for those handling agricultural COM
modities. The act Is predicated on
the belief that production, without
plan, brought the world to the sad
state Of 1882, the farmer having ar
rived there q decade earlier, and It
prescribes for the removal Of surplus
eS.
In the campaign to increase the
farmers share Of the national income
by production control there are three
requisites. First OF all, the farmer
must come in by his own free will, the
program must be voluntarily accepted.
Secondly, the farmer who cooperat.s
must be protected from the individual
who will not, and last, but equally i'm
portant, the consumer must be pro-
tected from pyramided prices. Ways
have been devised Of supplying these
elements.
Tangible advantages in the form OF
benefit payments are given those who
sign the contracts, and safeguards
are set up against the two danger
points. Another feature Of the act Is
that 1t provides insurance against loss
Of crop-income and a bad season need
not spell misery for the farm family.
The AAA principle is that the benefits
given the farmer are not given him
as one Of privileged group. They
are so planned that he is to receive
ultimately only his fair share Of the
national income, which will in turn
react favorably on other groups Of
workers. The benefit payments are
compared to the tariffs which have
been I bulwatk for manufacturers.
The longtime goal Is 4 balanced az
riculture-balanced within itself and
In relation to other economic factors.
In order to carry out the plan the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton was set up in the Department Of
Agriculture and its Administrator
was made directly responsible to the
Secretary. Existing departmental
services were used a. far as possible
and the organization was built around

HE AGRICULTURAL ADJUST
ADMINISTRATION

Washington, Oct. 16.-As the farm
er's family physician with informa.
ton Of world and local conditions 81
his command, the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration prescribe.
for and treats the economic ills that
plague the patient. Congress, in May
1888, authorized the Secretary of Az
riculture to undertake fundamental
plans for improving the position OF
basic commodities 50 that the farmer
might benefit by modern marketing
methods-in . word, to raise farm
prices.
This legislation was called the Ag-
ricultural Adjustment Act, and, as its
name implies, 1t was not intended to
be rigid program, but one to be
adjusted from time to time as condi-
tions demand. Like other scientific
projects 1t Is conducted on an ex-
perimental basis, and Secretary WAL
lace called it an effort In the direction
Of social inventiveness. It Is assum-
ed that the methods used will vary
from year to year as world conditions
vary. At first 1t was necessary to
devise machinery for restricting pro-
duction. but It Is possible that ct some
future time expansion may be In order,
for the key Is control Of production,
not the direction In which It Is to be
regulated.
It is the AAA's Job to do for the in
dividual, for the small farmer who Is
engrossed In the labor OF getting crops
out Of his own farm, what he cannot
do for himself, namely, make It pos
sible for his produce to have . profit
able place In the world market.
Marketing Is no longer done In terms
Of the neighborhood, or even Of the
nation, but must be understood in
terms OF the world. The man who
Is brambling and blowing and cutting
and threshing cannot discover for
himself whether the world needs the
fruit Of his labor, nor can he find Z
place for 1t. BY himself he cannot
obtain and evaluate Ill the thousand
and one complexities that 20 into the
economies Of marketing and distribu-
ton.
It has been said that the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act supplies Z con-
stitution for the farmer which pro-
vides equality In the economic field.
It will be noted that It stipulates
that he shall have equality, not priv
ilege.
Introduces Production Control
With what prescription and what
treatment did this act undertake to
cure the economic Ills Of agriculture?
Because It was seen that the world
suffered violently from surfeit, the
Secretary Of Agriculture WAS empow-
cred to use production control.
Through the AAA he has set about
making production meet market de-
mands by Offering the farmer who Co
operates benefit payments, and by
marketing agreements and licenses
