AGRICULTURE'S BIG PROBLEM

During the last two years. a tre-
mendOus change has occurred in the
agricultural situation in the United
States. From food exporting ma
ton, we have become a food import
ing nation. Where we used to have
heavy surpluses of such basic CROPS
as grain, dairy products. meat, lard.
nuts and others. which could he
shipped abroad. we now suffer short
ages and must bring i'm foreign prod
ucts to fill our needs.
Various reasons are behind this.
Without arguing the merits of the
AAA. its crop restriction policy paved
the way for scarcity of crops. And
the great drought. coming ON top of
crop restriction and destruction, COM
pleted the job. Thus a substantial
part of the American consuming mar
ket was at least temporarily lost to
the American farmer. to the benefit
OF the foreign farmer.
This situation has put a big Job
up to the American farmer. More
than ever before, he must seek TO
make supply or agricultural products
meet the domestic demand. More
than ever before, he must try to
scientifically develop and stabilize /
his markets. In this work, the
Iarmer-Owned and controlled agri- |
cOOperatives will play a pre-
eminent part-they alone give the
armer a permanent. non-pOlitical
machine with which to do
he job.

WHAT THE FOOD
BUYER WANTS

The food buyer has two things in
mind when he goes to market. lie
wants the best quality he can get
And he wants the lowest possiDlc
price commensurate with that quail
ity.
Mass buying and distributing of
foods as well as clothing. drugs
and other commodities given
the consumer better quality at lower
prices.
Mass buying and selling Organiza-
tons engage food experts to 20 in
to the world markets for them. Such
buyers are authorities on vegetables.
meats, canned goods, etc. They will
contract for the entire crop of pro-
ducer' and pay the going price. Hit
ahd-mlss purchasing, whereby
store may have first-class goods one
DAY and poor quality the next. is
eliminated.
Mass buying and selling makes
possible the elimination of manv
steps in the process of bringing
goods from farm and factory To the
home. Unnecessary middleman SER
vices, which add greatly to the final
selling cost. are reduced or done
away with entirely. TRANSPORTATION
charges are also cut, due to the large
shipped.
There is no mystery to mass buy
ing and selling. 1t has proven its
"orthiness in the only possible way
by giving the American home more
md better produce for less money
It's success is attested to by the fact
nat one of the largest of the mass
'uylng and selling organizations is
made up of many thousands of indie
,endent ndividually-owned stores
nat are now able to serve their Gus
Omers better than ever before.

DEMOCRACY AND THE FARMER

In a recent address, Fred S. Sex
auer, president OF the Dairymen's s
League Cooperative Association of
New York, said: Neither Fascisin,
Nazism or dictatorship is the solu-
ton to the problem OF industry or
agriculture. II farm organizations
are TO be preserved, democracy must
be preserved. There are no indepen-
dent farm organizations in the reg
ulated society of Germany, Italy, or
Russia. Nazism, Fascism and Com
munism cannot live with farm Or
ganizations and i'm the conflict farm
organizations die violent death
where one Of these forms of govern
ment dominates. More than we
sometime realize, economic security
for the farmer is tied to individual
freedom and to democracy"
ln0ividualism has long been one
OF the salient traits of the typical 4
American farmer-an individualism
that is perfectly in tune with the
theories Of democracy, even as il is
opposed TO the theories
OF paternalistic or dictatOrial gov
einments. The best farm cOOpera-
tivcs are an example OF that tar
sighted individualism. They repre-
sent the collective ehOrt oil a large
number OF individuals, all interested
n the same problems, who have
landed together TO work for a COM
non cause through their own efforts.
money and abilities. II there are
'rOiits. they Divide them; if there are
Osses they must always absorb I
hem. And their success, as MIR.
exauer has discovered from his
tide experience, is dependent on the
maintenance Of democratic govern
lent.

BOY SCOUT COUNCIL TO
HOLD ANNUAL MEETING
IT0m ~ PageI

reports rendered by council com
mittee chairmen at the council eye
ecutive board meeting last week in-
dictate that substantial progress has
been made in scouting throughout
the area during the past year. Scout
membership has increased, IL
troops have been organized, and the
number Of volunteer leaders has
grown from a total OF 739 on Janu-
ary to 79S on December 81. Addi-
tional council service has been
made possible in the area districts
by the addition Of C. r. Andreas. Jr.,
of Salisbury, Nd, 10 the headauar-
ters stan. Mr.. Andreas and Stanley
NJ. WOodhead of Dover serve as
field executives in assisting the
scout work of local leaders in the
towns and villages Of the peninsula.
The 1885 camp season at the Rod
ley Scout Camps was one Of the
best in the camps history. An area
vide conference Of scouting leaders
leld in Dover on December 3 was
attended by over 200 men, and was
by Dr. James E. West,
.hief executive of the Boy Scouts Of I
america and resulted in closer
between the city and Z
rea scout leaders.
Gains have been noted in the sea 9
cOut program for older scouts, the a
ubbiug program for boys under a
cOut age, and in the extension Of s
,Outing to negro boys. Under the
of Council President g
harles H. Cant the influence of the N
,Out councils work has been in al
effective throughout low
Delaware and the Eastern Shore, Vi
I'd the outlook for the progress Of N

