Many farmers are asking how the business recession will affect them. The answer to their question depends upon (1) how long the recession lasts, (2) how severe it becomes, (3) what thfe farmer ^producing, and (4) what th^, tqffiefameri't does to protec|.y,|to^rfarmer from the effects |^m|iced consumer spending fro^food and other farm products.

Some industries are depressed at any given tim^ If several industries are depressed at one time, we have a minor recession, or a "rolling readjustment." If many industries get into trouble at the same time, we have a major depression. A major depression began about eleven years after the Civil War and also . . eleven years after World War fcVThe present recession began twelve years after World War .0$ No. two depressions, however, are exactly alike. Parkhurst share the day if not the age! That winds up the gossip gleanings for this week. See you next Thursday? i. Page Nine ; Hie major depression after World War 1 was the worst in our history. It began in 1929 and lasted until the big spending for World War II began in 1941. Half of the facory workers and three-fourths of the construction workers were unemployed during much of that time. Most^major depressions are like flu epidemics--they are world-wide. The depression of the 1930's was greatly aggravated by many bank failures. Our present banking system is much more" depression resistant than that of 30 years ago. Short, minor recessions have occurred every few years. There have been two since World War II. One was in 1949-50, the other in 1954. These were largely "inventory" recessions. Stocks of merchandise became too large. Some workers were laid off but consumers kept buying, and after a few months' the workers were palled back. Few individual Workers, however, were off the payroll for more than a few weeks. The present recession is in part an inventory recession. But it may be more. Our oil wells and minds; seem to be overdeveloped, for a while at least. Many of our factories, from steel mills to auto plants, may be overbuilt. Reduced spending for new plants and equipment is a factor in all major recessions. Increased government spending for defense may help to pull us out" of this recession, as it did the recession of 1949-50. At the leasti however, it will be several months before employment and payrolls get back up to boom levels. It is not possible to accurately forecast government action at this time. National defense considerations are being given much attention. But the cdming election, in 1958 and 1960, also are receiving attention. And a divided government-- one party in control of the legislative branch and the other in control of the executive branch--does not make for the best governmental responsibility. L. H.
