Conditions We Have Been
Looking for Are Here,
Saws Deere & Co.
Official.
An alyzes S Prob e m S

A message of better days for the
manufacturers and dealers in farm
implements was brought today to the
annual convention of the Midwest
Implement Dealers association.
The message was delivered by Bur
ton F. Peek, vice president of Deere
& Co.
THE conditions we have been so
long looking for, are here" said Mr..
Peek. He called attention to the
serious depression that has been the
experience of both implement manu-
facturers and dealers during the de-
flation period. THAT is now hap
PLY past he said, ''and we are not
going to cry over spilled milk.
"In this connection. | have some
figures that may be interesting. The
Farm Implement association has
made a study of the distribution of
the farmers dollar. 1t finds that of
every dollar expended by the farmer,
Is 2-3 cents goes for food. Is cents
for clothing, 10 cents for taxes. 8
cents for feed. fertilizers. ETC.; 6 cents
for payment on Indebtedness, 8 cents
for education. cents for radio. jew
elry and monographs; cents for
building supplies, cents for house
hold supplies. 8 1-3 cents for farm
equipment and cents for invest
ments.
Luxuries Compete With Implements.
"Analyzing these figures a little,
We find they may be roughly divided
into the uncomfortable expense and
the controllable- In the uncontrol-
liable column we must place food.
clothing. taxes, interest. payment on
Indebtedness. feeds. fertilizers. educa-
ton, building supplies. household
supplies, amounting, In all. TO 81 2-3
per cent. In the comfortable item
We can place automobiles, radio,
jewelry. monographs, Investments.
and, If you please. fsrr1 equipment
amounting 10 IS 1-3 per cent.
1T Is therefore evident that In the
competition for the farmers dollar
your principal competitors are the
automobile. the phonograph, the
radio outfit and the jewelry. l do
not complain about this. The farmer
does not owe the implement manu-
facturer a living and he does not
owe the implement dealer living. He
does owe IL TO himself, however, to
farm in the most efficient and intelli-
gent manner possible. To this end
the efforts of the manufacturer and
the dealer should be directed. The
manufacturer produces the ma
chinery--the implement dealer must

1T is the business OF the manufac.

possible. consistent with quality. and
to distribute at the lowest cost pos
sible. consistent with service. Ex
perience has demonstrated that this
distribution must be through the re.

Continues to
Lose Lead
Small Majority of Iowa Sena-
tor Declines Steadily as
Official Canvass of
Votes Proceed.
Reports of "a Counties

Des Mones, Ia. Nov. 1.-THE
margin by which Senator Smith w.
Brookhart. republican, led his demo.
cratic opponent for the United States
senate, Daniel f. Steck. had mar
rowed down to 626 votes tonight
when tabulation was completed by
turns from "A of Iowa's 80 counties.
The senator's ma ajority had shown a
steady decline throughout the day.
his lead this morning having stood
at 1877.
The total vote tonight, based on
the official figures from "A counties
and the unofficial returns from 25,
stood:
Brookhart. 447,3S2.
Steck, 49, ,756.
Twenty-six of the 80 counties from
which official figures had been re-
ceived tonight did not change the
unofficial report. The 25 counties yet
to report included Polk Oes Moines):
Linn Cedar Rapids) and Pottawat-
tamie Council Bluffs. There has
been no official indication that any
large changes might be expected In
either of these populous counties, al
though one authority today said the
Brookhart total had been increased
by the incomplete official canvass In
Des Moines, by SS votes.
In the official vote recorded up to
tonight. Senator Brookhart had gain
ed Ill votes and lost 257, while Steck
had gained $40 and lost 296. This
was a net loss of 146 for Brookhart.
which, combined with Steck's net
gain OF 253, made a total of 800 votes
by which the senator's unofficial lead
OF 1,o25 was reduced.
One of the peculiarities of the cleo
ton was emphasized today through
the finding OF the Webster county
election board that more than 1000
votes cast in that county did no,
record a choice for senator. This
number, It was pointed out, would
have been enough to give either can
didate clear victory.
In the state as a whole, approx
mately 10000 voters refrained from
expressing their choice for senator
in this group, observers believe were
many who would not vote fol
Brookhart as q republican because
of his differences with the party
leaders. and who. as republicans
could not bring themselves to vots
for a democrat as had been urget
by many prominent republican lead

 His plea was denied, but Judge Foster gave Means until Friday to appeal to the circuit court of appeal in the guise of pauper.
 Means and his one-time secretary, Elmer w. Jarnecke, were convicted of conspiracy to violate the national prohibition law. The former depart ment of justice agent was sentenced to serve a two-year term in the fed eral pentitentiary at Atlanta, and pay S10,000 fine. Jarnecke's sen- tence was to a two-year term in the same penitentiary and a s5,0O0 fine.
 There were rumors around the federal building today that Jar necke had "opened up" and told the real story of the gigantic conspiracy to a department of justice agent, Clifford H. Burns.
