MILK, MEAT OUTPUT
Lowered BY ACT

Shifting production from wheat
and corr to pasture and cover
crops, expected to take place on
millions Of acres under the adjust
ment programs of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, would
tend to lower total production Of
milk and meats. according to De
patti 1T OF Agriculture special
lists.
Fears that possible marked in

would result in adding to existing
SURPRISES OF dairy and livestock
products are said to be ~groundIess.
Pasture crops, even If utilized full
~ without restrictions, produce far
less livestock feed per acre than
harvested grain crops.
Records from various parts OF
the country show ~conclusively that
land in harvested grain and forage
crops produces at least twice as
much livestock feed as the same
land in pasture says livestock
specialists of the Il. S. Department
OF Agriculture.
Since 1890, farmers have re-

about 10 per cent and increased
the acreage of harvested crops
about SO per cent. This increase

the land to grass will decrease

feed
Commenting on the suggestion
that dairy farmers could produce
fewer gallons of milk and still
make more money, by producing
at a lower cost and reducing the
quantity OF milk going to already
overloaded markets, the Federal
Bureau Of Dairy Industry recently
issued a statement which pointed
out the advantages Of shifting land

advised Commissioner of Agricul-

"Of course we cannot as yet say
what the price will be, because a

said Miss Cushman. But If things

president Roosevelt has shown

Mr.. Clague expressed disappointment
over the fact that some of his former
colleagues in congress have attempted
to block the presidents program, or
parts of it, and said that since he re-
ceived such a large majority at the
fall election, he should be allowed to
put his program in force.
The banking situation, Mr.. Clague
believes, has been greatly improved
and much confidence has been re-
stored, bringing money out of hiding
where it was not helping either the
owner or the nation.
Farm conditions, according to Mr..
Clague, are a more difficult pro-
blem than was the bank situation be-
cause while there are only few thou
sand banks, there are millions of
farmers in many localities and facing
entirely different troubles. He des-
cribed the Roosevelt farm bill as
experiment but a step well worth
taking since it may work to great
