Arnold, rural economist a t the Ohio State University, who after studying crop and livestock production figures finds a decrease rather than an increase in production during the last two or three years, Two rather significant factors to which jnest Authorities attribute the cause of the drastic decline in agri­ cultural prices during the last two years, he says, are the drop in the general price level of all commodities ~ and the loss of export trade. That such price declines are not due to overproduction, he believes is shown by the fact that the gross vol- ume of air~cfbp producfidiTlSr the"TL— S. during-the three years 1929, 1930, and 1931, average about three per cent lower than an average of the five years from 1924 to 1928. In not one of the years from 1929 to 1931 inclus­ ive was total crop production of the U. S. increased about five per cent during this period that total crop pro­ duction was below average. In the case of wheat production he finds that during the three years of 1018, 1919, 1920, the average produc­ tion of wheat in the U, S. was 907 tril­ lion bushels and the average farm price on December 1 was *1.88 per bushel, - During the last three years the average production has been 854 - million bushels or 6 per cent less, but ' the average .December price has been 69 cents n bushel. However,' during the years 1926, 1927 and 1928, which just preceded the recent period of fall­ ing prices, the average- price fo r - wheat was nearly double, that of the last three years even though produc­ tion. was larger. In view of these fig­ ures, Arnold, points out, it is not pos­ sible to attribute the decline in wfiert prices to increased, production in this country. ' - The price of corn, he says,' -has de­ clined in spite pf the fact that the av­ erage production of com in the U. S. during the last three-year period fo r thirty years. I f overproduction is interpreted to mean increased produc- ' rich, itaamio&.-faa used tit mason fo r the drop in com prices. . The same is tme o f potatoes a Crop like corn which is not influenced by foreign trade or by a supply carried - over from the previous year. The av­ erage production of potatoes in the U. S. during the last three, years is low­ er. than fo r any three-year period since the war, but the' December, 1931 farm price of 43 cents was the lowest for 25 years. It also- would be difficult, Arnold says, to prove that the decline in live­ stock prices during the last two years is due to overproduction, if overpro- . duption is interpreted to mean in­ creased production. During most of the last 30 years agricultural production has not in­ creased as rapidly as population and during the laBt few years, when there was a drastic price decline, the pro­ duction has actually fallen while prop- ulation has continued to increase. Nor one familiar with ac tua l;production figures, Arnold asserts, can say that the price decline of the last two years is dne to an increased production in this country of*farm products, I t is always advisable to remember, he believes, that a supply usually is one of the most important factors in­ fluencing the price of a certain com­ modity, but it is not safe to assume that a drastic price decline is all caused by an increased supply or in­ creased production of farm products. The average farm price of all farm products in the United States in’De-. cember 1931 was 32 per cent lower than a year earlier and 48 per cent lower than the same month five.years ago, while total agricultural produc­ tion in this country has changed very little. It should, also be remembered, he says, that population is increasing each year, so the lower consumption per capita is largely offet by a larg­ er number of consumers in this coun­ try. } FOOD CLUB * 'A The Food Club mooting was held a t the School building, June 15.
