SAY FARMING CONDITIONS

Report Shows Most Favorable Con-
ditiOnS In Recent Years

Secretary of Agriculture William
M. Jardine's report showed improve
ment in the agricultural situation
which became marked in 1924, has
continued in moderate degree during
the present year. Farmers have not
yet reached an economic parity with
other great groups of producers, but
their position is, on the whole, now
the NOSE favorable since 1920.
The heavy net movement of rural
population away from farms has
Been checked. Noteworthy progress
has been made in the liquidation of
Indebtedness among farmers. Pur-
chase of supplies and materials for
farm use has been resumed over the
country on scale contributing
to general business
prosperity.
Agricultural production this year
has on the whole been well baIanc-
ed. The successive surpluses of cat .
tie, corn, hogs, wheat, and various
minor crops which so depressed the
markets during and following 1920
