THE year 1921 did not entangle itself in the 

 heartstrings of the American farmer. It went 

 out under a cloud and he shed no tears. Yet 

 this cloud, like so many of the clouds in life, had 

 its silver lining. 



The agricultural ills and ailments of 1921 brought with 

 them their own remedies. At Washington today the govern- 

 mental forces, wide awake to the vital co-relation of farm and 

 industrial welfare, are fortifying the weak places in the busi- 

 ness of farming. The farm public has created a hundred 

 active, vigorous movements, many of them now bearing fruit. 

 Freight reductions, better financing and better marketing 

 conditions, lower labor and equipment costs, legislation tend- 

 ing to higher farm product prices — items like these build up 

 the optimistic outlook for the summer ahead. 



For you, the individual farmer, all the factors in the 

 situation center of course on your own acres. In so far as 

 you are a believer in the inevitable return swing of a pen- 

 dulum, you will apply your best knowledge and the most 

 efficient and modern equipment to make your fields produce 

 bumper crops. 



As you come to the spring season you will probably

 ment that makes up the McCormick-Deering Line, sold by a
