Prices Better Last Month.
"As the value of the American dol
lar abroad declined from 100 cents in
March to 72 cents in July, the aver =
age of farm prices advanced from so
per cent Of the pre-war level to 76 per
cent. BY the middle of Octcbcr the
value of the dollar declined further

farmers declined to 6e per cent of the
pre-war level, rs speculative and in
dustrial activity subsided from the
sharp peaks Of June and July. Some
price improvement took place during
the last part of October.

hogs would decline an amount equal

dredweight.
Action Just Opposite.
ketS so far has been exactly opposite,
but refused to offer an explanation or
to forecast future prices.
The Agriculture Department estimat-
ed that this years production of cotton
would be 100000 bales on the basis
of November l conditions. A month ago
1885, 900 bales were indicated. The 1882
crop was 13,001 ,508 bales.
Under the original corn loan plan, II
was estimated SO cents per bushel at
Chicago for No. December corn as the
loan basis would have meant an advance
of 80 cents Or less bushel on corn held
by farmers living at a considera BILE dis
tance from that center. The loan value
would have decreased as freight and
handling charges piled up in proportion
to the distance of the farm from
Chicago.
The new program is aimed at making
it possible for all farmers who agree to
join in the Administrations corn-hog
production control program to realize
about the same loan value on their corni
1t vas said last night that the exact
loan value remains to be determined,
but that 1t is likely to run between 38
and As cents per buShel
Use Cotton Control Plan.
1t also means that the principle of
the cotton loan plan will be applied.
Under it, loans of 10 cents per pound
are being made to farmers on cotton
held by them, providing they take part
in the Administration new cotton con-
troll program. Cotton farmers are re-
quired to store their cotton in bonded
warehouses.
Wallace said that, while the original
Evening star., 1933-11-10

corn loan plan contemplated that the
loans would be available only in those
States where there are farm warehouses
acts, he Is hopeful the new program
would make it possible to grant loans
in all States where there was a surplus
of corn. This would mean that loans
would be available to farmers In In
diana, Ohio and Missouri.
Details of the loan plan are being
worked out by Oscar Johnston. director
of finance for the farm administration,
and Jesse H. Jones. chairman of the
r. F. C. The loans will be made
through the newly organized Commod-
ity Credit Corporation.
The statement predicting higher farm
income said the sections Of the country
in which incomes of producers have
been and are being materially in
creased" are the cotton, wheat, tobacco
and corn and hog belts.
Millions Already Paid.
"In these sections millions Of dollars
have been paid or are to be paid to
in production" it said. "Other areas
are benefiting as a result of marketing
agreements which, among other things,
are designed to improve prices paid to
the farmers.
1.-THE higher level of farm income,
though spotty, has already been re-
fected in increased farm buying. Mail
order sales in general are at least rs
per cent higher than they were year
ago, and in the South the volume Of
farm purchases has risen much more
than this, because of the considerable
rise In farm income due to the cotton
liar effects are being noted as benefit
payments reach communities in the
wheat and corn and hog belts"
The increase in farm prices has been
uneven with price improvement, the
statement said, in general benefiting

Farm Bureau believes that the hopeful
way is to make the best of the agricul-
tural act, the farm credit acts and SINH
lar laws for agriculture.
The method of solving the farm sit
uation by farm strikes is a less hopeful
way" he added.
Wallace disclosed that the corn loan
program, announced two weeks ago,
would be broadened to make possible a
much larger volume of loans to farmers
in the corn belt than had been pre-
viously planned.
Originally the plan contemplated Re-
construction Finance Corporation loans
to farmers, on the basis Of so cents
per bushel for No. December corn,
f. o. b. Chicago. Last Saturday this
was broadened to include 13 other base
points and to provide for making the
loans on the same basis for grades 3,
4 and S.
Loans at High Rate.
AS now planned, Wallace said. the
loans re to be made on merchantable
corn, sealed in cribs on farms, ire
specti~e of the distance of farms to ter
minal alarkets. He indicated the loans
would he at a rate higher than current
marke1 prices for corn, which he quoted
as 80 cents a bushel on farms, but it
is probable that they will be at the
rate of less than so cents on farms.
Wallace also disclosed that the Farm
Administration does not contemplate
loans on wheat such as it is making
on cotton and plans to make on corn.
It is satisfied that farmers signing con-
tracts to reduce wheat paintings for
harvest next year by Is per cent in re-

farm commodities and smaller increases
or even slight losses IN others.
Marketing agreements for tobacco,
rice. fruits and nuts and voluntary
action by certain large buyers of such
products as tomatoes and sweet corn
have resulted in increased returns to
growers Of these products. Where
fruits and vegetables have not come
under these influences, prices have
shown little increase since March, and
their purchasing power has shown some
decline. Potatoes, an unusually small
crop, are bringing farmers relatively
high prices"

Expresses Sympathy.

Salaries for $4,000 North Caro-

$45 to $40 a month for the 1898

cation.
Both Governor Ehringhaus and
Lieutenant overncr A. H. Ora
ham pointed out that the low pay
will work heavy hardships on many
teachers, but admitted that little
could be done to relieve the situa-
ton.
The board voted four to one, af-.
ter discussing the salary question
for two hours, to adopt the salary
schedules proposed recently by sub
committees of the beard of educa-
ton and Of the state school com
mission.
Attorney-General Dennis G.
Brummitt cast the dissenting, vote,
having fought for a ten per cent
increase in all salaries. Baxter

present at he meeting.
Graham explained that the school
commission had cut every pther
expense to the bone in order to
leave as much of the s16,500,OOO
school appropriation as possible
for teachers salaries, but even then
funds were limited to permit
authorization Of higher salaries
than these proposed by the sub
committees. The salaries will a
mount to 13,ooo,0 900 of the fund.
