The farmer is today receiving for his principal products a lower level of prices than he received in 1913 and 1914, before the war. But he is paying, on an average, per cent more for the things he to buy than he paid in 1913. The result is that in purchasing power the dollar the farmer receives today is, compared to the dollar he re- ceived in 1913, ‘worth just 28 cents. 19 to get the same he got for $1 before the war. And he has no more dollars with which to buy than he had in 1913. That is the situation in a nutshell. Disastrous Effect i “When we remember that approxi- mately 40 per cent of all our people live in the country and are depend- ent upon what ws out of the soil,’ says Wallace, “the disastrous effect upon the nation of reducing the pur- chasing power of that 40 per cent— more than 49,000,900 persons—so far below normal is obvious. “We are sadly lacking in under- standing of economic laws or in our adjustment to them when the pro- duction of bounteous crops by the hard labor of 13,000,000 farmers ana heir families is permitted to play such a large part in paralyzing our business and our industries. “For, woth the purchasing power of his dollars cut more than in half, the farmer is compelled to practice the most rigid economy. And we must not forget that the farmer is a con- sumer as well as a producer. “He must wear his old clothes, re- pair his old machinery, dehy his fam- ily not only luxuries, but comforts— must refrain from purchasing. every- thing he can possibly do without. _ “This in turn forces the manufac turer to restrict his output to the lessened demand, reducing his own purchases of raw material and reduc- ing the number of his workmen. “Men out of Work must live on their savings or on credit and are in turn compelled to practice economy by re- ducing their’ buying. This further re- stricts the farmers’ market, and we start to swing through the same vicious circle again.” Comparative Costs Just how the farmer is ground be- tween the economic millstones of low prices and high costs, however, may best be visualized by comparing what he has to give today in actual farm produce for the things he must have to carry on his work. To buy a $30 suit of clothes, he must exchange 200 pounds of raw ha |wool, or the year's clip from a flock of 20 sheep. He could get a better suit in 1913 for $20 worth of wool, which he could clip from 14 sheep. Today, if he needs a new wagon, it will take the proceeds from 350 bush- els of corn to purchase it. He could have bought the same wagon in 1913 with 110 bushels. The price of farm wagons, has gone up from $77 to $146 since 1913, The price of corn has gone down from 70 to 41 cents a bushel. A new mower today takes the price of 7 1-2 tons of gqod hay. A better mower could have been bought in 1913 with the proceeds of four tons. It takes 100 bushels of oats today to pay for a new. harrow or a single harness, Thirty bushels would have paid for the .harrow in 1913 and 45 bushels would have supplied the cost of the harness. Cotton was low in 1913, but a ton of fertilizer could be bought then for the equivalent of 180 pounds of cot- ton. Today it would take 210 pounds. A 200-pound hog would buy 50 rods of wire fencing in 1913. Today it will only buy 24 rods. Such are the conditions the Ameri- can farmer finds today as a result of having labored hard and well to pro- duce the wherewithal for tho rest of us to live. Penalty on Production - “We have ‘penalized large produe tion,” ‘Wallace says. “As a general rule, a large crop brings the farmer fewer total dollars than a small crop. And large crops very often, as in the cases of 1920 and 1921, sell at less than the cost to the farmer to pro- duce it.” Leon. Estobreok, expert statistician in the department, says the American farmer lost in 1920, in the cost of his products above the sum he received for them, a sum greater than the total of all the gpid and silver coin and bullion in the United States today. “The farmers of this country lost not less than $5,000,000,000 on the crop of 1920,” Estabrook says. “From that you can understand why the buying power of the farmer is at low ebb.” (Copyright, 1921, EA Service) Silk thread betweeen 600 and 829 yards long may be unwound from a silkworm cocoon. for \ Laces to join leather belting machinery are made from sturgeon skin.
