greater weight. So you see there

Anyway, the meat products

WHEAT LITTLE AFFECTED
Wheat, due to weather condi-
tions, has been little affected by
the AAA program, Secretary Wal
lace admitted.
We're perfectly aware of
weather down here" he says with
a grin. Anybody who's been
raised on farm is. But you'd
think to read some OF the big city
comment on the AAA that the city
papers had discovered weather.
mark what weather did to the
wheat problem. In 1893 we had
the shortest wheat crop in 40
years. There waS just one chance
in 40 of there being SO short a
Icrop. The next year, 1884, was
just as poor. One chance in 1900
of two such poor crops in a row.
"If 1895 should prove as bad a
drouth year as the two preceding,
the one chance in $4,000 of three
such drouth crops in a row would
be realized.
Nobody can cali 'em on chances
like that. That's why we have to
keep our program flexible.
"But with the combination Of
drouth and acreage reduction,
we've cut down the wheat carry
over from 3S7,000,O0o bushels two
years ago to 150,000,000 bushels In

we we're able to sell it abroad be-
cause we. owed money abroad, and
could pay our debts this way.
"After the World war, we were
able to keep exporting farm prod
ucts for a while because we lent
Europe the money to buy our own
products. In 1880 we stopped that.

won't import goods TO enable Eu-

Some people think it's unpatri-

pose we can build some sort Of a
monument with it--and that will
be very lovely to look at. But it
will. be the end Of even what ex-
port trade we have left. Wen be
back right where we were in 1882.
BIG PROBLEM REMAINS
"Our big fundamental problem
is still with us. America has not
yet chosen between nationalism
and international trade. though
there are evidences that right now
rationalism is growing. If that
turns out to be the decision, we
may as well prepare for still great
er federal regulation OF agricul-
ture and still greater reductions in
acreage, for that will be the only
course unless we can sell farm
products abroad.
II might add that I, personally,
have no more enthusiasm for re-
ducing crops than any other farm
err. But the farmers should not
be willing to abandon the process
ing tax until industry is willing to
abandon all its tariffs. And farm
ers should hold to their market
ing agreements and licenses UNI
til industry is willing to surrender
the equivalent--the corporate form
Of doing business.
Then everything will be all
square and we can all go back to
free untrammeled individualism."

gave any work to city people,"
Secretary Wallace, freely admit
ting the failures and the disap-
pointment of the AAA program,
believes it is principles as firmly
as ever, and cites the gains made
in the first two years of its effort
to help the farmer.
FARMERS GAIN HEAVILY
Farm prices are very material
ly higher" he points out, land that
was, after all, the primary object.
If you say that dollar devaluation
had something to do with that, ]
admit it freely, and point out in
return that the Thomas amend
ment which allowed that, as we'll
as the farm credit program, are
parts Of the same legislation as
AAA.
1.-THE main point is that farmers
received roughly $6,OOO,000 for
their 1884 crop, compared with
about $4,0O0,00O.Ooo, in 1882.
1--WE have had to do some things
which we knew would be unpopu.
lar and misunderstood. For in.
stance, the slaughter of 100000
little pigs In September, 1888.
Nobody who knows anything
about farms wants to see little 80
pound pigs slaughtered. But pigs
aren't raised for pets. The large
supplies of hogs had driven the
price down to $3.50 a hundred.
MORE PORK THAN EVER
eff those 100000 young pigs
were fed to full weight, they would
have glutted the hog market and
pushed the price down to 50 a
hundred, an absolutely starvation
price for the man who grows the
pigs.

/ 1895, and that's close to the nor
NAL figure OF 110,000,000.
CURB is RELAXED
I'VE are relaxing the wheat re-
strictions this summer, to be dead
sure that there is enough hard
wheat to feed U. S. consumers, but
we continue to pay benefits to
farmers who will promise acreage
reduction in 1886 If weather in the
meantime gets back toward nor
NAL.
'It will be necessary again then
unless tariff reduction makes it
possible to increase our imports by
that time SO the wheat can be ex-
ported"
In at least one field, the AAA
program succeeded too WELL"
1.-THE 1933-34 program in the
fue-cured tobacco belt brought
prices above the parity figure at
which we are shooting in all COM
modities. So the question imme-
diately was put to US whether it
was the governments job to In
crease acreage to bring prices
down to parity, as well as it had
been to lift them up.
"The answer is, yes. And this
we're now engaged in doing. So
you see in spring wheat, corn, and
fiue-cured tobacco. we are now ex-
panding rather than contracting
acreage.
FARM MARKET VANISHES
"But I said that under normal
weather conditions, the AAA tends
to be a reduction program. It
does, and this is why:
"The market for the products of
50,000,000 acres of our farm land
] disappeared. Before the World war

hand. The average is 5000, 900.
The price was down to and s
cents a pound, with prospects for
big crop again that summer.
COTTON GROWERS BENEFIT
$50 100000 acres Of cotton
were plowed under-and. mind you
that's the only actual standing
crop that had been plowed under.
The expected good crop did come,
but the surplus was reduced to
10h million bales that year never
theless.
I'VE have every reason to expect
that we will be back to the nor
may carryover of 100000 bales
by 1898. The price rose to 10 and
IL cents a pound. Income of the
cotton growers was doubled-from
$400, 100000 to $s00,000,000.
IF you think you have no inter-
est in cotton, and don't care about
that, ask the mail order houses
and the automobile makers where
that money went, and whether it
