DESCRIBES FARM a
ADJUSTMENT PLAN
Agricultural College Presi-
dent Says Federal Program
Seeks to Adjust Output !
with Reduced Exports

The Federal farm adjustment pro-
gram is partly guided by the BELIEF
that export of agricultural commodi-
ties will not soon recover its volume
of five or ten years ago, in the opin-
ion of F. D. Farrell, President Kan
sas Agricultural College, writing in
the August issue of the American
Bankers Association Journal.
Nobody knows whether the farm
adjustment program will succeed"
writes Mr.. Farrell. "Its sponsors de-
scribe it frankly as an experiment.
1t seeks to socialiZe agriculture at
least to the extent that farmers. in
what is believed to be the public in
terest, will restrain their production
activities and that professors, dis
tributors and consumers will con-
tribute something toward paying,
farmers for exercising this restraint.
The adjustment programs definitely
are based on the fact that prices are
determined primarily by supply and
demand. They also are based on the
assumption that the export business
in agricultural commodities will not
soon return to its volume of five or
ten years ago.
Dependence on Public Support
"The plan offers wheat price in
surance for 1888, 1884 and 1885, for
the domestically consumed portion
of the wheat crop. The insured price
is to be sufficiently high to give the
domestically consumed portion OF
the wheat crop pre-war purchasing!
power. If the plan is as effective as
it's sponsors hope it will be, the re-
duction in supply may influence
wheat prices so that the entire,
wheat crop will have pre-war pur-
chasing power.
"If the adjustment program sue
ceeds, it's launching probably will
mark the end of an era Of extreme
individualism in agriculture in the
United States" says Mr.. Farrell.
Recent fundamental changes led
Secretary Wallace to say, What we
really have to do is to change the
whole psychology of the people OF
the United States This is large
order. 1t involves the whole program
of farm adjustment as well as the
larger national economic program,
of which farm adjustment is part.
If the people decline to participate
in the program to the extent neces-
sary to give the experiment a fair
trial, we shall never know whether
farm adjustment as now proposed
would have succeeded or not II 1t
had been given a fair trial."
