PARLEY T0 WEICH FARM PROSPECTS National Conference to Get Data on Price Trends, Stocks and Demand. { | | | | May Wed Actor I+ the Associated Press, Called for January 20 to 27, the na- tional agricultural outlook conference— for years one of the greatest annual eco- nomic influences in American agricul- | ture—is considered in Government quar- ters to be doubly important to 1930 | because of recent industrial develop- ments and the progress of the Federal Farm Board. H. R. Tolley, assistant chief of the | Bureau of Agricultural Economics, said vesterday that a slight letdown in in- dustrial activity would make it neces- sary for the conference to weigh that factor’s probable influence on the do- mestic market in determining the kind | ana quantity of crops from which the farmer could make a profit next year, In the opposite direction, he said, the cenference would have to gauge the bol- stering effects of the Federal Farm | Board's progress in helping finance and | MAXINE GLASS, | direct co-operative marketing. | Twenty-one, University of Southern fopes to Issue Reports.

CHICAGO, January 11 (®).—Such| snow and shoveling as was never before | seen took place last night at State and | Eleventh streets, and in the highways and byways adjacent thereto. Andro Pucin, store owner, had lost $1,000 in currency, and the word got around. The citizenry turned out in| droves to shovel the snow that might be hiding the bills. i At sun-up today Pucin had received | part in the conference. States not rep- resented include Alabama, Georgia. Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire and New Mexico. The lead- | ers plan to go to those States for con- | ferences immediately after the meet- ing, Tolley said. Nearly all States have | planned to issue State and regional out- | Inok reports and to hold farmers’ out- | look meetings following the issuance of the national outlook report. Commit- tees have been formed to study and | make recommendations on approximate- Jy 50 farm commodities, including all the orincipal crops. | “It is the purpose of the conference.” Tolley said, “to appraise all the infor- mation it 15 able to get concerning the | trend of prices, stocks on hand, intende b ; production and present and future de- | N0 Teport of the money's being found; | mand. both in this country and abroad, | ®d that is one way of putting it. and decide for cach commodity whether | to maintain present levels, reduce or | increase production’ and in what amounts. “The conference virtually will take a | world inventory of agricultural prospects | the same as business experts sum up industrial prospects for a manufactur- ing enterprise that wishes to gauge its production to the prospective demand for its commodity.” Tolley said the conference would give | particular attention to wheat and cot- fon, the two major surplus-producing commodities. Russia appeared in the export market last week for the first time since the war, sending a cargo from a_Black Sea to & Mediterranean ||| ort. Russian wheat. if produced in ormer quantities, would compete with American wheat, as do now the great | quantities from Argentina, Australia | and Canada. Production to Be Studied. For both cotton and wheat. Tolley the conference would study the | able world production and the probable demand for American ship- ments in importing countries. Flax and wool, both on an import basis, repre- sented the opposite situation, Tolley added | The problem there.” he said, be to determine how far foreign pro- uction will supply the -domestic de- | and recommend to American s what quantities they likely can e at a profit.” Butter offered another important studyv, in that the conference would have to determine whether present low price levels were temporary or likely to continue. Increased production of :‘.mr:r has placed it near an export asis. Potatoes. produced on a strictly do- mestic market, was given as another difficult crop because of the wide price ctuations.
