Agricultural prices continue to
improve i'm relation to the general
price level and to the prices OF
other commodities. While the av-
erage level of farm products prices
rose from 1877 in May to 137 in
August, the bureau of labor sta
tiscis index number of the whole
sale prices of all commodities rose
only from 145 to 1877. Thus
states recent report from Wash
ingtOn.
Although the rise in the average
farm product prices was probably
less in September than in August,
owing to the weakening of some COM
modities, the process has raised hopes
that the ratio of farm purchasing
power will be at par before many
months. The department of agri-
cultures farm purchasing power in
dex number for August, the last date
for which figures have been compiled,
stands at SS against ~ in August of
last year, with an average of IA for
the year 1922, and with an average
of So for 1921.
Grain Rise Aids.
Advances in grain prices were the
chief cause of the improvement un-
til the middle of August. Since that
time there have been seasonal rises
in poultry and dairy products. The
rise in farm product prices this year
was earlier and more rapid than in
1928. Last year the rise was due to

At noon, May 2Sth, after a day in
the alkali the hearts of all were
cheered by the sight of the emigrant
Dad. Crossing the river, the ad-
venturers travelled two miles when
they came in sight of some telegraph
poles. One mile farther they were
still more gladdened by the view of
a train of horse teams. At the sight
they broke forth in hysterical shouts
of joy, which effectually frightened
the emigarnts and they proceeded to
form their wagons in the road for
battle.
"Our feelings" wrote the captain,

Corn Price Problem.
Higher prices for corn and wheat
are supporting higher prices for oats.
AS the oat crop is larger than that
of last year, prices of oats may not
rise in proportion to the price OF corn
The outlook for corn, if the reduced
