Why the Farmer Starves

On October 10, the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis issued an exhaustive booklet on "The Economic Position of Agriculture in the Northwestern Grain Raising Areas." It was presented to the annual conference of Federal Reserve agents with the U.S. Federal Reserve Board at Washington. This is not unusual; but the significant thing about the report was that the facts shown therein were so serious and far-reaching that it was issued as "confidential not for publication." On November 28, about a month later, another report was issued from the same source on "The Problems of the Northwest Farmers," being in the main a reprint of some of the facts shown in the earlier report.
