The president's.

promise, coupled with a statement that the Harding administration had already done much for the farmer in helping restore prices and markets, was read to a farmers gathering at Washington Court House, Ohio, this afternoon by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. Harding said prices of farm products are still too low. It is apparent, he said, "that the farmer is not being adequately compensated. The administration has recognized this condition and has done everything in its power to restore normal balance between prices of cost and production. A great deal has been accomplished and I am glad to say that the trend is strongly toward better conditions for the farmer." The president predicted that the American farmers would never unite on a program of decreased production such as has been threatened by some farm leaders.
