YEAR
IS PREDICTED
FOR FARMERS
Secretary Jariline Says Farm.
ers Should Profit If Weather
Is Favorable

Washington, Jan. 4.-F9-A bet
ter year than last year for the
farmers was predicted today by
Secretary Jardine who said that
unless there was q collapse in 9th
er lines Of business, which he did
not contemplate, farmers generally
should profit with reasonably fav.
orable weather conditions.
I'VE are going into the New Year
with greater efficiency on the farms
than ever BEFORE" he said, land we
have learned to cut down our over
head. The quality of our meat ami
mails will be better as we have been
improving our herds every year and
are producing animals of higher
grade.
1.-THE farmers of the country are
going into the new year with small,
if any, surpluses. Prices haven't
been SO high as to over stimulate
production and the experiences of
the last year have been of advan-
tage in brir ring about more order
~ marketing.
I'VE may expect better prices for
meat animals this year as we are
not 0verstocked.
Farm prices closed the year 81
per cent above the pre-war level
and were 10 points higher on De-
cember Is than year ago. This
was mainly due to cotton, the De-
cember price index Of which was
152 compared with 81 q year ago.
Grain prices were three points high
err and fruit and vegetables four
points higher. Meat animals were
two points lower and dairy and
poultry products were three points
lower"

'TAKEUPTREND
Market Advances Briskly Aft.
er Early Decline-Wheat
Finished Firm

Chicago, Jan. !. (AP) - Corn
prices advanced briskly today after
an early decline. Falling off in the
volume Of arrivals Of corn had a
stimulating effect on buyers and
there were indications Of export
business with Liverpool corn quota
tions a penny higher.
Wheat finished firm, but kept
within narrow limits and averaged
lower the greater part Of the day.
Corn closed unsettled, IL to |
cent higher: wheat ut Is cent de-
cline to IL cent gain; oats un-
changed to Ia to 81 cent up and
provisions unchanged to z cents
down.
Bears in the wheat market derived
some advantag. at times today from
advices that although European con-
tinental countries were purchasing
breadstuffs from this side of the At
]antic, business with Great Britain
had been checked. There were also
reports current that notwithstand-
ing European demand was of con-
siderable volume for Canadian
wheat the call for United States
wheat was relatively slack.
Official reports today indicated
that in the eastern half of Kansas
and over the northern great plains,
as we'll as various other districts,
little protection from cold weather
had been received by wheat. The
market effect Of this news though,
was largely offset by general FORE
cast that the cold wave will continue
to moderate. and that a period of
comparatively mild weather will
prevail by the end Of this week.
