May Be the Year

This is the time OF year when stock
taking becomes a prevalent practice
For the merchant it is invoicing. for
the rest OF us it is simply New Years
and time TO check up on what has been
done, what might have been done
and what we can do If we will.
Altogether his year Of 1923 isn't
the best that could Rave been ar
ranged. We remember all too well
with what a feeling OF optimism We
went into the year. believing that
the upward trend for agriculture had
come ~ last For three years we
have been opiimistically hoping for
the day to come shortly when farm
prices might be something more than
bills for freight
Now another year is upon us TAX
ing stock this time. we find that over
all the United States the migration
from farm 10 factory. from country
to city. has been more marked the
past year than during any other peri
cd OF the agricultural depression and
therein lies a hope People canno,
congregate forever in cities without
some day reckoning in the quantity
and price OF food for that mode OF
life.
Some day this nation will be cam
oring for food And that some day
will see prosperity returning to farm
ers. Perhaps il legislative and poliii-
cal programs OF relief won't work
Ias they won't--thc memorable law
OF supply and demand will finally &c;
in few hard ticks for the farmer
And 1924 may be the year.
