This means that the prosperity of the farmer is not so dependent upon the volume raised as upon the price of the prod: uct. Furthermore, the price today depends upon world conditions rather than on local conditions. The price which the Dakota wheat grower receives depends not so much on the crop conditions in Dakota as on the crop conditions in Europe and South America. Bumper World Wheat Crop.

Su price {rregularities as we shall see during the next few wecks will be due to the fact that the period of heavy marketing is at hand. Statis- tics show that irregularities of price usually occur after harvest time, or the perifod of the year we are now in. The estimated world total will clear- 1y exceed last year's volume, which means that the violent price fluctua tions of a year ago should not be re- D. C, at the present time s not one that greatly concerns the American farm- er. I refer to the sugar crop. The world supply of sugar today is great- er than ever before and the very low price at which raw sugar is selling seems to be justified by statistics. Total Crop Values Enormous, The total value of farm products based on prices at the farm for the current season {s estimated at $14. This figure is equal to the aggregate world production of gold for 37 years; it exceeds by marked margin the world’s total avail able supply of gold for currency pur- poses: it is $3,000,000,000 greater than | . the entire foreign war debt to the United States; it exceeds total mer chandise imported and exported last | year by $6,000,000,000. Tt would require three years of rec ord buflding such as was witnessed in 1822, 1923 and 1924 to equul this $14,000,000,000. 1 might give many other iilustrations to show what these crops mean to America, but let me say | in conclusion that they would pay | nearly five times all our annual ex-| penses of Government, including in terest on the funded debt. i They represent five times the value | of all our shipping and the value of | one year's crop would almost pur- chase the country's entire raflway system, or anything else desired. General business is stll on its up. ward turn, it now registering 11 per cent above normal by the Babsonchart. The feeling is distinctly better in most sections of the country.
