The final estimates of the Depart- ment of Agriculture upon the 1921 crops give them a market value to the farmers $8,000,000,000 below the value of the crop of 1918 and $3,400,000,000 below the value of the crop of 1920. These are figures of great significance. The farmers have produced nearly as much in quantity, but it has been valued in the exchanges at less than one-half the figures of 1919. As other prod- ucts and services have not declined in like degree, the farmers must buy much less, and all the industries are suffering in consequence. It is useless. to expect a return to normal conditions while this dis- parity of compensation between reat bodies of producers exist. It is unfair and it establishes an effective blockage against a revival of busir It is time that the busi- ness community took cognizance of the situation, and set itself to the > task of correcting it. The argument that stock on hand was purchased at higher prices has lost whatever force it ever had. Merchants*who are interested in the return of pros- perity should do their part for it, and one of their duties is to reduce operating costs. In large part the situation is chargeable to the action of organ- ized labor in clinging to the war- time wage rates. aw materials and foodstuffs have had a great de- cline at wholesale, but between the wholesale mgkets and consumers the cost of handling and manufac- turing has not declined in like pro- portions. The effect is to obstruct the distribution of goods and throw millions of wage-earners out of em- ployment, at the same time keepi: up the cost of living on the entire wage-earning population. In the aggregate there is no gain, but a great loss, to the wage-carners as a class. Railroad Wages The railroad companies struggling with a difficult situation, and although their efforts are in the ublic interest they have little help rom the public. Railroad wages in shops and for common labor are so far above the wages paid for similar work along their lines that the companies find it practicable to make important savings by con- tracting for their repairs and much other work.

Continuity of service and merit in service may well be recog- but compensation should be uy the value of services rendered. Any other system would make railroad employes a favored class, at the expense, not of the rail- road companies, but of the public, including millions of people~ who have less pay than be railroad men.

The increased cost of coal and increased cost of trans- portation are causing more unem- ployment and more hardship in this country than any other two influ- ences that can be named. No pre- dictions can be ventured as to when industry will be running full time so long as it labors under such Conditions Conditions in the agricultural sec- tions are far from inspiring, but in the cotton country the feeling is a little better. The final government estimate ga the cotton crop is 000 bales, which compares with the October estimate of 6,537,000 bales, an increase that might have been expected to play smash with the market. The ex- planation given for this extraor- dinary revision is that the Depart- ment of Agriculture was crippled in the bureau of estimates by a reduc- tion of its force of investigators. and was misled as to the acreage planted in cotton.
