The Agricultural Outlook Recent agricultural developments indicate that the cash position of American farmers continues to im prove but suggests that the adminis tration considers the agricultural sit uation in some of its phase as still in need of government assistan ce, states the current issue of The Guaranty Survey, published by the Guaranty Trust Company of New York. The level of prices received by farmers is close to the pre-war pa rity with that of prices paid by them for comodities that they purchase. Unquestionably, the increased con sumption of agricultural products, higher prices, and the aid given, to the industry by the Administration since the beginning of the depres sion have worked to place American farmers as a group in the best po sition in many years. The expectation of a large winter wheat crop in the face off high prices The Survey continues, adds one more element of encouragement to the agricultural outlook. The of ficial crop report stated that the condition of winter wheat indicates a crop of bumper proportions, de spite an acreage abandonment of 17 per cent. Last autumn 57,187,000 acres were planted to wheat, the highest figure on record; and the acreage left for harvesting is also the largest recorded, with exception of that in 1919. The promise of a bum per crop appeared at a time when farm stocks of wheat were the lowest in twelve years for which records have been kept. The House Agricultural Commit tee, contrary to the President’s wish es, voted to eliminate the provisions of the Farm Tenancy Bill calling for the expenditure of $50,000,009 annually by the government for the purpose of financing capable farm tenants desiring to own their own farms. Last February the President submitted to Congress the report of his Special Committee on Farm Ten ancy and urged that the committee’s recommendations be adopted. Fur thermore, the day before the House Agricultural Committee voted on the bill, the President requested that the provisions authorizing government aid to tenants desiring their own farms be approved. Press reports in dicate that the President realizing the strength of the opposition to this provision, had made it know that he would be satisfied if the princi ple of government assistance to farm tenants were incorporated in the bill without reference to any specified appropriation for putting the prin ciple into effect. FARM TENANCY BILL The Farm Tenancy Bill was re-' ported to the House of Representa tives along with one majority opin- PAINTING I SERVICE!

The bill calls for expenditures of $50,- 000,000 annually for the next five years for loans for tenant pur chases, of $75,000,000 in each of the next two years for rehabilitation loans, and of $70,000,000 over the next two years rehabilitations chases of submarginal farm lands. The majority report stated that the bill would improve the farm tenant situation and demanded a reduction in taxes on farms as a means of im proving the farmer’s position. One of the majority reports declared that while the purpose of the bill is to convert farm tenants into farm owners, its objectives would be de feated unless a time limited were specified during which a new owner could not transfer title of his pro perty. Otherwise, it was pointed out, the government would be aiding not farm owners but land specula tors. The recommendations of the Sen ate’s special committee for investi gation of cotton-marketing practices have been, placed before the Senate Agricultural Committee, and a study of these findings commenced about the middle of last month. The special committee’s report is based on a two-year survey of cotton-mar keting conditions, and it contains suggestions for a number of specific reforms. Among other things it is p;y>uo:.?d to eliminate or curtail official cotton crop estimates, which, although admittedly compiled along scientific lines, are referred to as nothing more than “scientific gues ses” that often lead to price move ments which are not justified by future developments.

THE WEAKNESS OF ESAU Gen. 25: 27-34 27 And the boys grew: and E’sau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field: and Ja’cob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. 28 And I’saac loved E’sau, because he did eat of his venison: but Re bek’ah loved Ja’cob. 29 And Ja’cob sod pottage: and E’sau came from the field, and he was faint; 30 And E’sau said to Ja’cob, Feed me, I pray thee, with the same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called E’dom. 31 And Ja’cob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. 32 And E’sau said, Behold I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? 33 And Ja’cob said, Swear to me this day; and he swear unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Ja’- cob. 34 Then Ja’ccb gave E’sau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus E’sau despised his birthright. Gen. 27: 41-45 41 And E’sau hated Ja’cob be cause of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him; and E’sau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will slay my brother Ja’cob. 42 And these words of E’sau her elder son were told to Re-bek’ah: and she sent and called Ja’cob her younger son, and said unto him, Be- 11 s Time lsiJb To Build And We Can Help You More people are building today than in many years.
