raised seems assured. Market re
ceipts of eggs at leading markets
since April 1 have been lighter than
at the same time last year and stor
age holdings of both eggs and poul
try are less than in 1930 at this
date."
Dairy production has held up well
but storage holdings are not bur
densome. This indicates that at
current prices consumption has
kept pace with the increase in pro
duction. Pasture conditions are re
ported good in Oregon and Wash
ington, but very poor in California
and below average over the country
as a whole.
A large surplus of farm labor is
indicated which, the extension econ
omists say, is a situation which does
not prevail when business condi
tions are normal. However, the re
port finds that "business conditions
are mending slowly but surely."
One difficulty in the farm situa
tion Indicated by the report is the
weak export demand for farm pro
ducts. Fresh apples and pears and
dried prunes and apricots have been
very light and the total of all com
modities combined during recent
months has been less than at any
time in the past 15 years.
Some encouragement is found in
the fact that the general index of
farm prices advanced one point
from mid-February to mid-March,
but the exchange value of farm pro
ducts is still very unfavorable to
producers.

A New York banker has figured
out that if six copper coins recently
unearthed, bearing the date of 600
yars B C, had been placed at com
pound interest since coined, the re
turns would have been immense.
How much? Well, it's past the
power of comprehension. The Am
erican value of these coins was only 6
cents, yet they would have earned at
compound interest during the past
2,500 years a ball of gold 62 times as
large as this earth, so the New Yoker
says.
