By the Assoclated Press. Cutting through the maze of political and economic .theories of farm relief, Secretary Hyde's sunual report for the Department of Agriculture went to the President today with a full statement of policy on controversial issues. . Probably the most outstanding point, because of its bearing on the export de- benture—now the chief concern of farm legislation—was the Secretary’s criti- cism of “subsidies.” He did not mention the deberiture by name, but opponents of the plaa charge it is a subsidy and poin to Hyde's declaration that subsidies would in- crease rather than restrain production. Dumping Was Feared. While denied by the debenture's {riends, the accusation has made that it would result in the dumping of American products abroad and create foreign retaliation. Hyde sald the dumping of surpluses abroad was not feasible and recited world resistance to low-priced Russian wheat. Touching close to the farm board’s retirement of 110,000,000 bushels of wheat from the market, Hyde said— definite storing of surpluses tends to! prevent ratfer than to cause a rise of prices. Artificial Market Fails. “By this time,” he said, “it is evident that supply-and-demand conditions can- not be set aside by legislation, that the dumping of surpluses abroad is not feasible, that the indefinite !wrlna of surpluses tends to prevent rather to cause a rise of prices, that tariff duties are not effective on commodities produced largely for export, and that subsidies would increase rather than restrain production. volunfi curtail- ment of production is the only logical remedy for the surplus problem.” The Secretary also pointed to cotton market developments as continuing to emphasize the importance of adjusting production to requirements. There has been a shift away from American cot- ton in the past two years, he said. “Farmers, of course,” Hyde wrote, “must deal mainly with the supply phase of the problem in one way or an- other, There are two main alterna- tives. They can let matters drift unti production is reduced by the ruin of thousands and their elimination from the farming industry, or they can con- sciously direct the readjustment process to lessen its difficulty and hasten its end. Balanced Crops Urged. “The answer to overproduction is less production. Crops must be balanced as nearly as possible with market demands and offered only in such quantities gs can be sold at prices covering the fy ers’ cost of production plus a profit. “Technical progress has K:reued las years, e efit largely to the consumers.” Hyde recommended a flexiblé policy of wheat acreage reduction. Primarily, ‘high cost marginal land in which the cost of production is great and which shows no profit unless are cor- rupondgn"lly high. < ““Whole-hearted jon in concerted effort to gmflnmx wheat in- dustry more nearly in line with - its mud-fit Ivould ; dt."!'xduexk many useful modifications of the e: - T wo dovel m'-‘“m"“ o “It would develop f and other sidelines mog high-cost acres from If by leaving acres fallow a better It can be obtained, that in itself is good farm economy.” Predicts Lower Incomes. Lower farm incomes from the pro- duction of 1930 as compared with the previous year were predicted by the cabinet officer, He .estimated the ag- gregate gross income from 1930 crops at about $9,950,000,000, or about 16 per cent less than in®1929. He attributed the current slump in Everyone Is Going to Be Happier This Christmas Let’s say that last year you gave your sister a pair of Silk Hose, and that you paid $1.65 for them. This year you can give her a pair of $1.95 Silk Hose and still pay only $1.65 for them! Prices are so much lower, you see! And if you watch the advertising in The Star there may be a day when these same hose are offered at, say, $1.39 a pair! That’s the way it will be with all sorts of gifts. They’re all lower priced this year, so you can give better qualities and greater happiness to everyone on your list. That will make you happier! than it did last year! BUY NOW-—-MAIL eliminate, many wheat ] agricultural prices to continued over- production and “the world-wide busi- ness depression,” resulting in lessened demand. The latter, he said, s:rved to offset a sul al production in some lines caused by the drought of the last Summer. Only in a few cases was the drop in production partly compensated by price raises. An in farm taxes to aboul WOMEN PRAISED Tal crease in $1.50 per $100 of the full value of agri- cultural real estate, as compared with $1.46 in 1929, was reported. Against this Hyde set a -continued downward trend in farm land values, taking the| country as a whole. The drop was| about 1 per cent of the land’s pre-war value. : Farm credit conditions were reported unfavorable, due to lowered commodity prices interfering with the liquidation of loans and reducing the supply of new credit at country banks. | ning to the tariff, the Secretary| sald the Smoot-Hawley Jaw had added $48 loyde‘nr to ghe{ cost- pguralen;t‘{l;g\ commodities -the farmer buys | to his income, leaving & net balance of | into action, winning the praise of Her- $102 per farm in favor of the {armer. | man N.
