Farmers have the best financial outlook in more than a decade. Prices of farm products are the highest since 1937, and farm cash income from crops and live stock will be the largest since 1929. Costs of farm production also have risen, but in smaller amount than the rise in prices and prospective farm income. Federal agricultural economists have estimated that farm income will exceed 10 billions of dollars this year. This compares with slightly more than 9 billions in 1940, and with more than 11 billions in 1929. The estimate for 1941 is more than twice the total of farm income of less than 5 billion dollars at the bottom of the economic depression in s 1932. s Farm income prospects have been raised this year by the continuing high consumer demand for farm products, the large government pur chases of farm products in the Food' program, and by recent federal legislation increasing to 85 per cent of parity the rate of govern ment loans on basic farm Estimates are that the increase in government loans will add more than $500,000,000 to farm income this year. This figure is included in the estimated $10,000,000,000 of total cash income. The higher loans will raise the income of cotton growers by about $225,000,000 this year over last, and of wheat growers by an equivalent amount. Cotton Income to Lag. It is pointed out, however, by fed eral agricultural officials, that whereas the income of wheat growers will be larger than it was in 1929, the income of cotton growers will be much smaller than it was in that year. Cash income from wheat marketed or put under government loan will total $670,000,000 this year, as compared with $727,000,000 in 1929. The addition of government conservation and parity payments will raise the income of wheat growers above the 1929 total Cash income of cotton growers from marketings and the cotton put under government loan may total close to $900,000,000 this year. This compares with more than $1,500,000,-00- 0 in 1929. Cotton growers also will receive government conservation and parity payments, but not enough to make up the difference between 1941 and 1929 incomes. The much smaller income of cotton growers is accounted for largely by the loss of export markets. The United States department of agriculture reports that crops and live stock began the 1941 season in unusually good condition, then ran into a period of drouth that serious ly threatened the program, but recently have been doing better. Total farm production may be a little larger this year than last, even though the production of hogs, pork, and lard is smaller. The federal agricultural expansion program calls for increased produc tion of dairy and poultry products, of . canning crops, and dry beans, For a number of months past, the dairy industry has been setting high production records in the output of milk and manufactured products Poultry and egg output also will be much larger during the last hall of this year, than in the same period of 1940. Beef to Increase. Hog producers are being urged to increase the breeding of sows and to feed hogs to heavier weights. The pig crop was smaller this spring than last, but a sizable increase is expected this fall in view of government assurances as to minimum prices and the favorable ratio of corn and hog prices. Cattlemen are being advised to increase the mar ketings of cattle this year, and an increase of about 5 per cent in the supply of beef is in prospect. The latest federal analysis of economic conditions is that the demand for farm products continues to be influenced by the increase in industrial activity and the accompanying rise in consumer buying power. The government specialists report that prospects are "good for the production of feed crops this year, and that the total supply of feed may be larger this year than, last They look for a slight increase in production of fats, oils, and oilsee-is- , but the demand for these commodities is increasing, and prices are much higher this summer than last. The supply of fruits may be . . slightly larger this year than last, but the money returns to producers likely will be larger in view of the steadily rising consumer buying power. ... .

The Ceremonial board was surprised that any Eastern tribes would challenge the colorful ceremonies of Western Indians who have been influenced so little by white penetration of their country. Many of the Western Indians do not speak English and their point of view and customs are known to be strictly Indian as they were before the coming of the white man. Chief Big Kettle of Buffalo, N.

Tribal leaders of the Zuni Indians, who many believe to be the most authentic and finished dancers of the West, and of the Navajos, Apaches, Lagunas, Hopis, Acomas and a score of other Western tribes are anxious to meet the Eastern Indians at the Ceremonial which will decide the championship, before a competent Indian board of judges.

