cluded that this section was actually
less damaged by the depression thar
were many other communities. He ais
compared prices now paid Tor farm
produce with those paid 20 or so year:

bad and people were then able to make
living and pull out of the hard times
Mr.. Chester then swung into dis
cussion of more serious problem
With slow and quiet delivery, th'
speaker said the nation today is faced
with a most grave condition, condi-
