believe that farmers should
consider the economic condition
as they go through their farming
year. Outline highlights at the
present time briefly are these:
Industry production in April was
8 per cent below March, 5 per
cent below April, 194S, 8 per cent
below the postwar peak of DC.
tober, 194S. Declines are general
among both durable and non
durable industries.
Employment rose 100000 from
March to April but was still half
million below a year earlier.
All gains were recorded on
farms. Nonfarm employment in
early April was down 100000 be.
low March. On the first of May
about 3 million are unemployed.
Wholesale prices in late May
average about the same as in
late April, a drop of about so in
the last year. Prices received by
farmers in .mid-May were II
per cent below May, 194S, and
Ito below the peak price period
of January, 194S. Prices paid by
farmers including interest and
taxes have eased only slightly in
recent months and had dropped
