HYDE IS
OPPOSED
TO PLAN
Purchase OF New Wheat
Would Dam Up Flood
OF Grain.
ADVISES REDUCTION
Declares Farmers Must
Raise Less And BE Bet
ter Organized.
By CECIL OWEN

WASHINGTON, July II. W.n)-
Purchase of new wheat by the fed
cral farm board as urged by west
crn senators would merely dam up
the flood of grain without perman,
cnt benefit, Secretary of Agricul-
ture Hyde told the United Press in
an interview today.
He doubted whether such action
would be within the law. Hyde al
so said the debcnture and equaliza
tion fec plans which some farm
senators now want to revive, would
not remedy the situation. Neither
would an "eat more bread" cam.
paign, help much, he said.
In fact Hyde, after Il trip
through the wheat belt, saw 10 re.
lief except for farmers to raise less
wheat, and TO organize more intens-
lively for better marketing.
Hyde said he knew of nothing
the farm board could do to help
the farmers that it was not already
doing.
"To buy more wheat now might
temporarily raise prices" Hyde
said, "but the knowledge that the
board was holding those millions of
bushels would have n permanent de
pressing effect on the market.
"There is some question also
whether sterilization operation
now would be strictly within the
law AS the board was forbidden by
congress to do anything that might
lead to increased production or
that was not reasonable opera
tion with prospects of permanent
benefit to agriculture"
Hyde said the dcbenturc of the
equalization fee, which would en-
courage export of United States
wheat. would be useless because
foreign nations now have anti
dumping statutes TO prevent the
wholesale disposal of American
farm products there.
even if we gran, that the de-
benturc might have done some
good" said Hyde, ait would Ger.
iainly be of no avail when for.
eign tariff laws have been dcvcl-
oped to prevent the sale of Amer.
lean surplus in wholesale quantities
such as would dcprcss prices
abroad"
Consumption of staple food pro.
duets might bc increased somewhat,
Hyde said, but he declared the
prospects of increasing consumption
sufficiently 10 absorb farm sur.
pluscs were very slim.
