This was true because the prices which drop ped first and fastest were farm prices. They went lower and re mained at these low levels long after nrices for other goods bad started on the upgrade. Prevent Farm Price Drop Unless something is done to pre vent farm nrices from drooping abnormally thei tragedy which fac ed American farrpers in the past will once again cause them to sell but. If this happens our country will again be faced with a ruinous depression. ‘ j | Timm emphasized that our na tion’s economy! is more dependent Upon the farmer than it ever was before. Yesterday the farmer cpuld survive a drop in nrices arid a slump in markets without its hav ing too much effect on other busi ness at first. But todav the farm ! economy is so integrated with that of the urban areas that any reces sion in on,£ is immediately fo]t in the other. . Falls on City Dealers and busine.sscs followed sn-it. Fac tories laid off 5.500,(^10 and nay- rolls dropped If':. Over 100,000 business firms went bankrupt. Some Recession Expiated Timm noted that some recession Was to be expected, but if some price support urogram had'been introduced AND maintained the Situation would have been consid erably eased and perhaps a full Jfiedged depression aVor.tcd. The situation we face today is practically the Same as that we failed to meet iii IPSO. Unless the government initiates a permanent .hoard, to supervise icommbdity trading, cute which bus the power, to provide a price sup port program for farm products on a permanent basis, the farmer once again will lose all he has and bo forced to sell out, thus depriv ing our nation and the world,pf the benefits, of the most produc tive group of growers in the world. At present there |s such a .price support program, but it is uot' good enough. It is not permanent. Timm suggests a permanent board which - rf—4- fiililii fiilehrifU, W. i jw. It.

C. West of San Angelo was •granted a franchise earliw, con tingent upon securing $n| eighth number. because many of his requirements could be met with his own produc tion. But now the farmer calls up on the city dealers for all the things he neofls (jlasoline, equip ment, clothes, fertilizer, labor, and a myriad of other necessities must now be obtained from city markets. If the farmer ]s unable to pay for these things he must not buy. This trade slump is] immediately felt in the nation’s markets, thus hasten ing the downward trend. This intricate interwoven econ- ( ortiy is relatively new to the Amer- ! ican scene and; presents a new and glowing problem to 4 government economists. All the evidence is at hand to indicate that a floor must] be placed under farm commodity prices so that (he farmer will have a guaranteed Income. Look at 1920 Timm cites the situation which prevailed dutfing the recession which followed the last .war. A similar problem faced the nation. Between 1914 &nd 1920 farm prices skyrocketed, 1919 commodities nroduced on the farm were 113% higher than jh 1914. Then camp the collapse ip; 1920. In one-year farm income dronpqd 66%. Wheat fell $1.16. corn $1.01, nnd hogs $8.8|9. By 1926 over four to put through Congress, but it j must be done. Timm suggests,. “Such a board, staffed with ojpt-’ standing inert and empowered/with the right to enact amr enforce'a flexible price-support program free of political shadings is the ipiswer to the problem which now ; faces our country.” ilH/jj j-!
