CROP OUTLOOK IS GOOD Babson Says Better Times Ahead For Farmers , (By BOUKB W. BAR-OV} Babson Park. Man.. Jbd? *?? The t?<?

Defense spending has been filter ing through for several mon'.fc* past into the great agricultural areas Large crops, the signing of the Fulmer Parity Bill by the President, continual government baying, and other factors. all forecast bet:?r times jn The wbea belt. WHAT IS PARITY? **"'? The pasi i??bW ed various ways "to restore farm purchasing power to the level of the years 1S0S-1&14. To bolster the latest attempt, the current (arm bill provides lor Commodity Crediv Corporation loans up to 85<* of the prices which wheat, corn, cotton, rice, and tobacco brought in ltufr-l$l4. Thus, .far mers would be abl^ temporarily te provide for their needs in keep ing up with advancing living costs 'if market prices d<j not "lis* high enough to make cash a^ie> more atu active ? . Commodity prices, wage ratei and other :actors in the cost-of livint picture are moving upward gradually at the present tim-. Unless the farmer can receive something mure than ' existin; farm benefits he may find him self in a bad way in cumpetiu^ . with industrial workers for ;*-r neceasities'and some or ine iuiu - ?

Wheat is 'h one crop, however, that looks lik It is going places in a big way. At least, with forecasts of a total supply of 1250 million bushels we shall have a domestic supply equal '.o the record of 12io mil lion bushels in 1S31-1S32. Certainly. 1941 will be a loud year for the grains although from a statistical point of vjew the jit nation does not look *o favorable This is due to two factors. <11 The large carry-over. ( 2 I A big prospective cro|> The large carry over is no; such a factor this year as in previous years. After all. our rate of domestic consumption is running at high levels. True, normal export markets are shut off at the moment: but before the year is over we may be called up on to feed some of the conquered nations. Part of "he govei nment cwned supplies will go to feed our armed forces .While in any year of ao-called normal conditions 1 would be disturbed over the sta tistical position of the grains, yet I can not now ret excited over either the site of vhe carry-over or the new crop. FARMERS TO SHARE IX DEFENSE PROMTS With the rise in consumer pur chasittg__po*er. due to increased wages and dividends, more money will be spent for farm products. Not only the wheat grower and those engaged in the raising of other grains, but also all other types of farming, including cat tle and hogs, fruit and poultry, cotton and sheep, ss well as dairying will bring in more money as the defense program continues. We also must not forget that the tempt to curb any runaway ten purchasing program covers the j export of farm products under J The provisions of the l^sas#-L#ad Act. Already the combined aver- ' age prices for all farm products are the highest in four veaj-4., Washington will undoubtedly a:- ^ dencies. but after all the farmer deserves any breaks he can get. The Administration cannot conr tmue to let wages soar without permitting the farmer also to g*-'. more tor his labors ? All this makifs good news fo1 the 30. 475.000 farm population. Incidentally, the n i;nhei of .prr-. sons living on farms is about ;bt same as it was ten years ago. The census reports, however" show a decrease of. in ihn nu:;ihrr_flf^ farms under cultivation More hthan 1 he atiove-mfcmajlifcd . . . larUL . population aTe actually supported bv some form of fai'ming. ?when the dependents of farmers are ta- 1 ken into coneuders'ion With .tomcLhiiig mo. el ban uur aiWI'lsr ! of our population dependept up on agriculture for their livelihood, we. must have prosperous farm conditions before the rest of hs can lookforward to r'al prosp^" Ity. 1 believe the day is close at" hind when the farmer will re ceive his just desserts, although I think there if a better method; than by getting him to borrow on his crops. Of this. I will wri'e some later week. WHAT ABOI T P^H KS? Wheat at SI. 00 a bushel is cheap. Number 2 Red Winter wheat got up to $2.29 in 1917 and $2.32 in 1920. Recent ad vances have been due to the pas* Quotations ar e"stIT!_ bel6w" Thv prices whith may be ?expected from 85<^ of parity loans. Irreg ular swings will, of course, devel op from time fo time, but tie year-end should witness hi#te~T levels. ' When the war ends, we will be called upon for heavy supplies of eatables from all parts of the world. Hence, foreign develop ment* should be watched lose I y Hun movements of grains are already under way* to our sea ports. This is necessary to liiak room ror coming new crops.
