FARMER GEK NORE ROUSE FOR CROP DOLLAR TODAY The money a farmer received for a bushel of wheat this spring bought him from 60 to 70 percent more 'cuildlng materials than the monev he received for the same amount of wheat In the depression year of :992 At the same time by piitting tliese materials Into a new house he could get more home for hts money than ever before in history. These facts were brought out to¬ day by local building groups in thei. campaign to get the facts on hom^ Lullding cost.s before the citizens of Nazareth and community The latest flgures compiled from commodity price records of the gov¬ ernment showed the extent to whic.i the farmer could purcha.se bui'.dln.; materials as contrasted with the situation during the depression The southern cotton farmer was ilso in a better position .should he '."lsh to build a home or modernizs his present one. according to the study. This year, as compared wit'.i 1932. he could buy thirteen perc?nt more In the way of lumber and .shingles with the money he re¬ teived for a bale of cotton. The hog rai.ser seems to be In the best position of the entire farming (roup, for the amount he rccelvevl for 100 pounds of hog enables him ;o buy seventy-four percent mor? callding materials than he could lave bought with what he took in fom the .same amount of ho? pro c'ucts in the year 1932. Speciflcally tlie study points oi' ;hat a bu.shel of wheat now buys 70 percent more lumber than in 1932 -ind lumber is the most important material in building a house, con- nituting a third of the dollar spent for building products. The sam? bushel of w'.ie.Tt could buy 75 bricks this spring as compared with 46 bricks In 1932. and this product con. stitute.s .ibout .sixteen percent of Mie materials used in the typical ag¬ gregate of hoiises built. The study Indicates, moreover, that In addition to buying a greater amount of materials, ilie farmer re¬ ceives far greater value In a home than he would hive gotten »fx years ago. Practically every bit of house F\^^ce in the modern home Is util¬ ized for living and every detail <s planned as never before, where.is old tvpes of design embodied mucli w.iste space which ran cost.s UD The modern kitchen, for Instance.

FARMER GEK NORE ROUSE FOR CROP DOLLAR TODAY
The money a farmer received for a bushel of wheat this spring bought him from 60 to 70 percent more 'cuildlng materials than the monev he received for the same amount of wheat In the depression year of :992
At the same time by piitting tliese materials Into a new house he could get more home for hts money than ever before in history.
These facts were brought out to¬ day by local building groups in thei. campaign to get the facts on hom^ Lullding cost.s before the citizens of Nazareth and community
The latest flgures compiled from commodity price records of the gov¬ ernment showed the extent to whic.i the farmer could purcha.se bui'.dln.; materials as contrasted with the situation during the depression
The southern cotton farmer was ilso in a better position .should he '."lsh to build a home or modernizs his present one. according to the study. This year, as compared wit'.i 1932. he could buy thirteen perc?nt more In the way of lumber and .shingles with the money he re¬ teived for a bale of cotton.
The hog rai.ser seems to be In the best position of the entire farming (roup, for the amount he rccelvevl for 100 pounds of hog enables him ;o buy seventy-four percent mor? callding materials than he could lave bought with what he took in fom the .same amount of ho? pro c'ucts in the year 1932.
Speciflcally tlie study points oi' ;hat a bu.shel of wheat now buys 70 percent more lumber than in 1932 -ind lumber is the most important material in building a house, con- nituting a third of the dollar spent for building products. The sam? bushel of w'.ie.Tt could buy 75 bricks this spring as compared with 46 bricks In 1932. and this product con. stitute.s .ibout .sixteen percent of Mie materials used in the typical ag¬ gregate of hoiises built.
The study Indicates, moreover, that In addition to buying a greater amount of materials, ilie farmer re¬ ceives far greater value In a home than he would hive gotten »fx years ago. Practically every bit of house F\^^ce in the modern home Is util¬ ized for living and every detail |
