Condition Of
Farms Show
Improvements
Agricultural Situation Is
Not Yet Satisfactory,
Says Jardine; Makes
liecoinmejidations.
WASHINGTON Hy tho Assoc!-
ated Dress) An overhauling of ag
ricultural freight rates, revision of
furm taxes, government encourage
ment to cooperative farm organiza
tions, and proper utilization of the
public domnin Tor agricultural
purposes were tho outstanding rec
ommendations .made today by Sec
retary Jardine of the agricultural
department In his annual report.
.Ihe secretary said that while
there has been a general improve
ment d,uring tlie past year, farm
conditions are hot yet satisfactory.
Declaring for a general overhaul
ing of all freight rates, ho proposed
that revision should take into ac
count tho market value of farm
products as reflected over. .a. rea
sonable period of years, and "like
wise the Influence of freight rates
on tlie economic development of I
difforent regions and the country
as a whole."
i Prices Not "Yet at lar.
"In relation to pre-war condi
tions," said tho report. "Iho prices
of farm products tiro not yet on u
par with freight rules. The level
or farm commodity prices In Sep
tember was 144 per cent of tlie
pre-war averago, whereas ireigni
rutes on agricultural com modules
were U8 per cent of tho pre-wur
average. Moreover tlie prices of ug-,
ricultural products fluctuate great-)
ly. from year to year whereas
freight rates are stnldc und ure not
frequently ehunged."
It was added that farm freight
rates Hhuuld.be hased on a continu
ing set of general conditions, not
on those df any given year, "unless
freight rates can be made more
riexlble, being raised when prices
arb high and lewered when they
decline, within .reasonable limits."
