PAGE EIGHT -PARM DOLLAR | INCREASING IN BUYING POWER Index Rises Rapidly, Shown in Department of Agri- culture Figures WHEAT GROWERS GAIN Washington, Aug. 1. The agricul- tural situation promises farme some increased (economic y leverage | this year, the department of agri- culture stated in announcing that the index of purchasing power of farm products is slowly rising. At the beginning of July index of purcha: of farm products was 79 red with year 1923 representing Z 100. 10 percent higher than ever time of the In its monthly review, ment takes issue with those who have estimated a $1,000,000,000 in- crease in the value of the wheat crop over last year's crop. Wheat Grower's Gain “It is possible that American wheat growers will get from $100,- 000,000 to $200,000,000 more ‘for their wheat this year than last, as- ming that omething er 500,000,000 bushe the de- partment stated. “This is consid- erably less than the $1,000,000,000 increase estimated in some quarters, pay off debts and a general improve- ment in financial conditions in the wheat country. “On the other hand, the corn sit- uation is by no means good. Stands are extremely spotted, many being full of weeds, and much of the crop is so far behind that it will need something approaching a frost less fall to mature. The main signi- ficance of the corn situation lies in its effect on livestock production and prices during the coming year Expensive corn this fall will pre- sumably prolong the liquidation of breeding stock now in progress, Un- less history is a faithless guide, hogs and high grade cattle will be good property before this time in 1925. More Dairy Cows “A six percent increase in dairy cows in the country over last year is reported, the increase being great- est in the west. The south is con- sidered to be going through critical days now but cotton bids fair to produce a larger and more evenly distributed income than last year.” COOLIDGE MAY ASK WARRENTO _ PARTICIPATE): a \ Retiring Ambassador to Mex- ico Likely to Participate in Campaign Washington, Aug. 1. (By the A. P.) —Arrival here today of Charles B. Warren, retiring ambassador to Mex- ico, and chairman of the platform committee of the Republican nation- 4l convention, revised speculation as to what part he will take in the Republican campaign. Mr, Warren, after a brief stop- over at his home in Detroit, came to Washington to surfender formal- ly his commission as ambassador to Mexico, but it was understood that as a White House guest opportunity would be afforded for conferences of a political nature between him and the president. It has been generally presumed among, Republican leaders here that Mr. Warren would be requested to take a prominent part in the cam- paign because of his experience as Republican national committeeman in Michigan for a number of years, and because of his work as leader of the platform builders at Cleve- land. Mr. Coolidge is expected to go over his notification address now being drafted with Mr. Warren during the retiring ambassador's visit at the White House.
