Why all this rumpus over the

Perhaps. a little background ma

of Farm Security-the agency that
has done SO much I'm the past eight
years to help disadvantaged Negro
and white farmers-can be sum-
married. as a common-sense at
tempt on the part of the federal
government to raise the level Of
life in rural America from the
bottom up.

Of big talk in AGRICULTURAL circles
about crop improvement and soil
conservation. There have been de-
vices for boosting and stabilizing
prices of farm products. Country
