Effect of Rise in Price of Farm
Products Discussed by BabsOn in
Relation to Politics, Economics

it is hoped that the general level
of agricultural prices and industrial
commodity prices may come into
even closer relationship. 1T is on
" on the basis Of equitable pur-
prices have also risen about 40 per
cent so that the advantage holds
either way.
Cotton Is Higher
Cotton planters are get i n g
around SO cents intead of 27.7 cents
per pound and thereby profit to
the extent of more than $135,000,-
600. The wheat farmer who has
certainly had his troubles these last
few years is receiving $1.20 instead
of 96 cents and on the basis of
government estimate his political
purchasing power is increased by
$175, 100000. On these three crops
alone the recent strengthening i'll
prices has added $960,000,000 to the
purchasing power of the farmers.
eff we compare these crop es-
inmates with the actual crop harvest
ed last year we find decrease of
IL per cent in the probable pro
duction of corn despite larger acre
age. The, price rise offsets this
shrinkage, however, and leaves the
corn farmer with, an income at least
equal to a year ago. Present fore
casts on the cotton crop meantime
indicate a yield 1S per cent ahead
of last year. The south will not
only receive n high price per pound,
if present prices continue, but will
have almost one fifth again as
much cotton ito sell.
Wheat estimates at present in
dicate !. shrinkage of 5 per cent in
production as compared with 1928
but the present rate of price in
crease should rapidly offset this
discrepancy. The total income of
chasing power for all sections and
classes that any real or lasting
prosperity can be built.
IGeneral business as reflected
on the Babsonchart has not yet felt
the advantage of this more even
adjustment. Activity is now II per

BABSON PARK, Mass. August
11.-Recent rises in the prices of
farm products have been discussed
muck as to their economic and
political effect. Many have wond-
cred Just how much of this increase
wonld actually get to the farmers
who produce these crops. Roger
w. Babson s first estimate of in
crease in the farmers purchasing
powers made public today, is there
fore, of unusual interest.
SIT is difficult to get exact fig
ures ON what the farmer receives
for, his crop,' says the statistician,
"because of differences in locality,
freight rates, and time of actual
marketing. A reliable estimate can,
however, be made by applying the
recent increases to the actual prices
being paid to farmers this last
spring.
Corn for instance was netting
the farmer around "a cent Bushel
in January of this year. Cotton
brought the grower about 28 cents
per pound in March. While wheat
was selling from 95 cents to 96
cents in the middle of April. These
dates represent approximate lows
since the beginning of 1924.
g Corn has since seen a rise of
4S~ per cent, cotton an increase of
81 per cent and wheat has advanced
approximately 30 per cent. The lat
est crop estimates by the govern
ment forecast corn crop of p
515,OOO,0O0 bushels; a cotton crop
of 1884, 900 bales and a wheat
production of 100000 bushels.
Corn growers are now receiving
over $l.0O instead Of the "A cents
bushel prevailing earlier in the
year and on this expected produc-
tion their purchasing power is
thereby increased over $650,000, 900.
Much corn is of course fed to hogs
and not marketed directly. Hog
the wheat farmer should be between
"a per cent and so per cent great
er than last year. Continued drought
and the possibilities of early frost
may cut into these expected yields
but such losses in volume should be
compensated for .by increased
prices.
"The political significance of
this increase in prosperity has al
ready been commented upon. If the
trend holds until election then the
Third Party should fare poorly. I'm
rest and radicalism have way OF
evaporating in the sunshine of in
creased prosperity.
Credits Liquidating
1.-The agricultural sections them
selves are already benefiting mater
ially. Frozen credits carried by
country banks are being liquidated
and farm buying is increasing both
with local merchants and with mail
order houses. Great permanent ben
eft will result if the farmer con
times to follow his present policy
which serves to tend toward pay
ing his debts, buying much needed
equipment, and improving his work
ing equipment instead of the reck-
less spending and land speculation
that characterized his, last season
Of prosperity.
''This welcome readjustment in
farm prices has been long over
due" concluded Mr.. Babson, "and

HARVEY FELT

monition of impending doom. Dur
ing the entire time the flyers were

vey wore an expression of utmost
sadness. This, and the fact that he
was singularly reticent-he seldom
spoke more than half dozen words
to anybody at one time-led to com
ment that he was suffering from a
Crouch

ed his demeanor as indicating resig-

the expedition. But, if he ever ver-
bally gave expression to his supposed
fears. it was only in a long letter

MAJOR DOCCED
BY HARD LUCK


The crashing into the mountain on
Alaska Peninsula by Major Martin
and the wreck of his plane was the
eighth accident he suffered since the
world tour squadron left California.
He was forced down south of Sac.
ramento and again near Redding.
In landing at Sand Point at Sc
attic, Martins plane struck the field
and bounced badly. The wheels of
the plane and the landing gear was
also slightly wrenehed.
On his first trial flight at Seattle.
after pontoons had been fitted to
his craft, Major Martin rammed a
buoy and stove a hole in pontoon.
Flying spray also shattered his pro.
pellor.
The sixth accident happened when
the major landed a Prince Rupert.
A furry of snow blinded him and his
mechanic and the ship paneaked"

The seventh accident was his fore

WASHINGTON, May u. - Many
thoughtful Republican leaders were
asking themselves today just how far
President Coolidge can go in dis

ring of his party and still achieve
the unbounded success at the No

looking long way ahead-assured
him.
They discussed with disquietude
the very apparent possibility that
the victories in the primaries chalked
up in the Presidents favor may not
by any means be duplicated in the
election vote, presupposing that Coo

ballot at the national convention

these lines were by no means les

call President Coolidge's victory"
