Has Hq incen
tive to Bumper
Crop Any More
Lowden Says It 13 Likely to Mean
Less to the Farmer Than a Sort
One Past Year Example.
Crookston. Minn., Feb. 10. Under
present conditions of commercialized
farming the farmer is not nearly so
likely to suffer from a short crop as
from a bumper crop, former Gover
nor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois,
told a Red River valley show aud
ience here tonight. A bumper crop
usually brings "ruinously low prices,"
he said. Using the corn crop of last
year as an example he pointed out
that the crop, with a slightly in
creased average, was larger by about
23 per cent, or '(), OoO.OOO bushels,
than the crop of the year before.
"The value of the crop how
ever," he continued, "was less by
more than ?r,o0.oo.00o than the
value of the inferior and lesser crop
cf 1024."
Mr. Lowden stated that "a sur
plus should not operate to the dis
advantage of him who produces it."
The nation should hold sufficient
for its own needs as against a less
fruitful time and it hould aim to
dispose of the surplus beyond that
in the markets of the world upon
the most advantageous terms pos
sible. A federal farm board, Mr. Low
den told the gathering, functioning
thru and in hearty sympathy with
commodity associations
could prevent ruinous overproduv
tion. He held it was vital to any
plan that it should be so formed as
to strengthen and not to weaken
the co-operative movement.
DAIRY OUTLOOK IN THE
UNITED STATES IS GOOD
Chicago. Feb. 11. Farmers of the
United States will get good prices
for their dairy and poultry products
during 192C. according to the fore
cast issued Wednesday by the federal
Department of Agriculture.
Continued heavy demand and heavy
domestic dairy' products production
are seen for the remainder of the
winter with prices following the usual
seasonal course. Feed prices will
probably continue favorable to dairy
men. Egg production during 192G will
probably be larger and prices lower,
with the average price to producers
for poultry products below that of
1925, according to the statement.
The department advises the desir
ability of greater efficiency rather
than increased production.
The mnjor factors regarded as
likely to affect the 192G-27 dairy year
are the facts that there are fewer
cows and heifers in this country than
there were a year ago; that foreign
competition will increase if weather
conditions are normal, and that prob
ably less favorable industrial condi
tions will offset usual increases in de
mand. Consumption of dairy products
war and fluid milk consumption has
been increasing 5 per cent a year,
has been tending upward since the
the statement said. General business
conditions indicating slight slacken
ing in industry and business activi
ty during the latter half of 192G will
probably be reflected in dairy prod
ucts prices.
Market prices of poultry, at least
during the first six months of the
year, are expected to be higher than
during the same period last year.
Lessons in the designing and mak
ing of the new ornamental lamp
shades can be had Monday and Friday
afternoons and Wednesday evenings
