OUTLOOK BRIGHTER
FOR 1881 FARMING
U. S. Official Tells Indian
apoIiS Bureau of Several
Favorable Signs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, January TO-
An outlook for agriculture in 1881 Ger
tainly brighter" than the depressed con-
ditions of the past year was seen today
by r. w. Dunlap, Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture.
In an address prepared for delivery
before the Marion County Farm Bureau,
Mr.. Dunlap said that department econ
omists believe that by the second half
Of this year demand (for agricultural
products) will be improved"
Moreover" he continued, ''the prob
ability is good for more favorable CHI
matte conditions; certainly there will be
no such drought as was experienced in
1880. Also, the indications are good
for lower production costs and lower
retail prices for materials used for
farm operations and farm living"
Severity Of Depression.
Reviewing the past year, Dunlap said
that the worldwide depression in bust
ness was much more severe than any
one expected it to be, and consequently
the decline in demand for farm PREDICTS
exceeded expectations. Moreover, he
added, "the worst drought we ever eX-
perienced has withered the returns Of
thousands Of farmers"
Cause Of Reduced Value.
Mr.. Dunlap recalled that decreased
production, together with lower prices
for major farm products, reduced the
valuation Of the 1880 crop to about 1928
per cent of the valuation in 1929.
Regarding the Farm Board. the As
sistant Secretary said that one of the
great needs Of the farmers today is an
improved marketing system that will
get for them the full market value of
their product"
The work of the Farm Board and
enactment Of the agricultural market
ing act, he believed to be a move in the
right direction. It will take time, how
ever, he added.
