tember 26. 1932. "Critics try to discount the benefits that have been brought to the farmer as a result of the program which has increased farm prices by saying, 'Yes, but the farmer has to pay more for the things he buys today.' Here is the answer to that: “Farm income in August. 1934. \ was 80% above March 1933. and prices paid by the farmer during August 1934 averaged 23% above the level of March 1933. Purchas- ; ing power of farm products, there- j fore has had an increase of 44%. : Who says the Roosevelt New Deal for the farmer is not working?” Farley Speech James I. Farlev, United States representative from the fourth congressional district, made a s'irr’ng talk in which he discuss- ! ed the improvement of business 1 in the last year. “Last week in a meeting held at Fort Wayne, opposition speakers made the statement that the condit'ons today are not better than they were a year ago. 'Before making this ta’k I stppped into three of the largest stores in your city. They all told me that their husiness is better j than last year.' Speaking of business. Mr. Far-: ley said. “Fastman. Dillon and ' Co. of New York have given out a 1 statement that 244 of the leading diversified industries gave out reports for the quarter ending June 30. 2933. showing net earnings of | $156 673.511. For the quarter end-; ing June 30. 1934 the net earnings j for the same companies were $214,676,996. an increase of about j I 50 million dollars. “A report from Bradstreets j says, “business failures in Sep- j tember. 1934. fell to the lowest of any month since 1920 and were i 40 per cent lower than in 1929.” I Mr. F.trley then discussed the ] improvement of business in this i | city as noted by visits to leading 1 industrial concerns such as the - Central Sugar company and the | General Electric plant.
