Wmm—;fil 9 Hold\For & 3 ; e For several weeks agricultural speclalists at- Purdue- university. . beepn studying Indiana farm facts and. many phases of the natiohal economic picture, and after careful weighing and consideration’ théy’ present what they found and what is likely to takq place in the Hoosier farm field in 1939, in the eleventh-anunual “Indiana Agriculturidl Outlook” report. A ‘....somewhat better demand for farm products than' existed in 1938 was one of the encouraging notes found' in’the ~aldlt H-wnsiene pecteq that farm prices would+tollow generally the geniéral price lével, like: ly moving with wild fitctiitions anmd’ reaching *. . towards’ approxiinstestability at or near tha 1826 -lével” Little or no risé was lboked for-fn interest rates to farmers. There were intimations that facrm' machinery prices in 1939 may “undergc a down ward adjustment”. This was in light of the prediction that horse pow er would be cheaper next year.

i The Indiana farm price index dropped 29 points in the yoar ending October 1988 falling slightly Uelow the level of the bage period of 191014 .or 100. This drop was one of the most rapid on record, according to the report, having. beea, exceedad only twice in, recent times, once in 1920-21 following the. World war and again in 1929-32. “Part of tho drop in farm prices was tha result of better crop conditiong and part of it was assotlated with the gencral drop in commodity, prices,” the report explained.

| “As is usually the. case in.a. period of declining prices, farm, prices fell more rapidly than did the gemneral {:vel of wholesale: prices. and mnuch more rapidly than did retafl prices.” | It is pointed out that a, striking sim jlarity exists.in the current trend of prices with those -mevements. which Followed the War of. 1812 and the Civil war. Of the five stages outlined, it is thought we have, just completeduz short peripd of, recovery, and ! . . have entered the. fifth stage of this sequence.. . . a sharp drop in prices followeq by ». long period of low and. falling prices,” . With the expected continuation of ide fluctuations in farm commodity prices, it is suggested “ . . .farmc's keep their finances in condition so they can withstand,a period of low prices. . . and to avojd radical chang es in farming, programs anq_to avcid panicy selling or oi'er-obgjqx_l'gttc €Xansion as a result. of rapid price hanges.” * . -

In view of reduced industrial ,nven ories, increased government spendng, and an.expected continugtion of, esidential and industrial building tt expected that substantial business recovery may take place during 193%. E\is should result in a somewhat kst r demand for farm products than jexisted in 1988. :

Politics has quit: the Hoosier stage, not :to.make a return engagement until 1940. Most pedpie;v:gf enjoy the two-yedr respite from political arguments. However, as inescapable as taxes.and :death is politics, and it will be only a few months Lefore talk of 1940 candidates will be on front pages: of mnewspapers, The next campaign will -bg.a vigorous one, for {he vote will be on a President, Gov. ¢rnor and Senator. The 1940 state icket will be composed of candidates or.. Governor, Lieutenant Goyernor, 'Lecmm_ of State, Auditor, Treasurer, Reporter of, Supre.ae and Appellate court, one Supreme court judge two Appellate court judges, superintendent of public instruction and pnite? States Senator.. The judges® terms which expire are Judge George r. Treuniain of 'the. Supreme court and ndges , William Dudine and Paul Laymen of the Appellate court.

| We like President Roosevelts idea that poll taxes should be eliminuted. We don’t think a man votes gny bet.fer‘ or smurter because he is able to plunk down a certain sum of money i’or‘ the privilege of doing so. Many thousands of- men and women lose hrel’r votes because they can’t af'{ord ‘to pay the heavy poll taxes of Y:he south where voting is a privilege of: the better classes.. Only one *h(rd of ‘the white residents of Virinid. vote, for instance. In VirEinia the. poll tax is $1.50. That's - pair.of baby shoes. : s s i The- voters will kallot, too, on four roposed amendments to the state onstitution in 1940. if the legislature which meets next January acts favrably. The: resolutions. were passtdebyt.- the 1987 General: Assembly and: must be passed again to go before. the. voters. The first would Enahe the. office of state superintendent. of; public. instructions. appointjve. by, the. Governor. iustgd of elective. The second.wou:d relieve. stock olders of a bank or banking comuny; of - individual responsibility to n.amount: ever ana above their Btoek: and equal:to .their holdings for Il debts and liabilities. The third Pmoae,d;amendment would: elimimate. the. provision. in the constitulon which requires. every bank to tm; Lanking operations. within 20 ears:after its:arganizntion and close ts business. The fourth refers to ankingi- toos It. would require dues rom, all; corporations. be secured by uch, Mability. of. the corporaters as. prescribed by, law. At present bank ing corporations are exempt.

{ Ohio and Arkansas furnished the ‘mos't"umiigal or freak incidents during the 1938 campaign. In Ohio the enatorial candidates, taking g tip from Lincoln and Douglas, met in a seties of six debates on New Deal policies and “standing room only” signs were hung out for each . political meeting wherc ‘they met, The idea was to a;‘buse the voters from their apparent inertia and add excitement to the campaign. It aia thiz ‘all right, ana had another helesome effoct. It kept the candidates, both speaking from the amg platform, from injecting per, on#lities into the cam@aign. In arland‘ county, Arkansas, goat glands were an jssue. Jay Rowland, Hot Sbrings attorney and. candidate for stfite senator, promised, if clecti te introduce =oa s hill gy the 'lég.‘i's_lgt‘u‘fré gjyjp,g all men over 169, it thiy 50 desired, goat gland. ftreatment for the purpose of peronal rejuvenation, This is an enel new uriraflrde .to garner votes of older men and women.

In addition he applied 500 pounds per acre of O-8-24 commercial fertilizer. He estimated the corn stimulation alone increased his yields more than 110 bushels per acre and at the same time increascd the quality of his potatoes. Ruderman planted his. potatoes on May 2 and used cut certified Irish cobbler seed, which has been produced in Maine.

. The Thanksgiving and Home Com- 1 ing day at the ‘Sparta churca is now. & matter of history, taking its plage. along. side of: other glozions cvents of the church. In some respects it reached new high marks. The day was beautiful and the at‘mosphere of the services was equally as great.

There were some whd cama from some distance, others who coula nut be present in person had written letters. which were read before the wcorning audience.

The fellowship hovr, whea all were breaking breag together, secemed to be enjoyed by all. The table spread with the bountiful supply of good things to eat was tempting to the appetite, yet the friendly associations of all present was of sreater value.

Harvy Curran’s address concerning his missionary work in Liberia was well received, After the address the questions came in goodly number showing that the people were interest ed In the welfare of others though they may live in the “Jungles.” So many expresmsed themselves in such terms ms this: “This was a wonderful day.

Corn Crop Loan Is Fixed at 57 Cents Midwestern farmers. who compiled with the administration’s ‘crop control program can get a government loan of 57 cents a bushel foc the portion of their 1938 corn withheld from market. The loan rate, seven cents higher than last year, was announced by Secretary Wallace. It was based on the federal crop reporting board’s estimate of 1938 production. - Besides the loan, complying farm ers also will recelve beneit payments of 100 cents a bushel on the normal production of their acreage allotments. . Loans of 43 cents a bushei wiil be made to farmers outside tha commercial area who did not exceed m@lr 1938 soil-depleting acreage allotment.

~ The crop control law pravides for a loan of 70 per cont of the¢ “parity” price in the commerciat area if the November crop estimate ‘s not more tahan 10 per cent graater than normal needs.’ The parity price is now about 81 cents a bushel. The federal board esimated 1938 production at 2,480,953,000 bushels compared with estiniated normal requirements of 2,2:i3,(:00,000.
