FARM
. POLICY To Be
D|TCHED
Price Fixing to Be Abandoned;
States and Farmers Will
Assume More of Burden
By WILLIAM S. NEAL
(CCpyright, 1881 BY International News
SerVice)


Copyright 1881 by International New.
SerVice)
The Federal Government is pre-
pairing to inaugurate a new agri
cultural policy which will def
nitely end the costly experiment
in the fixing Of agricultural
prices.
This became apparent today as
the result Of series of actions
in which the financial chiefs OF
the Hoover Administration, here
tofore silent on all questions Of
agricultural policy. assumed an
aggressive attitude.
To Provide Credits
With some members Of the Fed.

chief operations under the $780,.
OOO,OOO agricultural marketing
act, the Administration Is turning
TO the original pledge Of the Re
publican party Ito help the farmer
help himself" BY fostering cooper.
ative marketing and providing
credits.
The States and the farmers
themselves will assume a greater
burden in the future under the
dSastic change in policy. The
national government is ready to
confess it cannot control produc-
ton.
While President Hoover has
made It plain that he believes
the Federal Farm Board has &C
con1plished much good. he is
represented as feeling the farm
erS must be prepared to carry
more of the burden in the future.
Seek Industry's Help
The Administration has been
constantly embarrassed by con-
xl1ctS between the farm beard
and the grain and cotton trade.
Some Of Mr.. Hoover's closest
friends have attacked the Govern
ment's policy. Efforts are under
way to obtain the cooperation of
private industry and farmers or
ganizations.
Although the Farm Board stu
contends that farmers must cut
their production, it has no
further plans to accomplish this.
