REAL PROBLEMS AHEAD
FOR WHEAT AND COTTON

Need for some hard thinking
about postwar production of
wheat and cotton is emphasiz-
ed by the new Secretary OF
Agriculture who points out that
while current prices are at or
near parity for these two basic
commodities. such prices can
not be maintained for more
than a year or two after the
war for all the cotton and
wheat that farmers can pro-
duce.
He advises producers of these
two important crops that "the
hands of the clock are on the
move" and that somehow an
SWers must be found to such
questions as the following:
How much wheat and cotton
can farmers produce and still
conserve their soil?
How and to what extent
shall we stay in foreign mar
kets?
How much can production
costs-especially for cotton-be
reduced?
How can American cotton
best meet the competition of
synthetics here at home and
foreign cotton abroad?
Should we continue to mar
ket more wheat as livestock
feed as we have learned to do
during the war?
