FOOD SUPPLY
ABOVE NORMAL,
SURVEY SHOWS
Recent Yield Per Acre
II Per Cent Over Par

d.N.s) The United States
crop reporting board has found in
its end-of.the-season survey that
America is rich in nearly all
growable foodstuffS.
The board reported a remark
ably" large amount of crops were
grown on below-average acreage in
1888, yields per acre being almost
II per cent above averages for the
period 1882. which preceded
severe droughts.
AMONG BEST YEARS
Crop production, affected by a
recent shift from corn and cotton
to less intensive crops, was 5 per
cent above average, according to
the board, and almost as high as
in the most favorable seasons of
the past 20 years, with the excep-
tion of 1897, when more than
heavy yields resulted in produc-
ton Of l3 per cent above the pre-
drought average.
The situation now appears to
be, according to the boards fig
ures, that this nations farmers
raised more grain than American
cows and steers and other grain
eating animals could consume,
with the result that there is a
large surplus lying around loose
and in storage places.
CORN, COTTON PROBLEMS
Another factor which makes the
crops appear larger than average
is that the level of domestic and
foreign demand is lower than was
considered average few years
ago, the boards report said.
Most brow-furrowing situations
exist In the corn and cotton prob
lens. There was a 5000, ,O00-acre
decrease in corn planted or grown
and more than 8,000,0 900 in cotton
the smallest acreage planted to
those crops since the turn Of the
century.
CORN ABOVE AVERAGE
The production of corn was
above average in all of the most
important States, the board said
with the exception of Great Plains
States from North Dakota to
Texas. Total production for all
purposes was 2,542, 1888, 900 bushels
-1O.2 per cent above the 10-year
average 1926, but Al per cent
less than last years figure, accord.
ing to the board.
The cotton crop, slightly more
than 100000 bales, was not up
to scratch, the board said, but fol
lowed a toprheavy yield of approx
mately 100000 bales, which
means this nation has lot more
cotton than called for by its needs
TOBACCO GOOD, TOO
The tobacco crop production was
approximately 10 per cent above
average, the board asserted, despite
the fact that it was quite little
below last year. Yield per acre
was less than per cent below the
record of 1885.
Food crops production, partic
ularly topheavy last year, appears
| to be equally heavy this year, the
board said, although distributed
somewhat differently.
The wheat crop, nearly 931 600,
900 bushels, was 55,000,000 bush
els above last years production
the boards report indicated.

go bankrupt in the future?
What good does it do to pass a
law giving ourselves billions of
dollars, while at the same time
we waste our resources and dis
courage production so that the
money will not buy much?
LIKE RELIEF PROBLEM
First, we face this situation in
our relief" giving. We give re
lief" in such a way that unem-
ployment will continue at a maxi
mum. We even call the relief"
we give wages" as if in an effort
to fool ourselves. This is the WPA
problem which the New Deal has
left on our doorstep.
Now, we face the same sort of
problem in our Socalled security"
objective. We find that we are
"on the way" las Mr.. Roosevelt
used to say to increasing our in
security and making it constant by
the unwise and wasteful methods
we use. One great cause of inse-
curity is the periodic unemploy-
ment which comes with business
depresSions, so we adopt means
which keep us in a condition of
constant depression! Incidentally,
this prevents us individually from
making adequate provision for our
old age.
OBJECTIVE WORTH WHILE
Social security" is a fine objec-
tive. Economists have long ac-
cepted it. But what about the
method? Just consider what we
have done.
!. We started on the New
Deal assumption that the nation
can be treated as a sort Of single
corporations sort Of regi-
mented totalitarian state. So we
proceeded to set up a huge cash
reserve" Such a procedure
may do for invidual corpora
tions; but as a nation, we don't
want money We can't eat that.
What we want is food and
clothes.
2. In order to raise this IRE
Serve," we proceeded to collect
taxes from ourselves! In other
words, we take money away from
ourselves, for the alleged purpose
Of giving it back to ourselves.
Here is where we find the big
joker. which is the next point.
CASH RESERVE SPENT
3. Instead of accumulating this
reserve as a cash fund, We pro-
ceed to spend it as fast as it
comes in! The New Dealers col
lect the pay rolls taxes. Then
they waste the proceeds upon
iva, WPA. etc. The plain fact
is that the so-called security ere
serve" is just fiction used to
conceal the fact tnat the New
Dealers in reality spend our ere
serve" as they please.
I will grant that perhaps this
spending may be recognition of
the folly and futility of the IRE
serve" But if so, how much
worse it is to collect the pay roll
taxes!
GOVERNMENT PAYS
4. AS if realizing the unreality
of a cash reserve" (paper noteS)
accumulated for the nation as q
whole the New Dealers have made
the Social Security available only
to part of the nation. large num-
berS being excluded. Now, the
council proposes to broaden it.
In order to do this, however,
they propose that "the Govern
ment" (all of us) pay one-third
of the bill. instead of dividing it
between certain employers and
employees.
