I I RASED on the fair exchange relatfonshlp with prices of things farmers buy, hogs during the past 1 ; decade have had materially less purchasing power than they bad fn the pre-war period. In 1933, it took about eight bogs to buy what three hogs would buy In the 1910 14 period as Indicated above., Ln all the years since 192021 (excepting fn 1925 26 when there was a temporary reduction In hog supply) the purchasing I

"A few years ago <>p- | orators of sugar factories did not think thul such a contract as in I use now would be possible. Today I most factories in Ohio and Michi- | gan are operating on a similar contract.” I Dr. Brock urged (he public and I the farmers to use their own proI duels. He called on everyone to , demand and use beet sugar and [ flayed those who used oleomargI erine instead of butter. “Yon j farmers who sell your butterfat : to the creaAnery and then buy ofeo ! should blush when yon look the old cow in the face." Dr. Brock humorously expounded. Mr. Settle mentioned some of the legislation passed in the state and by Congress in the interest of farmers and agriculture. He recalled that through effort.- ot (he farm bureau, a special session of the Indiana legislature was called last year and taxes were reduced in the state. He told of the activities of the bureau in regards lo promotion of ' agriculture legislation in Congress. He said President Roosevelt was ‘ a friend of the farmer and that he had surrounded himself with i men who understood agriculture j problems and wished to help the ! fanner. President Roosevelt sign•]ed the Agriculture Act af'er it ' had been approved by the leading ! farm authorities in the country. Mr. Set le urged farmers to co-

Observers say the incident was the wellknown “last straw," as Tracy’s career in movies has been marked with I a succession of escapades that brought grey hairs to the heads of film executives. The “bad boy” of Hollywood can be very docile when he I. likes, as witness him in a tender scene with Madge Evans in one of I the films that brought him fame.

power of hogs has been on a general downward trend. In 1932, the fair exchange value of hogs was $7.75 per hundredweight. The prices of things farmers buy averaged slightly above their prewar level. But the actual farm price of hogs In 1932 was only $3.47 per hundredweight, or $4.28 below fair exchange value. Fair exchange value means the pre-war price for hogs only when the price of things farmers buy Is at the pre-war level. If the prices of j

! operate with the government in its desire to help the farmer. ' "The legislation passed is the most beneficial ever adopted hy ] American government," the farm i bureau head stated. Mr. Settle stated that better days were ahead for the farmer. [This year the farm income will be increased two billion dollars I and higher prices will be obtained | next year. [ The farm bureau head said that i the state gross income tax would • not he repealed, because through : this means of taxation, a heavy I burden was taken off of farm I lands and city real estate "In the next legislature we'll make the $1 • and SI.SU tax levies mandatory I and there will not be any enterg- , ency clause attached to the law ] to permit the boosting of local i tax rates above that figure.” He pointed out the benefits of the state taxation system and that 1 eventually all the schools in the state would he supported by the gross income tax. thus relieving the tax burden from property. Dr. Brock brought out an important poin: in regards to the beet sugar industry. “This year the growers in Indiana. Ohio and Michigan will receive approximately $12,500,000 on the 50-50 contracts. That's something and , indicates what can be done if everyone insists on using Amerii can made sugar. Your local factory will pay the growers about , $500,000 and to keep this amount .I in your community all you are asked to do is to insist that tlie . [ grocer sells you Decatur-made or beet sugar." the beet sugar repre- ; sentative emphasized. The meeting was sponsored by . the Farm Bureau, augmented with

I things farmers buy become double tbelr pre-war level, then the fair exi change value will be double the prewar price of hogs. The corn-hog production adjustment program under the Agricaltural Adjustment Act seeks to raise hog prices tc the current fair es change value. This may be done by bringing production Into better balance with the most profitable demand through a reduction In 1934 of 25 percent In bog production and 20 | percent in corn acreage.
