Principal effects Of the war have
been TO increase domestic demands
for farm products through increas-
ed industrial production in antlcl-
patton of war requirements. This has
helped TO support the prices OF farm
products and the income OF farm
ers during recent months. The out
look is less propitious now that IN

Prices of principal farm products
continue below the levels that would
