4-YEAR PERIOD
OF DEPRESSION
NOW OVERCOME
Farmers of Country Are
Emerging From Peri
Cd of Heavy Losses,
Says Barrett
tBy The Associated press.)

OKLAHOMA CITY. Nov. ls.-For
four years the farmers OF the country
have suffered cruelty and sustained
losses which can only be absorbed IN
their capital account but they are now
coming out Of the depression. President
Charles s. Barrett declared in his an
nual address here today before the Ma
tional Farmers Union.
A $4,000, 900 900 loss was suffered
by agriculture since l9202l and in q
single year 100000 farming people
were driven from their homes and
forced To take refuge in tie city, =
declared. These facts constitute the
real reason for the exodus from the
farms and explain. he said. why many
state and county officials have found
IL so difficult TO collect taxes during
the last four years and why there have
been so many foreclosures.
1T is clear that in sGme manner our
own federal gov rnment has been q
blame" Mr.. Barrett asserted 1T dis
mantled its war production machinery
without making provision for readjusf-
ments; but il encouraged farmers TO
continue their maximum efforts to pro-
GuCtlOn tNeU INTO tnt. crop OF lf-b
Then came the fear nj Washington of
initiation tendencies. That was follow
ed by drastic deflation policy inaug-
urated by the Federal Reserve Board.
Then the crash came. On top of this
came the raising of fres.a; rates for
which the federal government was re-
spcnsible and which put farmers of
the middle west at great disadvant-
age by forcing them TO pay peak prices
TO transport products whose value had
shrunken alarmingly."
The Farmers National Unions Co
operative enterprises in many states
are in flourishing condition. Mr.. Bar
Tett told the convention. The nature
and volume Of business turnover in
grain elevators. warren -v-es, wholesale
organizations. insurance and livestock
associations is enormous He recount

sentatives at Washington and Of their
cooperation with the National Board
