Optimism Big Note In
News From Northwest
' lla|>|iiiit*H!t Written in Facts of Government Offtctiiits u?r

More Outlook for Prosperity
I ny DAVID tAWKKXCIC
(Cotrrtjht. IH4 ?? TTii Ad???c?)
Washington, Sept. 5. ? Optimism is coming in from the
Northwest in such a steady stream that jrenuitie happiness
is written in the faces of the many officials. of ll(t* (k)vwn
mervt whe have-had to worry about the agricultural situation
in the last three years.
Because this is a campaign
year, there is a tendency to
discount optimism. The tlrst
reports about bumper crops,
it was originally thought,
might be exaggerated.
Hut the iPtter* received by the
War Finance Corporation have
continued to be of such u favor
able character that no longer"ar<
any doubts entertained. Many a
letter reecived 'from responsible
Hources and well-informed bank
ers and business uien coincides
with other communications. The
nlmplo truth is that these letter
writers have no political axes to
grind; The War Finance Corpor
ation Is an agency which b-ndr
_ fundf^ It already has lent mil
lions. U TS tin1 "einsTfrency-hT*tt?
tutlon which in concerned with
the credit situation generally in
the agricultural sections. If crop
conditions are Rood, the money
lent will be coming back. It is
lo the interest of the War Fin
ance Corporation not to be de
ceived. So Its information may
be taken as authentic so" far
official data gathered from agents
is concerned. It U supposed to
be a non-polltlcal, non-partisan
institution. And It exudes opti
mism today for the first time in
many months.
Eugene Meyer, Jr.. managing
director of the War Finance Cor
poration. is conservative ami cau
tions in his statements. His latest
declaration Is that there will be
h/i Increase of over thirty million
bushels in the wheat crop of
North Dakota. South Dakota, and
Montana as compared with 1923.
This increased yield was devel
oped on from ten to 15 per cent
^ less acreage than before.
f This is perhaps the moat sig
nificant fact about the agricultur
al situation. For while agricul
tural prices are high, relatively
speaking, the farmer has pro
duced more per acre so his finan
cial return Is correspondingly
greater. It means that even With
a drop In prices the farmer would
still be better ofT than before. His
return per acre will be greater
than last year in any event.
What has happened in a sense
is that favorable weather In Am
V rlca coincides with unfavorable
weather In other wheat produc
ing countries. Will these condi
tions continue next year? Nobody
knows. That's the gamble In
farming always. But the bumper
crop and the high prices are the
best piece of good fortune the ag
riculturalists In this country have
had in a generation. It Is the suc
resHlon of bad years which freezes
up the credit situation.
The War Finance Corporation
looks forward to a general reduc
tion in Indebtedness all along the
line. Bankers are writing enthu
siastically that the turn has come
and that sections of the country
which were hardest hit have been
particularly favored with good ,
crops. Corn crops are not so 1
good as weather conditions have
not been altogether favorable hut
the high prices have helped the
corn growers materially. The cat
tle raisers are not as well off as
the others but the War Finance
Corporation says pointedly:
"An indirect effect of great Im- j
porta nee to the breeding end of
th ('livestock business ? which
may be hoped for a little later If
not Immediately? is tho resump
tion of cattle buying by the North
west. It is reasonable, in any
event, to expect better prices and
n broader market for breeding
animals In view of tho general
Trend of other agricultural prices
In the upward direction. The out
look for hides has been ImpfoT-l
Ing for the past two months."
The world agriculture Is a
broad term. No doubt there ar?
sections and Individuals still
wrapped In peMlmlsm but the
general trend Is quite the oppo
site.
Politics this year as always is
so much Interwoven with the
prosperity and materialistic side
of the electorate that favorable
:igrlculture conditions cannot hut
!??? viewed as a vital factor In the
riming Presidential elections. The
discontent and rebellion In the
West In the Republican party has
coincided with If It has ijot been
caused by tinfsTorable farm con
ditions. Radicalism rarely thrives
in contentment.
President Coolidge has been
told that the Improvement in the
agricultural situation will not al
together eradicate radlcsilsin this
year In the West but It will re
duce by large blocks the rsdlcsl
vote of other years so thst the
big questlcn Is whether the nor
mal sap between the Republican
and. Democratic parties In the sol
Idly Republican states Is big
enough to permit of defections to'
