From Harry Truman speech at the Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis, October 30, 1948:

"In 1932 the farmers in this great Nation were being foreclosed and were going broke at a terrific rate. I think in 1932, 123,000 farmers were evicted from their farms. The net farm income that year was $2.5 billion. The total income was $4.5 billion.

"In 1947 the gross income of the farmers was $30 billion and the net income was $18 billion. In 1947 there were less than 800 farm foreclosures. The Democratic Party is responsible for that result, and nothing else!"
