WASHINGTON. Doc. 29 Ten billion dollars worth of products-5.0CO.OCM.OOO of, cash Income a bumpor year In spite of drouths and other setbacks, Is tho 1013 record of 6,000,000 American farms. The. most successful year of husbandry In the United States brought forth 56.100. 000,000 of crops, of which $2,896,000,000 wero represented by cereals alone and $3,tX0, 000,000 worth of animals sold and slaugh tered and anlmii products. Tho value of the 1913 crops Is twice as great as that of JE89; more, than 11,0000,000,000 over 1909 and substantially greater than 1912. Of all tho crops, however, It Is estimated that 52 per cent will remain on farms where thoy were, raised and that 20 per cent of tho animal production will remain. On that basis the cash Income is estimated by 'the Department of Agriculture at $5,817, 000,000. But despite a record year of crop values although the record of production has fallen an.d the fact that tho number of farms has Increased It per cent since 1910 until there are estimated to be 6,600,000 farms In the country, the department, in a discussion of the subject made public today, does not take the view that a lower cost of living will follow as a con sequence. 3Vo Lower Price for Consumer. However desirable Increased production on farms may appear to bo from tho consumers' standpoint It does not follow that such Increased production would re sult In any increase in the cash income per farm or per capita of farm popula tion, pr that prices paid by consumers would' bo any "lower," saya the report. "'Had the tota production in 1913 equaled or exceeded the .1912 production. It seems probablo-'tliat' thocash' income per farm woula'not ha .bcetTgreater "and might have been less than In 1912; but it Is ex tremely doubtful whether the coat to tho consumer would have been any less be cause retail prices are promptly raised On a prospect of under production, but are very slow to decline If there la over production. "The long line of distributers and mid dlemen between the farmer and the con sumer arc .In a position to take advantage, of the market and to a certain extent control the market In both directions be cause they arc bettrr organized to keep infprmed of crop and market conditions and to act promptly than cither farmers or" consumers, who are not organized and as individuals are helpless. "The high prices paid by consumer?, ranging from 6 'to nearly 600 per cent in some cases more than the farmer te celves, indicate there !h plenty of room for lowering the cost of farm product to consumers and at the same time largely increasing the cash income per farm without increasing farm produc tion. A Marketing; Problem. "This condition is undoubtedly a mar keting problem which will have to bo solved by better organizations of farm ers and improved methods of marketing. When, as the result of such organization and Improved methods, the prlco of farm Products can be maintained at a higher level without Increasing tho cost to con sumers, farmers will he Justified in in creasing the output of their farms with (Continued on Page Two.)

Already there are In the vicinity of Guaymus more than 2,000 rebel infantry, for the most part composed of Yaqul nnd Alnyo Indians, who have excelled in the fighting In Sonora during tho pres ent revolution The cavalry was left to day to be used for scouting. The desertions from tho federal garrison nt Guaymus have encouraged greatly the Insurgent commanders. Three federal ar tillery men arrived early today at tho Insurgents' base at Maytorena and re ported that most of OJeda's gun crews liad deserted their posts. This, it was .believed., woyjd, encumber the federal ar tillery. (t was reported also that only one of the federal gunboats remains in Guaymus bay. constitutionalists 'mnj' use some heavy artillery In an effort to eliminate the dan ger of bombardment of the town from the water. The location of .Guaymas, set deep on a rango of hills, always had rendered it difficult to approach, espe cially in face of fire from tho bay, but the Importance of capturing the town to renew railroad communication between Sonora and Slnaloa litis led military of ficers hero to determine to make an At tempt at Investment, nnd possibly an as. saull of the federal position.
