CONTINUING THE PIONEER AND THE PHILIP WEEKLY REVIEW
PROSPECTS FOR AGRI
CULTURE IN 1923
Twelve months ago most of the
six million farmers of the Unitad
States were starting on th:? long
hard climb out of the valley of
economic depression. They have
not yet attained the heights which
are bathed in the grateful sun
shine of prosperity. Some, indeed,
have fallen by the way. Others
are still in the valley Nevertheless
as we stop a bit and look backward
we can see that very considerable
ground has been gained by the gre.i$
majority, and we can enter the
New Year with renewed hope and
with that courage which comes
from the realization that we are
really making progress.

the prospects for farming in 1922.

The peril in the agricultural
