cent reduction in (he price of most
of its Implements.
Within the last six months ho has
mado progrers In filling his hand. Tn
bor, exhorbltant in its demands a
year ugo, is again asking reasonable
wagon. Farm wages have taken one of
the most pronounced slumps in the (
Industrial fiold. According to bankers,
money will bo easier to get next fall,
and "this again will help the farmer.
Now he needs the biggest card
assurance that falling prices on what
he buys will bo followed by advanced
prices for what he has lo sell.
'Willi no assurance that ho will get
Oils card, American farmers every
where are gambling with chance and
planting an almost normal crop, ac
cording to farm authorities. '
"Tho reduction in the price of ma
chinery will be welcomed by the farm
or, but It will do llttlo good this year,"
Bald J. V. Coverdale, secretary of
tho American Farm Bureau federa
tion. "Just tho. same farmers are tak
ing a chance and the outlook is for
a crop that will bo nearly normal."
All factors in handling the farmers'
crops uro cautious about any predic
tions as to his chances of getting bet
ter prices this fall. Bankers Inter

that a bond Issue or ?40,noo,000. for .

this would aid materially In getting

There Is a grout Biipply of farm la

instead of from 50 to f 70, it was
stated by Charles J. Boyd, vlco-proal-
dent of tho Illinois free employment
bureau.
"We havo more applications for
farm work than we can handle," he
said.
The International Harvester com
pany, in announcing its reductions in
its products, announced it is following
tho reduction in steel prices.
In commenting on tho industrial
situation, .Harold B. McCormlck, pres
ident of the harvester corporation,
said:
"The principle trouble with indus
try in the United States, I think, Is
that by the severe and sudden decline
In prices of farm products, agricul
ture, the basic industry, has been
thrown out.of balance with other In
dustries. Restriction of tho equilib
rum can be assisted by increasing the
price, of what the farmer sells and
decreasing the price of what he buys
or by both processes."
