TH¥ EVENIN FEDERAL FARM AD BASED N CROP CUT Government Wants Guaran- tee Before Consenting to Further Experiments. BY DAVID LAWRENCE, Out of the West has come the farm problem in a new and perplexing form | —a demand for further Government | co-operation, which has been answered | by the Government with a demand for | more farmer co-operation. The criticism, which has been made of the Federal farm act, McNary-Hau- | genism and the export debenture plan has had one common denominator— | namely, that any scheme for boosting the price of farm products, simply would lead to more planting and con- | tinued overproduction. The Farm Board, through its chair- man, has endeavored to preach curtail- ment of acreage—an unpopular doc- | trine, but one nevertheless that is re- | spected in a period of falling prices. | Coincident with these preachments have come suggestions that the Government itself begin to purchase the surplus crop and hold it over a year or send it | to China. | As long as there is a possibility of the | Government finding a customer for a| large part or the surplus, officials here | feel that efforts to persuade the farmer to curtail future production wil be fu- tile. | New Viewpoint Forecast. | ‘While reports from the West are that | the farmers did not take kindly to sug- gestions of reduced acreage, it is believ- | ed that when the co-operatives really | understand that Government funds are | to be withheld mext year if the warn- | ings are disregarded, there will be a different point of view in the agricul- tural ‘States, and some progress toward limiting the size of next year's crop will | then be made. Industry has learned the importance of adjusting supply to demand and just now the whole industrial scheme is suf- fering from a loss of equilibrium or bal- | ance between consumption and produc- | tion, but the process of adjustment is | going on without Government aid or | even exportation, because organized busi- | ness has learned the lesson. | ‘What the Government now is trying to do is to impress on the farmers, through their organizations, that il agriculture is to be on an equality with industry, it will have to learn to con- trol production in order to get a stabilized price. No matter what scheme of farm relief. is proposed in the next Congress as an alternative to the pres- | ent plan, some guarantee of controlled | production will be sought before the administration = will. ever consent to | further experiment in government aid. | The crux of the present situation, however, is politics. The Western Sen- ators up for re-election must be ad- vocating something besides laws of economics—they must be pleading for proposals designed to lift up the prices of farm products immediately. Every- body knows that Congress will not meet again till December, hence the pressure | to have the administration, through the Farm Board, spend another hundred million dollars to stabilize the wheat market. But the administration is just as de- termined that the farmers shall opgan- ize their co-operative effort to keep | production frcm rising so high as to| cause an even further glut and drop in values. In other works, the $100,- 000,000 might be effective for a few weeks, but when the stimulus had been exhausted prices would be depressed once more on account of the growing sl lus. g) that battle of words and theories has resolved itself into.a.definite appeal for more farmer co-operation before even the present machinery of the Farm Board will function as.a stabili- zer of farm prices. Nor is this unex- pected, for the chairman of the Farm Board, Alexander Legge, warned the farm co-operatives a year ago that Gov- ernment funds were extended only on the condition that production would this year be reduced.
