 New York, June 13-Watch the situation on the farm. Farm prices have fallen well over 20 per cent in the last year as compared with a drop of less than half that for in dustrial products. A huge wheat crop faces the country. The situa- tion in cotton is serious.
 The significance of this lies in the psychology of the farm belt and the farm leaders While farm prices have fallen more seriously than manufactured goods, the depression has not made itself felt on the farm as emphatically as in the cities. It is only now spreading to the farm.
 When 1t gets around to the farm sufficiently, there will go up a new and violent demand for money tink- ering of some sort.
 It will of course take the form of imitation.
 This is merely a guess but my own feeling is that it's objective will be to spend gold and, in order to provide more gold to spend, there will probably be another clamor for further devaluation of the dollar.
 Imitation may take many forms. It may take the form of govern ment credit which is the type used now upon a large scale. That in- ao laNcnd
 It may take the form of printing Federal Reserve currency, which would be direct currency imitation as distinguished from credit infia- ton.
 It may take the form of devalu- ation. In that case the government merely cuts the gold content of the dollar.
 Devaluation may or may not be cGective as imitation depending on how the government follows up the dovaluation. In 1884 the govern ment cut the gold content of the dollar from 40 to 50 per cent, leav- irg the actual cut up to the presi- don't. In fact, President Roosevelt cit it about 4l per cent. The ef- fcct of this was to make the gold hsld by the government worth $35 an ounce.
 But this was not effective as in flation because the old dollar re- nained held fast to a certain value through the sheer force of general acceptance. And this was true be- cause while the government cut the gold content it did not issue new dollars to correspond with the de- valuation.
 For instance, if the dollars gold value is cut in half the implication IS that the dollar is worth only half as much-haf dollar. If the government then calls in all ex- isting dollars mad issues two dollars for every one you would have ef- fectlve devaluation and imitation. If President Roosevelt had issued an additional 41 dollars for everv 100 dollars outstanding we would have had effective imitation.
 One way of doing this would be to spend the gold profit
 What now seems possible, if not imminent, is that when agrarian clamor for imitation gets under way, the government may yield to a fur ther devaluation to 50 per cent of the old standard which would make gold worth about $41 an ounce, and then proceed to use that new profit plus some of the old gold profit in domestic expenditures.
 We would then be actually in the condition of making the deyal- uatlon effective and of doing busi- ness with 50-cent dollars, but with perhaps twice as many dollars as we have now.
 It begins to look as fl we would have something like that.
