Q Babson Park, Mass., Sept. 13 After a trip through the middlewest I am more convinced than ever that 1931 will be a better agricultural year than the country has seen for a long time. The farmer has been hard hit this year, but from now on he should be better off each .year. His work is becoming better organized, the government is giving him real HOMER HOOPEE assistance in marketing ; and he will get the benefit from better help at lower wages, better merchandise at lower PSSSTi don. look prices, and better crops. hoopee: jump around Agricultural prices on the whole will tend upward M HERE QUICK s, When,, the crop reports were most especially the feed-stu- ff - THIS IS a'goT'prices of farm 'products moved alarming a few TNILSON up too rapidly. Later, when it became known that the damage was not as severe as had been pictured prices again -worked downward. My observations of conditions throughout the middlewest show that fears of extensive crop shortage" were greatly exaggerated. At the same time, however, the harvest of many grains will be reduced and this will help absorb the heavy surplus, particularly of wheat. Wheat is being widely used as a substitute for com as a feed grain. Agricultural prices have apparently turned the comer and while no great boom is expected, a higher average level than , this summers low prices is likely. With general retail prices still declining this means that the farmers position will improve, because the things they have to sell will be worth more in terms of the things they have to buy. Farming Will Become More Popular It is true that the farming industry requires hard work with small profits and that many have left the farms, for HOMER HOOPEE better opportunities in the citiesr For a while these better ' opportunities existed r but now they are completely gone in - IT LOOKS LIKE THE PACK IS BEGINNING many instances, as the city jobs have been lost.

This is more than GET DONE THEY HOMER HOOPEE'. can be said of most industries. TAXICABS 'ANY INTO ME from For two or three years now the movement away the farms to the cities has been slowing up. .This indicates that the economic forces back of the away from the farm statismigration are losing their momentum. Latest census tics show that the great metropolitan centers are now losing cities population rather than the rural districts. Congested are becoming less and less popular as a place to live and work. Population is spreading out into the suburban areas and gradually pushing out further and further into the rea rural farming districts. The movement away from the farms to the towns and cities was smaller in 1928 than in 1927, and again smaller in 1929 than in 1928. With present inlfsss dustrial unemployment conditions we shall see much same movement from the farms to the cities in 1930. At the time we shall see many more people moving from the Icities look back to the farms this year and in the next few years.
