Ever Mounting Farm Imports
CrOvd Ont american Imports

Imports OF products OF foreign
farms into the United States con.
tinue to mount. Each succeeding
monthly tabulation Of the u. S. De-
partment OF Commerce tells the
story of how the American farmer
more and more is giving way In his
home market to competitors from
abroad The trend Of farm imports
is steadily upward. The responsible
ity Is directly traceabie to the poll
cies Of the New Deal.
The latest available government
figures show the startling degree to
which the products Of foreign farms
and ranches are slowing into the
American market and croWding out
home products. The latest bulletin
of the Department OF Commerce
contrasts imports for the IL months
ending with November, 1884, with
the imports for the corresponding II
months Of 1885. The rate at which
some imports are increasing would
be unbelievable, but for the fact that
the figures are Official
For instance, IN the II months Of
1894 our imports Of wheat amounted
TO 1854, 900 bushels; IN the first II
months OF 1885 wheat imports total
ed 13.141.000. Corn showed a much
more startling increase. from IL
7Ss. 900 bushels tao il150,000 bush-
els Oats we're not so bad but bad
