to buy. Likewise, when farm lands
reach such low prices that one can
easily figure a good reium on them
oyer a series of years—a good living
and interest and taxes—it is the time
for farmers to purchase farms. I be
lieve such a time is' right now.
In some parts of the United States
farm prices are actually registering
an advance. I believe farms in many
places are selling today at below theii
actual value judged by their income
and producing capacity over a series
of years.
“In some sections of this hank dis
trict farmers are' making crops more
cheaply than in any year since 1914
and in others since 1923. This low
cost is a partial offset, at least
against low commodity prices. Farm
ers have more generally adopted the
live-at-home policy and are not spend
ing every, surplus dollar. This, and the
