TOART H BULL _ — — EDITOR and PUBLISHER THURMAN MILLER, Jr. — — CO-PUBLISHER — MANAGES a&!F Entered as second class matter, October 31, 1887, at the Postoffice at Ce- darville, Ohio, under the Act of March 1879. FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1947 WHERE ARE THE FARM BUYERS NOW? As we close the old year end we face problems for 1947 that should be of utmost importance to agricultural interests. We re­ call the campaign following World War One to ‘reduce the cost of living,’ There was no plan then for a reduction in wages. Pressure groups Had their way %pd soon all farm prices began to toboggan. With ji few rises and drops the general tendency was lower and lower until agriculture could find no profit. All this lead up to the financial crash of 1929., Within a year farmers had spent what surplus cash they had on hand and with no profit on crops or from livestock there was no demand for farm machinery or farm household goods. As the days passed manufacturers of farm equipment laid off employees and firms that provided raw materials began to re-1 duce their number of employees. All this began to have a bear­ ing on all other merchandise and we headed into what was term­ ed a ‘depression.* History is again going to be re-enacted. We have it on good authority the Truman administration has planned a deliberate attempt to force down farm prices to lower the cost of living in the hope lower prices would check organized labor strikes. Not long ago President Green of the Ohio State Farm Bureau issued a depressing statement about lower farm prices. Secre­ tary Anderson has taken the same, view. Now we see labor leaders taking up the cry, ail at the expense of agriculture. Just a few days ago Sec. Anderson was demanding federal ac­ tion against the dairy interests. Hogs are dropping in price while organized labor threatens more strikes for higher wages. Suits amounting to billions are being filed in federal courts a- gainst industry, which if sustained will close seventy five per­ cent of our factories and put them in bankruptcy. Farm prices the past year have been on par with other costs, especially farm machinery, when it can be found. For more than 10 years farmers were denied what was due them by the New Deal ‘party’ prices,which were established to please labor, not | the farmer. With higher farm prices came higher prices for farm land and all of a sudden the administration and labor unions began to fear for the future of our economy. The cry went out to break the present average acre price of land. Not so long ago an unusual thing happened in this county — a well equipped farm was sold for less than the appraisement. The bidding was limited to relatives we understand. Today the realtors are having a hard time to find buyers and just as hard time to find good farms for sale. We are told that land that would have sold six months ago for more than $200 an acre now has no buyers at $150 an acre. Realters say farm land prices have dropped from $25 to, $50 an acre in recent weeks with few buyers in sight. The buyer has been frightened by such reports as issued by President Green. He does not want to invest as long as the administration and labor organizations are clamoring for lower priced farm products. The New Dealers through the prgss and over the air are urging a return of government crop control and the bogus parity prices. It is hard to believe the great majority of farmers would want to trade $24 hogs for the parity of $12 which pre­ vailed for more than ten years while everything the farmer had to buy was sky high in price due to great advanced labor wages. Now is the time for the farmer to let Congress know how you feel. By all means make your protests to farm organization [ leaders that are lending aid to the lower cost of living cam-| paign while labor goes on strike for higher wages. s h e - .

Li­ quor and cigarets are laid as the bas­ is of most all hotel fixes. Columbus, Ga., reported a had fire last week. We happen to' know something about that hotel as.we spent a night there on the second floor, while enroute home from Florida. Georgia is and was dry legally but we had no soon­ er reached the sidewalk until a run­ ner for a speakeasy near the hotel • FOE SALE • FOR SALE—Day bed in good con­ dition. Phone 4-3952. 5-lc A short time ago we asked for a room in the leading hotel in Cincin­ nati Two salesmen ahead of us wan­ ted rooms but nothing higher than the fourth floor. The clerk said noth­ ing doing, the lowest will be the fifth floor or the twen ty seventh. They took the fifth. We took the higher room. What difference does it make if you have to lamp from a window to escape fire. The pavement is just as hard from the twenty seventh as the fifth floor. In fact it takes long­ er for a fire to reach the upper floors. Those on the upper floors in the La­ Salle and Winecop hotels escaped with their lives in case they did not try to jump. Fire escapes help un­ til they are crowded with escaping guests. Every hotel should have a t least two automatic sprinklers in each room. Then stop serving liquor in the rooms and bar eigaret smoking. WANTED COUPLE WANT house or apart­ ment, unfurnished, anywhere in Greene County. Best of references. Excellent care of property assured.
