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."

In its study of tho boll weevil

learned ' that the cottoM Dlont
throws eff certain odora which at
I trnct the pest, and ono of those
I odors, having a certain attraction
for the boll woovll. haa been Iso
I lated so that the department hopes
to be able to ueveiopo a synthetic
odor as "bait for tho boll weevil to
attract them away from the cottou
plant." ' ... 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

better prices tor their products,
the report said, than at any time
in the last rive years.

WASHINGTON. Hoc. 11. Unrly

a foreseen by Hecrolary Mellon.
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."
