The, iwcrehiry wild that whllo there ban bo en a Kneral improve. ment durins tne punt year, farm conditions ora not yet satisfactory. DecIarluK for a (jononO over haultnir of U freiRht rates, ho pro posed that revision nhould take Into account the market value of farm products aH reflected over a rea sonable period of years, and "like wise the influence of frelfeht rules on the economic development of different retrions and of the country as a whole. Krm Prices Vald "In relation to pre-war condi tions," said- the report, "the prices of farm products are not yet on a par with frelpht rates. The level of fnrm commodity prices In Sep tember was Hi per cent of the pre war average, whereas freiRht rates on agricultural commodities wer 15S per cent of the prewar averape. Moreover the prices of agricultural products fluctuate Rfently from year to year whereaa freight rate are stable and are not frequently choused." It was added that farm freight rates should be bused on a contliu ual get of Sonera! conditions, not on those of any trlven year," un less freight rates can be made more flexible, belnir raised when prices are hiKh and lowered when they decline, within reasonable limits." Pointing to the Rreatly Increased taxes ner acre the farmer is re quired to pay now over the amount several years ago. the secretary ex pressed a view that u would be Impossible to restore tho tax rates of 10 years ago, but declared that unless a more equitable, distribu tion of the tax burden can be Jbroujrht about, "the agricultural In dustry may expect recurring per iods when taxes will consume an undue proportion of farm Income." Taxes On Capital I "Farm taxes." the report ild. f"are chiefly general property taxes (.levied by the states and the local ! units on the basis of capital vulue, and they bear little or no direct re t lation to current farm earnings." "One of the most Important fac I tors which contribute to the exces- J slve taxation of agriculture Is the tendency of many states to Im- : prove tne puouc scnoois ana puouc I roads largely at the expense of the i local districts."

' ... i, . In a general review of tne past year's farm conditions, tho re port observed that the heavy net movement of the rural population ! away from farma has been chocked. T and that noteworthy progress has 'been mnde among farmers In the ' liquidation of their indebtedness. Agriculture production for the year cs a wnole wag wen balanced and 'measured in terms or income, the general economic position, of agrl-! culture promises to be "at least equal to. If not slightly better than that of last year." Gross Income from grains amounted to $1,600. 000.000 compared with $1,400,000, 000 In the crop year of 1923-24. Grosa Income from meat animals amounted to approximately $2,600 000,000 compared with $2,200,000. 000 in 1923-24. Farm production generally last year Increased. In revenue, seven per cent over the previous year, from $11,300,000, 000 to $12,100,000,000. these In . cornea being well above thos earned during the period ot depres aloni but below the earning or nor mal years.

Itulli at homu und uliruud, th socrotary doclarod In his annual report aubiulttud to congress to day, development of tho laa yen' havo been so satlsfautory that "the way Is now clear for a mora ooin pleto world recovery." Mr. Mel lon believed underlying mo tors of tlio business situation hero were fundamentally sound and "wnrrant ontlmlsm for ruiurv." Heilcwing the events which had Influenced condition for tho better, ho mentioned, with respect tu tho I'nlied Suites, restoration ot con fidence, tax reduction and reform, removal or various factors of un certainty and Instability, steady em ployment in farm mid factory, and a generally augmented puia'has Ing power. Irclgn IVbt Solilnt Across the sens, ho saw the Im provement reflected, by 11 foreign debt settlements here und a num ber ot interallied funding arrange ments, the return of a doxen na tloiiM to the gold standard, revival of Industrial activity with Its con sequent employment, the reorgan ization of the currency systems of nearly all thu smaller no went, and the promised benefits uf the I.o camo agreement. All of there, lie said- "lend support tu thu upllill isllc view regui'dtug tho ecoiiumlj rehabilitation of liurope." Mr, Mellon suggested that tho re. vision r tuxea promised ut this session of congress was feeding now stimulus to huslnus, but ho en tered a complaint against exemp tions proponed by tho house ways and means committee, Those nar rowed tho foundation of tho tax ing system, ho thought, .declaring it should bo broaili-r if the tax pro gram were to bo successful In tlmcj of depre.-t.ilon us well as In days or prosperity. While tho !crotary,aaw no np proachlng cloud on the i-conoiutc aky. he warned ugnlnst expansion and speculative tendencies. Tho program or public economy bus hud Ha effect, us has the public debt retirement program, he said, but "thero Is some tendency for the consuming public to buy every con ceivable commodity 'on time' and mortgage futitro earnings." On tho other hand, he round business men conducting their affairs with re. atrnlnt and caution In order that tho prosperity may not bring on carelessness. Caution Hpltlt VoihIciI "It ia hoped, furthermore," he added, "that the speculative ten dency In real estate In some com munities may not proceed to the sornt ot undermining tho oplrlt of caution In business." Although Mr. Mellon was con vlncod that the promised lux re duction has nddod impetus to bunt nose plana, he counsolled against too groat a Cut, declaring that some or the reductions advocated wore dangoroua and would Involve the treasury In new borrowings. Ho aaserted that It was unsound for any nation not to reduce Its out- Standing obligations as rapidly a possible, and ho regarded the goo-1 effects of the treasury's program In tills respect aa having been fully demonstrated. r "Tho country la prosperous now and well able to liquidate Its debt at a reasonable rate," ho contlnuetl "Thnt will gradually reduce the tre mendoua Interest charges. The per petuation of a large public debt has never proved to be u sound policy. On the contrary It has often been a great handicap In an emergency." Knforccniont AVorU Tie viewed Mr. Mellon reviewed tlio depart ment's work In enforcement of pro hibition and expressed tho belief that progress had been made In re ducing tho supply of Illicit liquor through the reorganisation directed ,by Assistant Secretary Andr'ows.
