Congress MeetsSoon, and Here Is Simple
Explanation of One of Seven Serious
Issues That Must Be Solved.

ernmental aid should not be extended to agr4-
culture.
According to this view, the Government owes
as much protection to the carload Of wheat as
it does to the steel rails over which the wheat
is hauled. For years the farm bloc in Congress
followed the rainbow Of q protective tariff On
agricultural products, apparently entirely OBJ
livious to the fact that while high tarin may
answer the problem Of the manufacturer who
wants to prevent foreign manufacturers from
selling in the United States, it Is entirely use
less in aiding the farmer to sell his export
surplus abroad.
All proposed solutions Of the wheat problem
get back ultimately to the question Of what
shall be done with the surplus. That surplus,
like the Old Man Of the Sea, continues to strad-
die American agriculture and apparently viii
not be shaken on.
DVOCATES of the equalization fee proposed
~ in the original McNary- Haugen bill, which
was vetoed by President Coolidge, wanted to
set up an agency to take over the surplus and
market it abroad for whatever price it would
bring and assess the losses, any, back on
the individual farmer who would be expected
to make those losses up out Of the presumably
higher price he would receive for what he sold
in the domestic market. The basic idea was
that If the surplus could be moved out OF the
country, domestic prices would rise.
The famous export debenture idea, which
was dropped for the time being at the behest
of President Hoover has been described as -e-
versing the protective tariff for the benefit Of
agricultural interests.
An agricultural cooperative shipping wheat
abroad would have been given debentures or
certificates equal to one-hah the amount of
duty which would have been assessed against
that shipment If it were being imported instead
of exported These certificates would then be
sold to importers, who could use them to pay
customs duties. Here again the fundamental
desire was to get the surplus out of the country.
Advocates Of both the equalization fee and
the export debenture systems have served no.
tice they will revive their proposals during the
Winter session of Congress.
The Federal Farm Board. staggering along
under its burden Of sterilization wheat and
with its $500 900, 900 revolving fund almost ex-
hal,sted has advocated more direct remedy
namely to abolish the surplus by restricting
acreage.
CUPERFTCIALLY, that seems to be . very
= direct and effective solution, but it coll
lides with the ancient difficulty Of determining
who Is going to bell the cat. Farmer John
Smith would be delighted to have wheat acre
are restricted so long as it is done on Farmer
linn Browns farm. Jim feels the same way,
with reverse English.
While the various schools Of thought have
been wrangling over the issue in the United
States there have been additional difnculties
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-11-22

interposed from abroad. Other nations with
agricultural problems Of their own are not m
clined to act as dumping grounds for the Amer
lean wheat surplus.
some have enacted tariff laws as stringent
as those of the United States. Others have
imposed regulations requiring their mills to use
their own wheat. In Germany the mills must
use 81 per cent Of German wheat; 1t Is 80 per
cent in Italy and IS per cent in France and
Sweden.
Suggestions for stimulating wheat consump-
ton in the United States have been made by
the thousands, but none of them is taken serl-
ously save as possible help for the present
emergency.
Using wheat as fuel or paving material may
help to the extent Of disposing OF some OF the
present surplus but such uses are so obviously
uneconomic that they are not regarded as nav
ing any permanent value. Many farmers have
resorted to the expedient of feeding wheat TO
hogs. Agricultural experts, however, point out
that this is feasible only during an era OF ex-
tremely cheap wheat
IN other words, it is good idea this year when
] the Nation has an unmanageable surplus
on its hands and the wheat must be disposed
of some way or another, but it cannot be relied
upon in future years unless there are similar
SURPRISES which every one wants to avoid.
Official statistics do not bear out the wide.
spread impression that the American womanS
determination to abolish hips is responsible for
q large part Of the wheat surplus From 1870
to 1929 there was an annual decline of only
one-fifth Of bushel in the per capita con-
sumption of wheat as -four. Figures since 1929
have not been completely tabulated, but It Is
indicated that consumption has risen slightly.
At all events, the effect Of feminine diet fadS
upon wheat consumption is regarded as entirely
academic. The assumption is that If the Amer
lean woman decides she wants to reduce her
curves, she will not be deferred by anything 50
insignificant as an agricultural crisis
The question of prohibition also complicateS
the problem slightly In 1918 President Hoover
then food Observation-Disclosures that the
breweries used about 100000 bushels of grain
a month. That demand, Of course, has van
ished, but how much the manufacture Of soft
drinks and home brew" makes up for 1t has
not been determined.

Loqca, Popcorn State

IoWANs who are wont to sing Justify that they
] come from the State where the tall corn
grows might well paraphrase their song to say
"out where the popcorn grows" for Iowa leads
by far in the production of this type of corn.
Popcorn Is not a general crop, however, for the
demand is necessarily limited AS a usual
thing it is grown directly on contract, for it
would be a risky venture for a farmer to plant
popcorn without knowing where he could find
o market for it.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-11-22

foodstuffs increased many thousands Of acres
which might be termed marginal LANDS were
put under cultivation. BY that is meant that
with the high prices then prevailing it was
profitable to raise wheat under conditions
which are not commercially feasible in normal
times. Some Of these marginal acres have been
abandoned since the war, but many OF them
are still under cultivation.
Simultaneous with the expansion OF acreage
and to q certain extent contributing to that
DEVELOPMENT has been the increasing use and
the increasing efficiency OF agricultural ma
chinery This has made it possible for the In
dividual farmer to operate a larger farm and
handle larger crops with far less labor tnan ne
formerly employed.
Another factor was the increased application
of scientific methods, proper care OF the soil,
elimination of pests and similar AIDS 70 agrl-
culture for which the Federal Government
even in this time of overproduction still spends
millions Of dollars year.
While the better machinery made it possible
for the farmer to harvest more acres, scientific
farming made it possible for him to obtain
a greater yield per acre.
THE net result was that as soon as the alb
normal war demand had evaporated the
American wheat farmer began 70 pile up annual
SURPRISES which had to be disposed Of abroad
If they were not to depress domestic wheat
prices.
Meanwhile in foreign countries the fields
which had been neglected during the war were
being cultivated again, and the same improved
machinery and better methods that had been
found so effective in the United States were
being used there.
Selling American wheat abroad during the
past few years has become about as profitable
as carrying Goals to Newcastle, but the United
States has continued, nevertheless to produce
about 200 900 900 bushels more than can be
consumed by the domestic market.
The depression, according to this version,
has not impaired the market for wheat if
anything, it has resulted in slightly increased
demand. This is based on the theory that in
times Of financial stringency staple foods tend
to replace delcaces on the Nations tables.
The traditional crust of bread is the last thing
to go. and in the United States bread means
wheat
That Is one view Of the situation, and
plausible one leading directly to the second
conclusion that the American wheat farmer
is going to be in trouble so long as he produces
more wheat than the market can absorb
However, it is a view that Is not accepted
by the farmer himself nor by his representa-
tiveS in Congress.
THEY argue that agriculture is the most basic
of basic industries and that the Govern
ment owes it protection and assistance. Going
further, they point out that the Government
for decades has granted tariff subsidies to the
manufacturing industries and say there Is no
logical reason why an equal amount Of gov
