MAX LAZARUS JEWELER AND DIAMOND MERCHANT 353 THIRD STREET MACON, GEORGIA 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 POLLYANNA CCLYUM When a woman starts keeping ac counts it's ten to one that she suspects her Inis l>aml is spending more for clothes tliaii she is.
