Agricultural prospects brighter for 1923 says Wallace
Secretary Wallace told the Chicago Association of Credit Men that 1923 will see farmers earning between one and two billion dollars more for crops than last year due to better prices and rising demand. He cited cotton gains, improved livestock prices, and diversified corn belt farming, while noting wheat regions lag due to weather and freight costs. He warned national prosperity hinges on agricultural prosperity and a one third population depends on farming.
