partment of Agriculture in 1899.
now it's in War Food Admins
tration.
Over the years, it has operat-
ed at what you might call a
re a y handsome loss - not
through any mismanagement of
its own, but because Congress
in its infinite wisdom set the
thing up TO work that way. CCC
has made money on its opera
tions in cotton, about $50 mill
lion all told, but its excess of
realized and appraised losses
over profits and income" its ac-
cumulated deficit in other words,
is in round numbers Sl97 mil
lion Most of that was built up
in the early years. In the last
two years, the war years, on
50 billion operation. it has lost
only S25 million. anyone might
lose SIS million or so Just in
having to count 81 billion, What
the heck.
But CCC has done a lot more
with its money than just count
it. The things it's in BY any
other name, in any other place,
the losses Of CCC would be CON
sidered subsidies. But subsidy
is nasty word around these
parts, stranger, and don't let
anyone catch you saying that
CCC has subsidized anything or
anyone. The polite way to put it
is TO say that the Commodity
Credit Corporation has contrib
uted greatly toward stabllizing
agriculture.
In 1888 and for five years
thereafter, there were big sur
pluses of cotton and corn, and
CCC was set up then to make
loans against those SURPRISES so
as 10 stabilize prices. Then in
1893 when CCC was transferred
10 the Department of Agricul-
ture, il got all tied in with the
ever normal granary program
and was integrated all over the
place with triple-A, crop insur-
ance and such. On the six basic
crops-cotton, rice, corn, wheat,
tobacco and peanuts 49, CCC
makes loans TO tide the farmers
over until such time as they can
or want to sell, advancing IS
per cent of parity on cotton and
wheat, 80 per cent on the 9TH
ers.
On non-basic crops, meaning
all others. CCC makes loans on
price support programs for the
farmer, usually at 90 per cent
Of parity. All these loans are
on what's called mon re-
course basis, meaning that the
borrower can refuse 10 pay off
his loan at any time and turn
oyer his security, meaning the
crop, 10 the government. This
is one of the most perfect de
vices thought up yet for stick
ing the government and Subsi-
dizing pardon stabilizing ag
riculture. 1t accounts for the
fact that your government now
owns millions Of bushels and
bales and tons of almost any
farm product YOU can name
CCC charges 3 per cent interest
on It's loans. but il will pay
farmers TO store their own Sc
curity.
CCC has a tremendous role
in the war effort. but that's a
story in itself and will have 10
