FARMER WELL PAID

Prices, June IS to July Is, Are

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Prices have dropped some since but
in the month from June IS to July Is
the farmer got 76 per cent as much for
his products as he did on the average
from 1909 to 1914.
The Bureau Of Agricultural Eco
nomics. in making this finding, said
the month had shown substantial in
creases for grains, cotton, fruits, vege-
tables, dairy products and chickens and
eggs. The only group recording a drop
was meat
On June is the prices stood at 6.
per cent.
For the 80 days ending on that date
grain prices advanced 81 points in the

farm commodities to be l9 points
higher, with grains up 50 points, cot
ton and cottonseed up 43 points, fruit
and vegetables, 20 points; dairy prod
ucts. points, and chickens and eggs,
2 points Meat animal prices, however,
were down 6 points.
The bureau said hog prices failed to
make their usual seasonal advance dur
ing the 80 days because OF poor crop
prospects and advancing feed prices.
There were heavy storage accumulatlons
Of pork products. which also served as
a brake on prices.
Corn prices made important gains
and the hog-corn ratio dropped to the
lowest point recorded since July. 1924.
It dropped to 70 on July 10 from s.9
in midJune.
This means that en- the basis OF
corn and hog prices on July 10 II
was estimated that the price OF ~
bushels OF corn was equal to the price
OF 100 pounds Of pork.
In other words, corn prices were
much higher than hog prices. making
it more profitable to sell corn at mar
kets than to feed 1t to nogs, lor WHICH
most Of it is used.

burea said, was Influenced by unfavor-
able crop prospects, dollar depreciation,
and the program to reduce the 1884
wheat acreage undertaken by farm ad-
ministrators.
Cotton prices advanced % per Gent
during the 80 DAYS. the farm price on

farmers who had cotton to sell since

Potato prices more than doubled dur

That may explain one phase Of what
happened recently in the Moley cafe.
The No ] brain trustee was not
pushing himself He always sat on
the right presidential knee anyway.
But certain complications arose which
involved him in bad publicity. The
pushing appearance was created. His
London Spendings were somewhat out
of line with the domestic economy pro-
gram. Also his weakness for airplanes
created too many melodramatic head
lines.
Underlying these superfcialities
WaS the basic TACT that uhen tWO
men are as close together as Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prof. Moley
neither can easily resign such
friendship. Men OF such stature do
not act like youngsters. When one
gets upset, he does not take his foot
ball and go home.
That is why few paid serious atten-
ton when the professor returned from
London and indicated to intimates that
he was somewhat discouraged.
Rumors Are Denied.
Nevertheless, rumors spread fast The
word was passed around that Mr..
Roosevelt and his No. l man were on
the outs Possibilities of a resignation
we're stressed in some quarters. How
ever, Mr.. Roosevelt's closest friends say
Moley's influence is no different than
it was March a.
All Is quiet again on the Potomac.
Once Mr. Roosevelt puts his faith
in man it is not easily disturbed even
by more important things than expense
accounts and airplaneS.
What happened inside on the
Woodin case sholps that. The Presi-
dent hes remained loyal to his Treas
ury Secretary privately and publicly
II he cared anything about the
Senate disclosure shouting Mr..
Woodin on the Morgan preferred list
OF customers, no hint OF it has been
giUen.
That does not alter the probability
OF Mr.. Woodin's early resignation. The
