Bensons Fading Hope
when Secretary AZ Apric,,l-
ture Benson got his farm pro-
gram under way. he expressed
belief that it would-if given
time-help agriculture to adj
Just from the abnormally high
levels OF war and post war
farm production TO . more
nearly normal peacetime level.
He conceded that there would
be some price ana income de.
clipes during the period o.
adjustment. Agriculture. ne
declared. would wind up funda-
mentally sound with farmers
under q minimum OF Govern
ment control.
But the Secretary now agrees
with party leaders that some
thing more needs to be done
to keep farm income from
dropping any lower during the
adjustment period.
