That the farmers of the state of Connecticut lost q. s00, ,O0Q during me year 1922 because Of the redue- iiaH in value of comm oaEtles they pro duced. as compared WIth sZl prices. .s the assertion ef Leonard E Healsy of North W Woodstock, who is secretary of the State Board af Agriculture Mr Hcaley points out that the agri- cultural situation in Connecticut to- day s critical and be adds, what the future viii Dc. only time can tell"
 Sir Heaiey has gathered statistics showing that agriculture ls GaHneeti= Cuta most important industry. He points ss proving his statement. that Government reports for 1920 place the valuation of sZ50, ,458. .00o an Con- neet5eut farm property. and that two thirds of the states land acreage Is classified as agricultural. Mf healeg also refers t0 abstracts Of grand list of manufacturing indusfries h the state, ss of 1921, giving assessed val ues of S2s7.5$7, ,ss6 He further shows the agricultural importance of Connecticut by pointing out that sta tistics prove that of the ,500, 900 peo- pie of the state. about 120 900 follow agriculture as a vocation.
 Prices on Pre- War Basis
 Discussing the great financial loss to Connecticut farmers through price reductions. and their effect upon the farmers' situation. Mr HealeY states
 The price Of farm products has practically hit a pre-aar basis, but the purchasing value of the dollar to- day is by no means anywhere near normal and the farmer is in tise pre- dieament of disposing ef the fruits ef his iabors at figures which m the final analysis. are lower than prevail ed before the war. The solution may be reached iu one of two ways-an increase in the price Of farm com modities. or @ reduction tn the prices of his requirements The Last two years the farmer has not operated pratltably.
 L. matters of taxes the increased expense Of the farmers is reflected The taxes paid in 1922 amounted to 70a cent per acre as compared with 3f.4 cents in 1914 In Connecticut in 1914 they amounted to SO cents ta 1922. they were 99 cents
