The Outlook for Farmers 
in 1924 
(Continued from page 23) 
(being planned for next spring. The railroads 
have not completed their repair and construc¬ 
tion programs, huge developments in electrical 
construction are under consideration, and road 
building will go ahead on a large scale. 
Many business observers believe that for the 
first time we are b ginning to get the benefit of 
the stabilizing influence of the Federal Reserve^ 
system which was put in operation nine years! 
ago for the specific purpose of preventing busi¬ 
ness crises because of money shortage. During 
the war, the system had but little opportunity 
to function normally. It fliay be that our 
booms and depressions hereafter will swing 
over a much shorter range from top to bottom 
than they have done heretofore and that the 
intervals between will be considerably longer. 
Moderate Rise in Price Level 
The farmer’s interests are closely bound up 
with the trend of the general price level be¬ 
cause of its influence on prices of the products 
which he must buy as well as on his own com¬ 
modities and the relationship of farm prices to 
land values and costs of permanent improve¬ 
ment, the returns from which are distributed 
over a great many years. Some of the most 
thorough students of gold production and the 
relationship of the volume of moneys to price 
levels believe that no decided trend either up or 
down is to be expected in prices during the 
next four or five years, but that they will 
fluctuate around a level perhaps fifty' per cent, 
higher than pre-war. Those who were most 
positive that prices would trend downward 
during the next few years appear to be less 
certain of their position. So far as next year is 
concerned, if the prospects of business activity 
are correct, prices are likely to go moderately 
higher, in which movement farm products 
should share. 
In this connection, an underground belief 
that a definite effort will be made by 7 financial 
interests to inflate prices during the coming 
year is jyorth noting. While a moderate ad¬ 
vance in the price level will contribute to busi¬ 
ness activity, it must be recognized that an 
extreme upturn would create an unhealthy 
situation which could only be corrected by 
a period of forced liquidation later on. 
The index number of wholesale prices of all 
commodities in November, 1923, as compiled 
by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, was 
152 against 156 in November, 1922. Prices of 
farm products have gained, the November 
index number being 146, compared with 143 
a year ago. It would be unfair to the situation, 
however, to overlook the fact that in the closing 
days of 1923, prices on a majority of the prin¬ 
cipal farm products were lower than at the 
same time a year previous. This constitutes 
probably the most unfavorable item in the 
array of signs and portents as to 1924. 
Foreign Outlook Uncertain 
A year ago the outlook for exports of farm 
products was highly unsatisfactory. Neverthe¬ 
less, ruined Europe proved to be a good cus¬ 
tomer for most of those farm commodities of 
which there is a surplus which must find a mar¬ 
ket abroad. Both on the basis of the volume 
exported and the dollars paid our sales abroad 
of cotton, hog products and tobacco were 
larger than would have been expected under the 
circumstances. Wheat was an exception, 
although this was due to the fact thaf Europe 
could buy more cheaply elsewhere. 
In view of the record of our foreign trade in 
1923, there is little reason to assume a pessi¬ 
mistic attitude for 1924. While numerous 
economic and political factors in the foreign 
situation are unfavorable, Germany is semi- 
demoralized and the French franc is the lowest 
on record, yet most observers believe that fun¬ 
damental conditions are improving. A settle¬ 
ment of the German reparations problem 
appears closer than a year ago, although few 
would liaVe believed at that time that progress 
during the year would be so small. 
Adjustment of Production Under Way 
Total volume of production of farm com¬ 
modities is not likely to be much greater than 
during 1923. The drift of population from tie 
farm to the cities as a result of high urban wage 
levels is still under way. The number of farms 
which will not be operated may increase 
slightly, and high prices for farm labor will 
tend to cut off any material expansion in 
output. ; 
On the other hand, a good deal of adjustment 1 
as between different kinds of farm products is 
likely to take place. This is shown already in 
the decline in wheat and rye acreage planted 
this fall. Corn, flax, and hay and pasture will 
tend to replace the acreage in bread grains 
which have been selling at extremely low prices. 
Hog production will probably be cut down 
more nearly on a par with the size of the corn 
crop. Sheep will replace cattle to some extent
