A BUILDING BOOM ' Indications- nre that the first important industry to ex perience a revival will be. the building industry. The country is admittedly short of buildings more' than it is" of anything else, and can use to udvuntage air the houses that. can possibly be constructed for several yours to. come. There will be a serious shortage of office and store space and factory buddings too ,as soon as condition approach normal again, and there- is a growing conviction that the time, to pix-piire for future ex pansion is before the expansion begins. Falling prices are adding greatly lx this tendency. The cost of brick, lumber, cement, steel and' nearly all other . build ing materials has gone down, considerably, partly in, harmony with the general subsidence of price' levels and partly as a result of threatened prosecution for . price-fixing. The recent reductions made by the United Stales Steel Corporation 'r are already having a wholesome effect. .' Money Is still rather tight, but in accordance with the pol . icy of the Federal Reserve Board, bunks nearly everywhere are making o special effort to provide loans for new construction, especially homes. I ' ' The chief remaining difficulty is wages. Skilled" labor in the building1 industries is paid, n general, higher than in any other industry except possibly Railroading. There is a strong esistence to wage reductions. ( However, many of the building unions in the slate have already announced wage cuts, which should be a still further inducement for building.

Cotton seems to be the only exception of importance. This report indicates Ihe true spirit of the American farm er, his optimism In the face of discouragement nnct his actual love of his job and of the acres which he tills. In an era given over to industrial unrest and slacking, it is a comfort to turn to the annals of agriculture. The farmer may complain, he may rail at the government, at the weather, the consumer and fate, but when planting time comes he plants. It is the cloim of the soil which keeps nations sound. It is the claim of the soil which brings them back to order out of chaos. Russia will emerge presently from her welter, the greatest exponent of this truth. Her farmers will, save her. "Thus the farmer sows his seed," chant the school child ren, circiling in the spring sunshine prophets at play for, sure enough,, he doesl And it is well for the nation that this is true. As.
