Average Farm
Prices Show a
Steady Increase
Show Increase of 25 Per Cent Since
the Low Point Reached
j February.
Yashington, June 13. Average
prices paid farmers have increased
25 per cent since the low point reach
ed in February.
Tho bureau of agricultural eco
nomics said today that the average
prices have increased since mid-May,
when they moved up 17 per cent over
averages on April 15.
"In the past two months farm
prices of grain rose 72 per cent and
farm prices of cotton and cottonseed
35 per cent," tho bureau said.
"At this season of the year, how
ever marketing of these products by
farmers is relatively small, so that
the rise in prices has not greatly af
fected the current cash income of
farmers who produce these products.
"In the past two months, however,
the farm price of meat animals rose
16 per cent, butter fat 34 per cent
and wool 99 per cent. The prices of
these products rose when the season
al trend of prices is usually down
ward. The rise and the seasonal in
crease in marketings have ersulted in
a marked increase in returns to pro
ducers." ELEVATOR ROBBED

Poor Relief to
be Big Problem
Again in Nation
Government Flour and Cotton Won t
Be Available for Distribu
tion Next Year.
Warning that Nebraska's poor re
lief problem may be more serious next
winter, despite potential improve
ment in economic conditions, was is
sued by Mrs. Clara Clayton, state
child welfare director.
She said there will be little if any
increase in available tax funds or
relief, government supplies of flour
and cotton handled thru the Red
Cross will not be available, and pri
vate contributions cannot be expected
to increase.
She urged summer planning to
lessen next winter's expenditures,
and said several counties had adopted
the slogan, "No Garden, No Relief"
while encouragement is being given
to canning products and the ctorage
of dry vegetables.
"Authorities in Nebraska coun
ties charged with administration ot
poor relief," she said, "have in most
cases managed their affairs efficient
ly. Very few if any people have been
obliged to go without the necessities
of life.
"In fact, in many communities,
dependent children were better fed
and clothed last year. This was true
because the needs were so imperative
that counties had to organize to meet
them, and poor relief became a ma
jor project instead of a casual job."
Mrs. Clayton said the advent of
summer and slightly improved indus
trial conditions had made it possible
for relief agencies to reduce tho num
ber of families receiving aid and to
cut down appropriations for others,
but that economic conditions cannot
be adjusted quickly enough to elim
inate the relief problem.
All but seventeen counties in the
state spent more for relief in 1932
than in 1931, the increases ranging
from $77,000 in Lancaster county to
a few hundred in some of the smaller
counties.
"Quite a number of counties have
now spent all available tax relief
funds, and some have overdrawn the
amount set aside for that purpose. In
these counties there will be no hold
over surplus for next year's use.
"Revaluation of property will
probably result in somewhat de
creased revenues, payment of taxes
will be delayed, even if a larger per
centage is paid in 1933 than was col
lected ir. 1932."
Mrs. Clayton said few realized
that supplies of flour and other wheat
products and clothing and cotton
yard goods furnished last year will
not be available again.
Advertising wrri keep t?ie wheels
of business turning, even in "de
pression times." Don't overlook
that fact, Mr. Merchant.
