It's a Dark, Dark
Year for Farmers,
Uncle Sam Admits

WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a
Admission that the farmers OF Ine
United States can hope for no I'M
provement in conditions this year Is
made in the official summary OF Inc
Agricultural Outlook for 1924, issued
by the Bureau Of Agricultural Econ
omics, u. S. Department of Agrlcui-
ture. Reports from $4,000 farmers
thruout the country stating their in
tentions as to the planting OF spring
crops, have been studied in connection
with market conditions, and the Dur-
eau finds that "a normal production
program is in sight, with no reduction
in costs and no increase in the world
market price for American wheat
pork, cotton and tobacco.
The situation this season, says the
Bureau, with respect to labor, ma
chinery, fertilizer, credit and other
cost items is not such as to favor any
'expansion in production.
A surplus Of corn next winter IS
anticipated, and the hog industry is
declared to be 'going thru period
of liquidation and Encouragement. "
The dairy industry, also, will produce
more than can be consumed in this
country. Potato acreage is being re-
duced but oats, barley and hay win
have bigger acreage than in 1928.
The spring wheat acreage will be
somewhat lower than the total har-
vested last year.
The average wages per month,
without boaYd, for farm labor in 1928
was SAT, as against $42 in 1929, and
higher wages are expected this sea-
son. The Bureau recommends the
reduction of hiring to minimum.
Nevertheless, purchases Of farm ma
chinery for the past season have been
much below the normal for the pre-
ceding three years.
