Thinks The Farmer Treated Unfairly Statistician Says Purchasing Power* of Farm Products and Com modities Too Far Apart Raleigh, Oct. 2.?Supplementing ! the recent statement of an official of the United States Department of Ag riculture that the difficulty with the j farmer is that he is not getting a fair ' share of the national income, that ] the purchasing power of his products is not what It should be, W. H. Rhodes, assistant statistician of the co-operative crop reporting service of the State-Federal Department of Agriculture, today issued a state ment giving the relative purchasing powers of farm products and other commodities. "Taking the relationship between i priceB, at the farm, of farm products : and wholesale prices of non-agricul-' tural products," reads Mr. Rhodes' statement, "we find that In July, 1923, the purchasing power of farm I products expressed in terms of other ' products was 72 per cent of Its value ten years ago (1913). In July, 1922, this was 69 per cent. This fig ure reached its lowest point between these two dates in September, 19J2, when it was 04 per cent. "Compared with July, 1913, ten years ago, the prices of farm prod-' ucts in July, 1923, were as follows: | Cotton, 109 per ' cent; corn, 147; j wheat. 107; luty, 108; potatoes, ml; beef cattle, 97; hogs, 89; eggs, 119; ; butter, 136; and wool 229 per rout. The present trend of cotton, wheat* b?ef cattle, butter and wool io- j wards a lower average, while that of I corn, hay, potatoes, hojjs and e?gs is higher than that shown for July. The ' combined average of farm products i included, fs 151 per cent. The iat- I ter has shown a movement down ward since a vear auo." The lack of proper co-ordination between the farmer and hia mark'fttfl was attpibuted by Mr. Rhodes as the cause of his receiving uuequal re turns for his products. "The Inabil- | ifv of nn industry to obtain co-ord'n- ? atlon between its supply and the public demand," he ?aid, "usuail> t places the burden of loss on the pro ducer of the raw product."

Buick four-wheel brakes give added safety under all circumstances. They are of the Buick external contracting type and each brake has a three-quarter wrap or grip in stead of the usual half-way grip. Buick four-wheel brakes are operated with a slight pressure on the service brake pedaL They act quickly, smoothly and easily. All 1924 Buicks (both fours and sixes) hsve these new four-wheel brakes.
