IMPORTS COMPETE
WITH j. s. FARMS
American Agriculture Held in
Danger Because of Com
petitive Prices.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March lS.-More
than one-half OF all the agriculture
products imported during 1925 Were
In direct competition with or tended
TO displaCe American farm products
IT Is shown hy figures made public
yesterday by the National Industrial
Conference board
\ statistical table issued by the
board showed that of a total of sl.S1S,-
100000 vt imports. s1.056. 00n. n00
worth consisted of products such as
are produced by American farmers.
These included animals. meats. eggs
milk and their products. Drains.
feeds. vegetables. fruits. sirups and
honey hulkcd large in the lists
While some of these We're imported
because not produced in sufficient
quantities in the United States, the
board stated. this was the case
rather because production cost and
competitive market prices do not
leave Il sufficient margin 10 make II
profitable 10 produce them here.
Decline Viewed as Menace.
The decline of production in pro-
portion 10 population the board
viewed as a direct menace TO the eco
homie stability of the Nation, declar-
lug that agriculture, as the chief
source Of the food supply of the Ma
ton. and because of its large pur-
chasing power. is the balancing fac
tor Of oUr NATIONAL security.
AS an indication Of the imnorta nj
place in national economics held by
the farm. the board noted the follow
ing facts:
Tho agricultural industry normally
buys 81 H00 0n0 600 worth of goods
and services of other industries an
nually.
Its products constitute nearly one
half of the total value of our exports.
Farms and farm property represent
more than one.fifth Of our total M.
tiona tangible wealth.
S65, 900 .OO0. 600 Invested.
The total capital invested in acrcul-
tnre in 1927 at current values
amounted To $6l 600 600 900. as COM
pared with S44 600 600 600 invested in
tho manufacturing industries.
The board urged that inasmuch as
the farming population constitutes
nearly one-third Of our total popula-
ton. il is a vast reservoir of future
citizens and justly claiming weishty
consideration in the mana cement of
the affairs of the Nation.

Tahr, unless one is an ordinary goat
and so can't help it.
"Of course in such case it would

But I'm glad'I'm Mrs. Tahr, a wild

interesting animals come"
"And I'm glad I'm Teddy Tahr,"
said her mate, "and that the little ones
are the Tahr children-for they enjoy

So Billie Brownie, who heard this

quite interesting to think of Daddy
Teddy Tahr as the story teller of the

But on Billie's way home he stopped
off to see Mr.. Walrus. whose fussy

'"There are some creatures who will

Dear me-" said Mr. Walrus, "you
are so unintelligent, Mr.. Harbor Seal.
"Still, am interesting enough to
live in a ZOO" said Mr.. Harbor Seal.
THAT doesn't mean much" said Mr..
Walrus. "Now I am of far more i'm
portance."
mo doubt you're right. but tell me
why?" said the Harbor Seal.
"You," said Mr.. Walrus, "come from
the coast along the Atlantic ocean.
| That is all we'll enough, but you're

rarely found in a ZOO because I insist

"Clams are what I like, clans are

"And I'm so big. l weigh more than

things. Insist upon getting what you
want"
"Well."' said the Harbor Seal, 'it IS
a good thing that all creatures aren't
so fussy and that there aren't many
Of you around to go to all that bother
about"
But Mr.. Walrus was sitting on his
t1ippers. His skin was very wrinkled
and he looked half asleep. He was
just enough awake to say again proud
ly that he was a particular Atlantic
Walrus and that was what Billie
Brownie wanted to hear.

Industrial activities and employment

provement during July, with 1nd1ca-
tions for further Improvement dur
ing August. A slight shortage Of ex-
perienced metal miners and also quite
a number of men for work on the
Guernsey dam project near Wheatland
are reported. Seasonal agricultural
activities are increasing, particularly
haying and general harvest work. In
dications are that labor will be avail
able during August to supply demands
for seasonal harvest work. Industrial
plants are reported as maintaining
normal operations. The oil refineries
are running steadily, with some con-
struction work under way. Coal min
ing, particularly in the Rock Springs,
Gebo and Sheridan districts, is ex-
pected to increase during August.
Many coal miners are temporarily en-
ployed in seasonal outdoor activities.
Oil field operations reported steady
with sufficient labor available. Build
ing continues but moderately active.
Construction is under way on the Tor
rington beet-sugar factory and on the
Guernsey dam, the latter project is in
need Of approximately 800 additional