One split second after Welles finished reading his statement, the Japanese were out the door, pattering down the marble corridor to the press room telephones. It was a big day for Japanese news men. Finally Ickes Wins. It was also a big day for certain members of the Roosevelt cabinet. For months and years they also had been waitirfg. For months and years also they had been urging Roosevelt to embargo oil shipments to Japan. At a cabinet meeting just before Japan moved. Secretary Ickes, as new oil administrator, raised the embargo question again. He proposed to stop oil shipments to Japan. But the acting secretary of state said co. Japan, he said, was going to a make a move toward and it would be wiser to wait. Once before, Ickes had stopped a shipment of oil to Japan and aroused the wrath of the state department Last June a Philadelphia manufacturer complained to him that a Japanese ship was loading 240,000 gallons of lubricating oiL "I cant get oil myself to speed up my own defense orders," wrote the manufacturer, "and yet I see in front of my nose this shipment of To hell with oil going to Japan. defense, if the government is as screwy as that" So Ickes called the coast guard and asked them to act before the oil was loaded. They did. Then things began to boil It did not leak out at the time, but the state department complained to the White House that Ickes action had interfered with the policy of appeasing Japan so she would not go south to the Dutch East Indies. However, Ickes held his ground. He insisted that he was not meddling in foreign policy, but that it was nonsense to ration oil and gas on the Atlantic seaboard and at the same time let Japan ship oil away from the Atlantic seaboard. In the end Ickes won. Bombard Tokyo. Naval strategists make no secret as to what they would do to curb Japan. They consider it foolhardy and suicide to send a lot of U. S. warships across the vast expanse of ocean to Singapore or the Dutch East Indies. They figure we are going to get into the war anyway, and it is good strategy to deal knockout blows in the very first round. They favor sending waves of U. S. bombers from the Philippines to raze the paper and bamboo cities of Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe and Osaka. They also favor sending the fleet, plus airplane carriers to the coast of Japan. They favor doing this immediately.

On two subsequent years they met again at breakfast and then the National Grandmothers Chib,, Inc., was responsible for keeping 10 Japanese ships out of the Panama canal. For this was not the reason. Real reason why the canal was barred to the Japanese was the discovery that two of their ships were floating bazars being rushed to the east coast of South America to grab off the trade which Axis operators were forced to abandon as a result of the U. S. blacklist Apparently the Japs had a tip that the blacklist was going to be issued, because the two ships hastily left the west coast and were waiting to go through the canal, when suddenly the blacklist was published. Equipped with .elaborate merchandizing displays, and carrying d. Spanish-speakin- g sales- men, the ships were literal arsenals of economic warfare. With them, the Japanese would have invaded the most lucrative markets in Latin America before either the U. S. or the Latin Americans could have moved to block them.

There are in America men capable of solving our production problem, and they are the men needed in congress. Who in your town, your country, your district would measure up to such standards?

When I first began taking notice of what happened in Washington, it would take a whole session of congress, with days and weeks and months of talk, to spend the from five to seven hundred million dollars then needed to run the governmental machine. In that there would be the customary pork that might account for as much as 25 or 3C million, but to make up for il there would be a few dollars cut out here and there. One year, I remember, they even refused to buy pocket knives for the senators. It is different in these days of speed. To keep pace with, or exceed, the speed of those fighting planes we are sending to Europe, the senate recently passed out 10 billions billions, not thousands or even millions in just 80 minutes, and they did it unanimously, every senator was on the speed wagon. That little item was on top of 22 V4 billions that had been spent during the present session before the last small item came along. And the session is probably only half over, another half year in which to establish new and greater speed What that 32t4 billions mean to you and me and to our wives and children is just about $250, which each one of us will have to pay. CONSIDER YOUR MERCHANTS, TOWN ASSETS WOMEN OF THE neighborhood patronized the food chains for their light packaged goods on which they saved a cent or two. The chains did not deliver, but the women could carry the light packages. For the heavier staples, patronage went to the independents because they delivered. They were used as a convenience. The independents could not deliver and live on sales of staples only and in time many went out of business. Because we could not get food deliveries, we had to sell our home and move, but selling was a problem. People did not want to buy for the same reason that we wanted to sell. Lack of delivery con veniences forced down the value of real estate. All of that was in a large city, but exactly the same thing happens in any rural community where people use their local stores only as convenience, but go to other centers to make their larger purchases. Local merchants cannot live as merely a convenience and when the local market place is gone, real estate values are gone and the so cial and cultural center goes. It pays to consider the future.
