Hl'TCHlNSON. Juno 23. I'rvsl-
ilent Harding broiiKlit to the agricul-
tural Middle West today a message of
optltnfs-n with a prediction that the
worst of the lost-war depression had
passed and that gradual improve-
ment could be reasonably expected.
In an address devoted to discus-
sion of the agricultural situation the
Chief Executive reviewed the ineas
ures taken by the government to aid
the farmers placing at the forefront
tile farm credit legislation enacted by
the last Congross. This legislation
when carried out he declared "will
be capable of furnishing the Amerl-
yCan farmers for the first time in tlid
history of agriculture in any country
adequate investment and working cap
Ital on terms as favorable as thoe
accorded to commerce nnd Industry."
Furthermore he said. It will tend to
restore fair prices for farm products
and aid the farmer in lifting debts
incurred during the period of depression.
"I confess n frank pride in the gov-
ernment's part In bettering a situa-
tion ngnlnst which yon Justly com-
plained and which all the people of
the nation deplored" the President
governmental agencies and with
them the cooperation of the fine for-
ces of leadership which the great
national farm organizations have dev-
eloped made It possible to secure a
measure of helpful results In this de-
partment of our endeavors which has
been especially gratifying. Moreover
it has found prompt reflection in the
improved status of every agricultural
concern. We have been officially In-
formed that owing to Improved con
ditions the farm products of the coun-
try for 1022 were worth $2000000.-
000 more than they were In 1921.
Clearly we are through the worst of
the depression and can reasonably ex
pect gradual Improvement.
"The balance within the. Industry
as between livestock and grain pro
duction has been restored.Whllo the
war lasted there was no possibility of
overproduction of such staples as
wheat and cotton for example; and
when peace suddenly burst upon the
world the farmer had plans for a
long future which he could not read-
Just Instantly. No human wisdom
could possibly have foretold the
cojrse that would be taken by sup-
plies and demand: and It Is as futile
as It Is obvious to us now to say that
wisdom would have dictated at least
a less precipitate policy In removing
the war-time restrictions and guld
ance In dealing with some aspects of
