You do not need to be told that Agriculture is the
most imdortant business in the world. All human be­
ings must be fed aud clothed. There will always be a
market for farm produce and at profitable prices based
on normal values and conditions. Do not forget this.
THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE MARKET ON THE FARMER’S PRODUCTS OF
FOOD FOR MEN, FEED FOR ANIMALS. MATERIALS FOR CLOTHING- MAKES THE
FARMER A PESSIMIST. HE THINKS THAT THE WHOLE WORLD IS AGAINST H B f;
HE IS OVERLOOKING THE REAL SITUATION. IF HE WILL STOP TO THINK, H i
KNOWS THAT AMERICA FOR SEVERAL YEAR8 PAST HAS BEEN THE LEADING
CREDITOR NATION. ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD OWE US MONEY; IF THEY
WERE TO PAY UP THERE WOULD BE MONEY tH THE BANKS OF AMERICA PLEN­
TY AND TO SPARE TO FINANCE ALL THE BUSINESS OF AMERICA AND AN AMPLE
SURPLUS TO LOAN ABROAD. THIS IS ONE FACTOR IN THE INABILITY OF THE
BANKS AT THE PRESENT TIME TO ADVANCE MONEY ON CROPS AND BUSINESS
ENTERPRISES IN THE DEGREE THAT SEEMS TO BE NEEDED. HOWEVER, THE
FACT REMAINS THAT THE LOANS AT THE PRESENT TIME BY THE BANKS OF
AMERICA ON BUSINESS AND TO FARMERS IS IN EXCESS OF ANY PREVIOUS
PERIOD.
THE FARMER ALSO THINKS RIGHT NOW THAT FARM PRODUCTS ARE BE­
ING SOLD AT PRICES OUT OF LINE WITH OTHER PRODUCTS. IF HE WILL STOP
TO CONSIDER, HE KNOWS THAT IN THE FALL OF EVERY YEAR THE PRICES ON
HIS PRODUCTS ARE USUALLY THE LOWEST OF ANY PERIOD OF THE YEAR. THIS
IS BUT NATURAL, BECAUSE AT THAT TIME THE VERY LARGE PRODUCTION OF
THE YEAR IS READY FOR THE MARKET AT PRACTICALLY ONE TIME.
There is no change in the present Ford car
and truck prices, which are already at the lowest
possible figure and now with Rock Bottom reached
on the tractors price; a further reduction on eithe
the car, truck or tractor is out of the question. In
fact the big price cuts have been made in anticipa­
tion of continued maximum production and IN­
CREASES may be neoesaary before long if a larger
volume of new business is not obtained. Therefore
present prioes of Ford products cannot be guaran­
teed against possible increases.

Production . . . .
DURING THE WAB THEBE WAS A WIDE MABKET FOB f ABM PRODUCE OF
ALL KINDS; ALMOST AMT PBICE WAS PAID WILLINGLY. AMERICA’S SURPLUS
PRODUCTION FOUND AMPLE MABKET IN EUROPE AND OTHER PARTS OF THE
WORLD. NOW FARMERS IN EUROPE ARE GETTING BACK TO PROFITABLE PRO­
DUCTION, AND THE AMERICAN FARMER WHOSE ONLY MARKET FDR HIS SUR­
PLUS PRODUCTS IS AMONG THE OTHER NATIONS MUST PRODUCE AT PRICES THAT
WILL PERMIT HIM TO SELL IN COMPETITION WITH THE OTHER NATION OF THE
GLOBE.
NOW. THE FARMER HAS A LARGE INVESTMENT IN LAND, BUILDINGS AND
EQUIPMENT; HE MUST MAKE THIS INVESTMENT PROFITABLE. HOW? HE
MUST INCREASE HIS PRODUCTION BY BETTER METHODS OF TILLING, BY PROP­
ER ROTATION OF CROPS. BY INCREASED EFFICIENCY OF HIS OWN LABOR AND
ANIMAL LABOR, BY THE USE OF FARM MACHINERY, THOROUGHLY UP-TO-DATE.
IN FACT. THE FARMER MUST EQUIP HIMSELF WITH MODERN. UP-TO-DATE, LA­
BOR-SAVING MACHINERY AND UNDERTAKE TO GET A GREATER PRODUCTION
AT A LESS COST. IT IS THIS INCREASED PRODUCTION THAT WILL MEAN PROFIT
AND PROSPERITY TO HIM. IN OTHER WORDS, THE FARM, WHICH WE CALLED
A FACTORY. MUST BE MORE EFFICIENTLY CONDUCTED. THE AMERICAN FARM­
ER IS NOW IN COMPETITION WITH THE FARMERS OF THE WORLD; HE CANNOT
FARM CARLESSLY; HE CANNOT EXPECT MORE THAN A REASONABLE MARGIN
OF PROFIT FROM HIS EFFORTS; HE MUST INCREASE IN EFFICIENCY IN EVERY
WAY POSSIBLE.
