Buying Power of the Farmer
The purchasing power of farm romrn'xlltles continues to rise. Latest esti
mates show an average of 4.8 points higher for the first eleven months of this
year than during the corresponding months of 1023. according to a report of
the Sears-Koehuck Agricultural Foundation, based on the new Index numbers
of farm prices prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.
Farm prices show a combined value of 134 on November 1. 1024, ns com
pared with 100 In 1913. This combined Index number Includes 30 farm com
modities which represent more than ?0 per cent of the value of products sold
by farms, the Foundation points out. Using August, 1900. to July, 1014, as 100,
the purchasing power of these products stood at 87 on November 1 of this year
In 1918 the purchasing power was 106, decreasing to 69 In 1921. In 1922 It ros?
to 74 nnd by 1923 the average stood at 78. During the first eleven months of
this year the purchasing power of farm commodities averagi-d 82.:{ as compared
with 77.3 in the same period a year ago.
Advances In Rrain, which averages about 22 per cent of the total value
of farm products sold, and la price of meat animals, which averages 27 per
cent, have been the largest factors in the Increase of the farmer's purchasing
poorer since 1921. The grain farmer received during the early part of thl*
year prices about 10 per rent above the pre-war five-year average. This had
rlaen to 30 per cent Increase by July. At the tame time the general prlcc
level of coauBoOltle* tbe firmer ku to bay range? 80 to 80 per cent above the
1913 IrraL
