Farm Prices
Slightly Lower

The general level of prices re-
ceived by farmers on Dec. Is was |
point lower than in mid November,
the Agricultural Marketing service
reported Saturday Sharply higher
prices for grains and cotton were
more than offset by substantial de-
clineS in prices Of meat animals and
eggs as the all-commodity index
declined to SO per cent of the 1910
IA level.
MidDecember local market prices
OF grains, and OF cotton and cotton
seed were 8 and points respectively
above the level Oh the previous
month. Meat animal prices, how
ever, reacted points during the
month, while the poultry and egg
group was down 90 points for the
same period.
On December Is, the index was
the same as a year earlier. Grain,
cotton and cottonseed, and dairy
product prices were higher than a
year ago, though price declines were
noted for fruit, meat animal, truck
crop. and poultry items.
The index of prices paid by FAR
mers for all commodities remained
as for the past three months, at lZ2
percent of pre-war OH December Is,
although feed prices rose somewhat.
AT this level, the December index
was 9 points higher than year ago.

Meanwhile, Roy had quietly nail
ed one around the neck and his
horse was ambling toward the chute
IN short. bucky steps while the
calf was putting on rodeo of its
own. Nearly 500 pounds of buck

where Roy could swing his taut

take off on a different task.
Then Mark Hopkins and the
other lads at the chute had their
task cut out for them, twisting the
critters tail and urging her up into
the van. There are q number of
disagreeable developments at this
stage on the calf's part-disagree-
able for the chute men but amusing

Improvement in
Agriculture in 40

The current situation in agricu-
ture indicates that 1910 viii be more
prosperous for the nations farmer
than 1899. Frank Beyschlag, county
farm advisor told members of the
se-Mesquite farm center this
week.
Pointing out that three factors,
supply, demand and current price
level, control the prosperity of the
farmer. Beyschlag declared that
while 1910 did not promise a boom
year in agriculture, farmers could
anticipate improved conditions in
general.
An oversupply of some products
will hinder the tendency toward
improvement, BeySchlag said but a
more active demand and a higher
price level will overcome the supply
problem in the last six months of
the year.

ton for the state farm bureau
federation. gave highlights of the
recent national farm bureau con-
,ention in Chicago.

Optimistic Forecasts for Agriculture
In 1q4O Discredited by Farm Expert;

will finally bring return to agri-
cultural prosperity.
Accurate ForecaSter
Another optimistic forecast for
1910 comes from w. Fink Mitchell,
Sacramento investment expert. And
Mr.. Mitchel's pre-view is deserv-
ing of serious consideration for two
reasons: First, his forecasts of 1887,
1893 and 1899 were noteworthy by
reason of their accuracy; he fore
saw the recession and warned of
its approach; when conditions, as
he saw them, warranted pessi-
mism, his New Year forecasts were
candidly pessimistic. Second, Mr..
Mitchell qualities his forecast with
q number of vital ifs.
Our financial and business in
deXes," reports Mr. Mitchell. "are
again promising the full dinner
pail TO business and labor. How
fully this promise is realized mote
the "if'), depends TO a large degree
upon the extent to which govern
ment interferes with business dur
ing 1910. However, the business and
financial world is looking forward
to presidential election year with
faith, hope and charity-taith that
1910 will bring peace on the labor
front, and that democracy's profit
system will survive; hope that the
closing days of the New Deal will
bring a real and permanent breath
ing spell for business; charity for
the i'll advised experiments and
political batting of the past.
Peace Assured
with the public as we'll informed
as it is today, it is not conceivable
that our present or newly elected
leaders will involve us in war
England. France, Germany, Russia,
Japan, China and many other coun-
tries are no longer competing with
us in world trade. 1t is obvious
that America will become the food
store, clothing Shop and major
manufacturing source for u world
at war. Rising prices are inevitable
(but remember the 'if'so, bring
TO our farm centerS the first real
prosperity in several years"
"If' governments senseless war
on business is relaxed; IF" peace
comes on the labor front; If" pri-
vate initiative is encouraged and
Che profit system is restored to its
place in the sun-if these ifs"
become realities, as Mr. Mitchell
apparently believes they will, then
his optimism is undoubtedly well
founded.
But everyday CalifornianS-and
everyday Americans-have a chal-
lenging job to do if current condi-
tions responsible Tor those IFS"
are to be eliminated. It's the major
job Of 1910.

Flax Growers
Relax as Trade
Treaty Abandoned

Flaxseed growers of the Imperial
Valley settled back to the ordinary
problems of marketing and crop
culture Saturday as the final
threats of tariff reductions disap-
peared with the abandonment of
the United States reciprocal trade
agreement with Argentina and
Uruguay.
Abandonment by the government
of reciprocal trade agreements was
brought about by political pressure
and by the combined efforts of grain
cooperatives and the National Farm
Bureau federation to defeat the
measure. Imperial county farm bu-
reau, the Southwest Flaxseed as
sociation and the Imperial County
Hay Growers association took the
lead among valley organizations.
The flax market, according to
Argyle MacLachlan, secretary of the
Southwest FlaXseed association, was
strong. due probably to the reduced
prospective drop in Argentina.

December 9, 1889, in which more
than 81 percent of the growers
voting favored the marketing quota
program for the 1940-41 season. This

which quotas have been approved.
During the last two years, with
marketing quotas in effect, cotton,

for 1899 was estimated at 24,832 900
