FARMERS AS WHOLE
FOUND PROSPEROUS
U. S. Expert Sees Nation
Presenting Nearly Balanced
/ Slate of Prosperity.

Not in five years has the agricultur-
al situation in the country presented
so nearly a picture of balanced pros
perity as now, says a report from A.
b. Genung, agricultural economist of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, just made public. The re-
port is a result of studies made in a
tour of the leading agricultural Sec
tionS of the country.
GO into the South this Fall and
you will be impressed with its pros
perity," Mr.. Genung said. Last year
went long way TO wipe out the
pressing burden OF Indebtedness.
Another cotton crop bringing $780,
100000 cash. plus a fairly good sea-
son for truck crops. potatoes, rice and
small fruits. will put the South into
very comfortable position. Gener-
al Sc sentiment throughout the region
Is distinctly optimistic
East Is Rather Static.
I'm the East, meaning essentially
the dairy and diversified region
things are not materially different
from last year. Altogether. the East
is going into the Winter on about the
same basis as the last two years
The prevailing frame of mind among
farmers is rather static
Farmers in the corn belt are in
better spirits than for four years
not so much from any great increase
In income as from feeling that the
stage is being set for better times
At last the hog situation is coming
out from its burden of overproduc-
ton. Corn prices are up and the eX-
pectation is that hog prices are going
TO ride at higher. levels during the
coming year.
ic ho1 ,rr1,
Frosts have hit the North. A heavy
percentage of corn will certainly be
soft and one of the corn belts real
farm management problems this Fall
is how best to dispose of the soft
corn. Notwithstanding the poor corn
crop, the Central States are obviously
breathing easier than they have along
back.
Wheat Belt Is Hopeful.
''The wheat belt is in infinitely
better shape than for four years
Yields are splendid. the crop of high
quality, and prices improved just
at harvest. In the Western Spring
wheat territory where no one has
had d new pair of shoes since the
Winter of 19l9-192O. there is par
ticular rejoicing. Men are inclined
once mere to regard the wheat coun-
try as good property.
THE situation in the range coun-
try is somewhat mixed in that sheep
men and growers Of grain and many
irrigated crops are in very fair shane.
while cattle men are just the re-
verse. The cattle situation remains
an enigma. 1t has been four year
story of liquidation which still
continues In spite of this there are
lot OF cattle left in the range

shape and Winter feed abundant. gen

The Pacific Coast has been seri-
ously hurt by drought and to a
lesser degree by froSts and the foot

tremendous diversity of things and

1t may not be wide of the mark to
say that the coast country is in just
