tions" A. F. Strebel said that in his

ton to the fact that the bank de-
posits in the northwest were the

ing. however, that the increase IN
prices of grains was apt to bring
about large increase in acreage next
wear which would mean a loss to the
farmers. This section, he said pros

the cost of production entirely
too high. The agricultural depres,,
sion through which the country had
gone was a natural condition follow
Ing the World War. Similar condi-
tions existed at the close of the civil
