W A8NBY,- ( United Press Staff Correspon dent) W A SHING TO N, Dec. 7— The agricultural situation improved moderately, during 1925 to the most favorable position since the crash o f 1920, but farmers are not yet on an economic parity with other great groups of pro ducers, Secretary of Agriculture Jardine reported to the President in his annual report today. • "The heavy net movement of rural .population away from farms has been checked," said Jardine. "Noteworthy progress has been made In the liquidation of Indebtedness among farmers Purchase of supplies and mater ials for farm use has been re sumed over the country on a scale contributing measurably to general business prosperity. “A gricultural production this year has on the whole been well balanced. The successive sur passes of cattle, corn, hogs, wheat and various minor crops which so depressed the markets during and following 1920 have been largely worked off. Prices of farm products have in con sequence risen to higher level«.** Oross Income from all erep production for the wop year 192A 45 w ill aggregate **2 ,1 0 0 ,- 000,000, an increase of seven per cent above income fo r the pre ceding crop year, but "only a moderate Increase may be ex pected for the crop year 1925- 29,” the current year. But, looking at the general situation "agriculture is con valescent n o * after a severe ill ness.” and the purchasing power of farm products is still 13 per cent shy of that of non-agri- eultural products, despite better prices than at any time in the past five years, estimated on the basis of pre-war average, Jardine said. ■ " I believe we must have sub stantial readjustments in freight rate«," he said. “ High freight rates constitute one of the many causes that have contributed to the depression in farm prices, es pecially In areas distant from the market. I t should be possible to make rate adjustments that take into account the m arket value of farm products, and like wise the Influence" of frejght rates on the economic develop ment of different regions and of the country as a whole." Concerning farm taxation, Jar dine said that it Is prpbably Impossible to bring back the low taxes of 10 years ago, but "unless a more equitable distri bution of the tax burden can be brought about, the agricul tural Industry may expdet recur ring periods when taxes w ill (Continued ASHLAND CLULA'" Without tiie use of me*’’ . nine cases out of ' This is a pro* On Page Six) Large Attendance at Elks Memorial Day Services An audience of several hundred persons were on hand yesterday, to hear George L.

Addressing the annual conven tion of the American Farm Bu reau Federation here, the presi dent enumerated the steps by which he believes agriculture cah be put on a sound and inde- pendout baajg. These included extension of adequate storage facilities, co operative marketing, information and advice from the agriculture department and farm loan bank credits. W ithout discussing any of these in detail, Mr. Coolidge devoted most of his speech to exposing alleged fallacies of gov ernment marketing panaceas and emphasising farm benefits result ing from protective tariff. ....
