% below normal where it stands at the present time. The truth is that the farmers are greatly curtailing their buying and this is being reflected throughout all industries. When the farmer stops buying from the retail CT. the retailer stops buying from the jobber, the jobber stops buying from the manufacturer and the manufac- turer shuts down his plant It is easy to tell them that they must suffer with the rest, but the fact is that the farmers are suffering more than the