Il would pay farmers for prOduc
ing nOn-fOOd crops for industI ia
purposes i'm place of the acres
now devoted to surplus crops.
Here is a plan which has sound
economic aspects, in contrast to
the unsOund aspects of the A.A.A.
It offers much more latitude than
does the A.A.A. for the normal Op-
Grafton of economic laws. 1t per-
mits an expansion of the total
production of farmer and hence
of his total income.
Production by the most efficient
farmers would be encouraged
rather than, as at present, penal
lied. Regeneration would be UNI
necessary. New farm crops would
be encouraged in place of those of
which at present there are sur
Dluses. Soil fertility would be
conserved and improved.
Under such a program the farm
er would be paid for something
productive. Under the A.A.A. he |
is paid for something restrictive |
Or actually destructive. Under the |
McMillen plan emphasis is laid OH
building for the future-on I'M
proving soil conditions and OH de-
velOping new crops.
The use of government funds
for this last named purpose Of
fers a sound parallel TO the early
use of tariffs to encourage in
fant industries" The ordinary
analogy which many of the New
Dealers make between the pro-
cessing tax and the tariff is UNI s
sound. If. however, government {
funds are to be used to encOu' age
the development of new agricul- {
iural products for industrial puc- lt
poses the government will be ap- 1
plying the infant industries" type v
Of. protection to these "infant" 5
industries. =
In another important respect a
some such plan as this would have a
great advantage over the A.A.A. 5
The rigidity Of many Of the A.A.A. o
regulations. as well as the A.A.A. il
philosophy of raising farm prices d
lrtifically, tends to penalize the M
efficient producer for the benefit
4 the inefficient. al
AS Mr.. Stanley F. Morse of the g
armers Independence Council III
as pointed out on numerous Oc- Gu
lsiOns. the objective of sound pr
lrm policy should be t. foster it
10 low cost PRODUCTION of higher at
lality products. 1t should rccOg- 80
le tnat all farmers cannot be "a
Milford chronicle., 1936-01-24

guaranteed a profit or even a Iiv-
ing. Among the "dont's" which
Mr.. Morse has listed are:
1. Don't prevent exports of
farm products by price pegging.
2. Don't reduce domestic con-
sumption by the use of the pro-
cessing tax, price raising or other
governmental interference with
business.
3. Don't foster importation of
foreign farm products by creating
shortages. or tinkering with the
tariffs and currency.
An effective argument can, of
course, be made against the in
1ehnite prOlOngatlOn of subsidies
to the farmers in whatever form
they may be offered. But this
much is clear: That measures
which may have achieved a des'r-
ed purpose in an emergency are
not necessarily sound permanent
policies, and that much. if not all,
of the A.A.A. wi have, ultimately,
to be liquidated.
Whatever the final substitute
adopted in its place it must be
based on sound economic doctrine.
The underlying philosophy of re-
destruction and artificial
)Tice raising was unsOund.
Some such plan as Mr.. McMil-
EN- suggests has the great merit
# having as it's Underlying pur-
Iose to enlarge, rather than to re-
trict agricultural output. At the
anne time, by favoring and facili-
lting the improvement of soil
it tends towards cheap
ming the cost of production.
This, after all. is what the cOun-
y needs more than anything else,
5 this is the best method OF in
lring larger profits for the pro-
lcer and of reducing prices for
e consumer By reducing prices
encourages more sales. This,
turn, makes it easier to bring
'Out a more equitable distribu-
In of wealth.
" AANAASA VI lOt u6l lAEulLuIG
Ould be subsidized is an open
.estion.
But if the answer is to be i'm the
no better definition of
e objective of such a policy has
en- given than by Mr.. McMillen.
10 explains il as a policy that
bsidiZes the increase of agricul-
raj efficiency. the preservation

d the erection of an agricultural
'ucture that would leave us. up

DOsal is only suggestive. But
seems sufficiently novel. and. II
