By the Associuted Press. As soon as some pressing tasks have been cisposed of. the Federal Farm Board intends to inquire carefully into the whole problem of land utilization, condemnation and reforestation. This field of study is regarded by the board as holding an important key i to the solution of agriculture’s difficul. ties, but just what will result from its | inquiry can hardly be forecast e The board realizes that, despite dili- gent study already given by experts. the questions involved are still unset- tled. A great many of the scientists { of the Department of Agriculture, upon whose knowledge the d is expected ‘XU lean, believe, however, that the prob- | | lem will resolve itself into a plan for | s d growing of certain crops on the soils best suited to them and the setting aside of the poorer creage for the more easily adaplable branches of farming and horticulture, Will Require Years. Almost any program the board might adopt. If it Teaches any decision ai &, will require many years to put into | effect. | The angle of the problem most sus- | ceptible to controversy is held to be that of justice to farmers whose lands would | be ‘selected for new and sometimes ap- parently less profitable crops. This oposition alone is regarded as mek- g it certain that a final solution will take some time, since education is be- lieved to be the best way of approach- ing it Reclamation and irrigation projects | are likely to be affected vitally by the board’s study. Many responsible offi- cials of the Agriculture Department are ready to recommend cessation of all further undertakings of this kind. Whether the board would be willing to go this far is questionable, but some ia general situation is considered likely. Reforestation Important. One important phase of the study will concern_itself with reforestation. At present, Government figures show a all decline in the use of wood prod- icts, but two or three years ago the United States was using wood at a rate which was threatening the forests. Many students of the farm problem have advocated turning the less de- able land into new forests and Con- gress specifically charged the Farm Board with the job of inquiring into this subject. Of perhaps & more popular nature, however, will be the board’s study of the effects of scientific production methods, machinery and crop and ani. mal hygiene on production. The highly technical study of birth and death rates to determine the problematical trend of population during the next half century also will engage the board in an effort to make consumption estimates.
