new lows i'm farmers hogh prices were reached. And there are higher processing taxes to come!
 It's Not Hopeless
 So the southwest's livestock raisers may be pardoned little skepticism.
 But it is not a hopeless skepti- cism. Despite this shattered mar ket, the American Royal Stock Show here attracted 50,000 more stockmen than it ever did before, and had exhibits from as far away as Canada.
 J. c. Swift, who was president of the Royal, expressed some hope of the pig-killing program.
 we hope that it will begin to have some effect by February, when the slaughtered pigs would have begun coming on the mar ket," says Swift. "That should mean fewer receipts and higher hog prices at that time.
 "But to my mind 1t is absurd to try to put surplus-producing na- tion on a self-contained basis. A way must be found to get ex- ports again.
 Must Trade Shrewdly
 "Some good may come from Russian recognition, but we will have to get a little shrewd- CT in international trading, like the Yankees used to be in the old clipper days, when we asked favOrs of none, and yet spread our trade around the world"

debts on a long-term and low-in- terest basis instead of the 6 per cent mortgage and IF per cent chattel loan money they used to get, they will be all right without any further federal tinkering with the processes of nature.
 The wheat allotment checks are just beginning to come in, and 1t seems fairly certain that more of this money will go for payment of debts and taxes than in the northwest.
 In the first place, most of the checks are larger. At Independ- ence, Mo, the cheeks arrived just at tax time, and many were en- dorsed over intact for taxes.
 When a meeting was held in Des Moines to announce details of the corn-hog program; 5000 farm CTS milled around the hotel, try ing to get into the meeting. It had to be moved to the Coliseum, and once inside there were 200 farmers on their feet at once try ing to ask questions.
 A definite impression was left by some of the speakers that If the rats ate the unsold corn stored in cribs on the farm, or if it . were stolen or burned, that would be just too bad, but no worse nthan that. For of course, in storage, 1t hangs over the mar ket just like the farm board wheat used to do.
 Roosevelt Still Popular
 It is hard to find any dimming of the personal popularity of President Roosevelt in this sec tion.. The radicals berate Wal lace as having turned conserva- tive on them," while the conserva- lives sigh with relief and say Wallace didn't turn out to be a: wild as they feared" Naturally enough sound money
 sentiment in the sense of the Old- fashioned counting house banker does not exist here. The Cham. Der of Commerce passed a mild
 resolution that they "wOuld like to get back on sound money when and on whatever basis
 seems desirable"
 This apparent heresy in such
 8 circle is explained by a banker who told me i've want anything that will benefit agriculture,
 short of sheer greenbackism." Complain on Codes
 Total number of complaints tt the compliance board was abou 600. many trivial or due to mis understanding, and there wer' only about 20 requests for excep tions.
 One restaurant, after a piteou plea for an exception, got 1t, ant then immediately cut its prices It soon was shown the error of it' way.

 Mortgage Bill Falls Short
 The farm mortgage bill is re- garded out this way as fiat fail ure. The federal land banks were not equipped to handle the thou sands of applicants.
 Restrictions on loans were so tight that many were rejected, and this caused more ill feeling than if there had been no program at all. Recently, more liberal ap- praisals and the getting in mesh of the farm machinery have eased this situation somewhat.
 You repeatedly hear farmers say that if they can refinance their

 I believe the attitude was well typified by one farmer, who an alyzed it this way: Every time there is. a farm strike, prices go down instead of up. It just ad- vertises the surplus. and your wheat doesn't stop growing, your hens don't stop laying, nor your cows eating. There is nothiLS in it except maybe the advertis- ing.

Hence the bitterest pill this sec- tion has had to swallow is the la- mentable state of the livestock in- dustry. You hear stories of trainloads of stock coming in here and selling at prices that did not pay the freight.
 Commission men tell me that such case, if true, must have been exceptionally old and poor cattle.
 Prices Lowest in Years
 Nevertheless, farmer is net ting 2.75 cents a pound for hogs which used to be as high as 22 cents, and heavy cattle, fed for a year, have been bringing 4 cents 8 pound the lowest price in 30 years. Poor-grade cattle actual 1y have sold here below a cent a pound.
 And the greatest irony of all is this: The farmer himself is being made to pay the pork processing tax, which was sup. posed to have been paid by the consumer! Not in cash but in lowered prices.
 Here's how that came about: Packers say people will pay only so much for pork, and that If it goes above a certain price, they simply stop buying it and eat other foods instead.
 Therefore, when the process. ing tax of a cent 8 pound was assessed, the packers, who had no mention of paying it them- selves, simply cut 1t off the price they paid the farmer. and
