STATE ECONOMIST
ON FARM OUTLOOK

Charscs IN production must be
worked out in the light of exper-
fence of land values, of credit and
labor supply, of equipment. Of
what n wants or car do, says
Paul Carpenter, extension eco
nomist in a recent copy of the
Montana Agricultural Outlook. The
puzzle is not what business acti-
witty is but it is what may devel-
ope in industrial activity, employ
ment, pay rolls, on main markets
for farm and other products. De-
pr ssions in agriculture are not
new, says Mr.. Carpenter, as these
have occurred periodically through
out the history of the nation. The
present period of low activity and
slow markets is much like other
similar times but the effects are
wider spread than formerly and
the danger to individual operators
is somewhat greater.
These depressions have all had
three distinct phases. Start with
the boom phase. with prosperity
general and a tendency to
o~ver-produce and over-buy. Sud
denly confidence is lost, prices
tumble and the second phase has
grown out of the first. The up
turn always has been gradual.
Raw materials including those Of
agriculture are needing laborers
put to work, buying of foods,
clothing and everything else be-
comes nor general. This is the
first of real prosperity.
No one knows when a general
Improvement in business activity
will take place in this country.
If the curse of other periods Of
depression meal anything, there
should be some Improvement in
-931 followed by continued gains

Mr.. Carpenter if the course
