Farmer Stands to Lose Faster

The farmer stands to lose more.thanj/ny other group,
and lose it faster, if the current slump in farm commodity
prices should develop into a full-fledeed runaway recession.

farmers were thb first to
and fhe last to recover in the de-
jjressions which followed ^every
major war, since 1812 in which this
country was involved. 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

Feb. 20 jh-'in—
SAN ANGELO,
Del Rio may be iadmitted to the
Longhorn Basebalj League Sunday
when directors mbet to draft the
1948 playing schedule. 1 f i ' i
The results of a telegraphic poll
of league members were annopn-
ceo last night and showed members
in favor of such.a move. League
Pfesident Howard Green said a
formal (decision would not be known

Admittance of| Del Rio to the

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.”
