Washington, DBD, C. Deg 5. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace reports farmers will harvest larger crops this year than in most of the past decade. But buying power declined as farm prices dropped below pre war levels while general commodity prices stayed well above 1914 prices.

He notes no world overproduction, yet farmers produced too much to keep prices high.
