NEBRASKA FARM DATA COMPILED Report to Be Given by Parkhurst at National Statistical farts portraying the economic condition of Nebraska agriculture have been prepared by the state and federal division of agricuitural statistics. A. E. Ander- announced Monday, for presentation bv J.

W. Parkhurst of Lincoln at a national meeting of the Automotive Electric a.ssociation beginning Monday at French Lick, Ind. The meeting, Mr. Ander.son said, I.S a nation wide conference to dis- CU.SS the marked reduction in farm buying power. Mr.

be obtained only when there is a proper balance among all mdustncs. One contributing factor to the present depression is the price between agriculture and other industries. The purchasing i power of the farmer's dollar for the past decade has averaged about 85 cents and during Augast it dropped to 59. Decline Noted. gros.s farm Income for tne year ending June 30, 1929, just before the depression, reached a total of $496.059,000.

the year ending June 30, 1931, it has dropped to $.321.187.000, a decren.se of more than 35 per cent. This heavy decline does rot tell the full story. During the vear ending June 30. IDyr). the purchasing power of the farmers dollar aieraged 88 4 On this basis, he farm income for that period would purchase worth of manufactured products, the year ending June 30.

1931 the average purchasing power of the farmers dollar was 69 5 which If ap- plied to the gross farm income for that period would reduce the amount to $223,225,000 when ex- pres.sed in terms of manufactured cnmraoditles bought. A compari.son of the farm purchasing power shows an actual decline since 1929 of 49 cent instead of 35 indicated by the drop in gross farm Income. The Yresent power of the dollar is 10.5 points below the for the year ending June 30. 1931. which to the serious condition.

Crop Value lajwer. value of Nebraska's leading crops this year based upon August 15 orlce.s is $160.489,000. The value of the 5-year average crops, 1925-29 on the basis of the 5-year average I price for that Ls $387,896,000. The value of the present crop is therefore .58.6 per rent below the year period preceding the present depression. With the August purchasing power at .59, the 1931 crop production if sold for cash would purcha.se only $94,689,000 worth ot manufactured products on the basis of present and pre-w'ar relationships of prices of farm products and manufactured products.

''This unbalanced between agriculture and other industries must be remedied before agriculture can resort to normal buying. The onlv solution to the lost farm buying power is price equality between the products of agricultre and thase of other industry. Agricultures problem is not a selfish one. It affects thi interests of all Industry and in fact the welfare of the country. If agriculture could get price equality with other Industry today, it would bo a large factor in brlng- ing baiTc Norfolk tv ill Vote Natural Gas Tuesday Some Opposition Is Developed to Franchi.se Offered by lowa- Nebra.ska Company.
