Buying power of farm products shows increase
The farm purchasing power index rose from 127 in May to 187 in August, with the overall wholesale price index climbing from 145 to 149.7. August figures show improved farm purchasing power, aided by grain price gains, though the rise slowed after mid August as poultry and dairy prices rose. The 1922 annual average sits at 74, 1921 at 69.
