Food prices to stay high in 1920 says agriculture officials
Department of Labor bulletins show little drop in food prices nationwide with a upward tendency in many items. Officials say reductions occur only in some areas and that a real drop is unlikely this year. Shortage of acreage and farm labor since World War I explains higher costs, not farmer strikes. Exports fell 50 percent in April but cannot compensate for reduced crops. Back-to-the-farm movement lacks practical support from Congress as plans to ease land transfer and loans fail to help small asset owners.
