A decline in some farm priees
during the last year is attribut
ed mainly to increased output of
several products and a falling off
during the latter part of the year
in the overseas demand for Am
erican products.
War-torn countries have been
steadily increasing their food pro
duction. However, a record amount
of American food 19,347,000 long
tons was sent to foreign coun
tries during the crop year ending
last July 1. Countries under the
European aid program got 65 per
cent uf this food.
Despite . the huge shipments
abroad, the year's record-breaking
farm output gave, folks at
home 14 per cent more food than
vs available in the pre - war
years of 'la&Wt.

"THE

Mr. Babson in his 1949 forecast on business
is urging everyone to "get out of debt, and start a
savings account."
Mr. Babson is the internationally known
statistician, who has made a very thorough study
of business and the trend of the times throughout
the years.
Tlus is good advice for any time, but Mr.
Babson is putting special emphasis on the two
pieces of wisdom this year.
This institution is ready to help you ac
