FEARS SHORTAGE
IN FOOD SUPPLY
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 26.-Serious
cripp1ing Of the nations food pro-
ductivity may result from a long
continued exodus of farm Aabor into
the cities because Of higher urban
wages and depressed agricultural
prices. D. H. Otis, director Of the
agricultural committee of the Amer
lean Bankers Commission, declared
today.
I'VE must admit" he said, chat
the farmers condition Is serious.
He is selling many of his products
below the cost of production. This
has crippled the nations buying
power greatly. since farmers pur-
chases constitute practically so per
cent of the whole. The farmers feel
very dissatisfied and are looking for
some way out" l
Mr. Otis, who has been studying
agricultural conditions throughout
the nation. declared that discomfort
with economic conditions had put
farmers in frame of mind to be
led astray by radical agitation. I'm
less conditions improve, he said, the
farmer was simply going to leave the

partment had indicated there was a

the month, but the corrected figures
showed that the exports of domestic
goods We're SS,000.000 less than the
total imports.

ment found that 81 per cent of all

NEW YORK, July 26.-Bond prices
We're generally firm today, particu-

French Issues were bought at ad-

The weak feature again was the
