Plan TO Cut Surplus,
Boost Famine Relief
Urged by Food Unit

An up-to-date national farm pro-
gram designed to channel more food
into "half-flled stomachs" and to
avert large losses of surplus foods
and Federal funds was urged yes
terday by the National Planning
Association.
Twenty-six food and agriculture
leaders of the country participated
in an association report. Chairman
of the group was Donald R. Murphy,
editor of Wallace's Farmer and
Iowa Homestead.
Throwing away 10000, 900 bushels
Of potatoes as the Government has
just had to do is only a curtain
raiser on the farm problems the
Nation may face unless means are
found to channel more meat, milk
and fruit into half-filled Stomachs -
the report stated.
1t asserted that revised, mod
ernized farm program would shift
farmers efforts away from grow
ing crops which threaten to be-
come a drug on the market in a
few years and would encourage
them to turn out more of the
products that the country needs
and can buy under a system of full
employment at good wages"
The experts were critical Of the
Government program, directed by
Congress, of supporting farm COM
modities at 80 per cent of parity.
Parity prices are out of date.
Since that time Q910-14) technc-
logical improvements in farming
have greatly reduced the cost of
growing some crops so that the
promise of 80 per cent of parity is
an invitation to over-production.' >
The parity yardstick, it was noted
fails to take into account the fact
some foods have lost their popu-
larity, while others, scarcely known
before World War I, are now in
great demand.
The House Agriculture Committee
plans to open hearings in April on
farm problems and to eventually
work out long-range program foI

ed indebtedness 100000.
Also the old commission pur-
chased Garrison Blight. the
Sweeney property, South Beach

Whitehead and Southland. streets.
Considerable improvements to
city property and purchase of
equipment of various kinds were
also recorded. Value of property
acquired is higher than pur-
chase price,

what it did by first compelling
all city taxpayers to pay their
