AGRICULTURE COOPERATING

To County Agents of The Northeastern and Southeastern Districts:

This letter is being sent to all the Agents in the twodistricts shown above. We particularly direct this to theattention of those agents who have indicated a demand for feederpigs in the following counties: Washington, Halifax, Sampson,Bertie, Beaufort, Martin, Johnston, Edgecombe, Pitt, Barnett,Cumberland, Carteret, Fender, Lenoir, Duplin, Jones, New Hanover,and Scotland.

We received a letter from ProfesSor William J. Loeffell,Lincoln, Nebraska. We wired him for further information and hisreply has just been received. Two paragraphs of his letter arequoted here for your information: "Large numbers of feeder pigsare now being offered and the price at country auctions rangesfrom 3 to 7 cents per pound depending upon weight, quality andwhether there is a veterinarian certificate of vaccination.Light weight pigs, particularly if of mediocre quality and uncertainvaccinatiOn history are selling in the neighborhood of 3 cents.Heavy pigs if of good quality and accompanied by a veterinariancertificate certifying to vaccination are selling up to 7 cents.5 note that feeder pigs are quoted on the Omaha market from 3 tocents. '

"It would be very desirable if you could have a repre—sentative to make the-purchases directly on the farms. The pigscould be loaded into cleaned and disinfected trucks and then tocleaned and disinfected cars. Arrangements could be made to feed-and water the pigs in the car enroute so that you would be sure”that they would reach you in good condition and avoid exposingthem to the hazards of public markets." _We wired Professor Loeffell: "Re. letter fourth indicateddemand five to ten thousand head good vaccinated sixty pound pigs.What cost per pound. If I come Lincoln would you assist contact—ing county agents. Impossible leave here before fifteenth orsixteenth. What price grade feeder cattle. Wish write our agentsdefinitely Monday Morning. Please reply Western Union collect."And he replied as follows: "Farm Bureau Federation and ExtensionService will cooperate fullest extent if you come. Choice 60.pound vaccinated pigs quotable at 6¢. Bulk feeder cattle willnot move till later. Good and choice feeder steers at Omaha 5.75to 7¢. Heifers 4.50 to 5.50. Good and choice steer calves 5.50to 7.25."

The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad has furnished the follow-ing information. Minimum weight for single deck cars, 16,000pounds. Minimum weight for double deck cars, 22,000 pounds.Freight rate on single decks $1.05 per 100 pounds and on doubledecks $0.93 per 100 pounds. This rate is from Omaha, Nebraskato New Bern. Rates to other Eastern North Carolina points areabout the same. If we can load 125 pigs weighing 60 pounds eachinto a single the freight per pound will be $2.25 per 100 pounds.With 250 in a double the freight will amount to about $1.36 per100 pounds. The estimated cost is as follows:

Estimated Cost per 100 PoundsDelivered Weight

Single Deck Double Deck 'Average purchase price $6.00 $6.00Freight 2.25 1.36Travel, subsistence,telephone,telegraph and other incidentalcosts .10 .10Death loss of 10 percent(estimated) .85 .85Feed Cost enroute 1.40 1.40Shrink in weight of 10percent (estimated) .92‘ .92

Total $11.52 ' _ $10.63The tentative estimates by the County Agents showed ademand for about 13,000 pigs. The estimate for travel costs isbased on 7,000 pigs and if more than this are actually orderedthe travel cost will be less per 100 pounds. If we find that wecan load more than 125 single or 250 double we will do so and thatwill decrease the cost.

It is suggested that we buy only the good pigs as describedin Mr. Loeffell's telegram. Poor quality pigs are a liability atany price. We will take advantage of anything that will reducethe cost provided it is consistent with safety.I should leave here Saturday night August 15th. andpurchase the pigs next week. If we wait too long the best onesmay be sold. We are enclosing herewith copies of our order blankand agreement for your use. Have each person who orders to sign

this blank in duplicate. Send me one copy and keep one for yourfiles. Arrange to have someone selected by the purchasers toreceive the money and deposit it in the bank. Collect $10.75for each 100 pounds ordered. Then have an officer of the bank towrite a letter stating the total amount of drafts that will behonored for pigs to be purchased at the rate of 6 cents per pound.Attach a Cashier's Check to the letter, made payable to H. W.Taylor, to be used in paying expense of travel, subsistence,telegrams, etc. Determine the amount of the check by multiplyingeach 100 pounds ordered by 10 cents. The unused portion of this'money will be returned. The signed orders, the Cashier's letterand check should be here not later than Saturday morning August 15.We will either draft or wire for payment of pigs bought. The fundsfor the freight and to cover losses should be retained in the bank.Be sure to include in the Cashier's letter the name of the personor organization to whose credit the money is deposited. Also tellme who to ship the pigs to. '

Caution your folks not to buy more pigs than they havefeed for, because a high corn price for the next 12 months isindicated. Please read the agreement on the order and make surethat each person who signs the agreement understands it.

Very truly yours,

Ag/fif. ’ affl/

H. W. Tay or,Extension Swine Specialist

P. S: Mr. Case suggests that feeder cattle can be purchased inWestern North Carolina at a later date and he thinks youwill do as well here as in the West.

Dear Sir:

Mr. H. W. Taylor, Extension Swine Specialist, will cond.ucta school on Hog Management at Trenton Courthouse, Monday night,November 23rd. at 7: 00 P.M.

It is to the interest of every farmer in Jones County whogrows hogs, either for the market or. his own use, to be presentat that meeting as two moving pictures wilJ- be shown. One pictureshowing the proper management and feeding of hogs and the otherin disease and worm control. Mr. Taylor will also conduct adiscussion regarding the growing of hogs in this section. Asthe discussion will last about two hours and a half, we arebeginning the meeting promptly at 7:00 o'clock.

If you have tenants on your farm bring them along or seethat they are present. Good hogs are important to them also.

It is estimated that under our present method of growinghogs that worms alone slow up the growth of hogs as much as 20%.In other words, if you keep your hogs under average conditions,worms get one out of every five bushels or corn you feed to yourh0g3 Therefore it will be money in your pocket to be presentand take part in this discussion and secure from Mr. Taylor asatisfactory method of controlling worms in your herd.

Remember the time and placew~MONDAY N IGHT, NOVEMBER 23,' AT 7:00 P. M. TRENTON, N. C.

Yours very truly,

F. F. Hendrix, County Agent

The Dairyman’s Place in

Farm SolidarityAdapted in the Division of Information from an address by Henry A. Wallace,Secretary of Agriculture, befOre the annual meeting of the National Coop-erative Milk Producers’ Federation at Baltimore, Md, November 2, 1.937

Secretary Wallace suggests several elements of policy which the dairy indus-try will doubtless want to consider carefully as the national farm program istaking shape:First, the agricultural conservation program should be continued, providingfor the maintenance and improvement of soil fertility.Second, surplus removal and feeding the unemployed and undernourishedare excellent methods of dealing with temporary surpluses of dairyproducts.Third, in the fluid-milk production areas further development of State andFederal marketing programs should be designed to obtain for the pro-ducer a fair share of the price paid by consumers for milk and cream.Such programs should also promote equity among producers in the areathrough market-wide pooling or other arrangements.Fourth, Federal and State cooperation in the elimination of tuberculosis,Bang’s, and other diseases should be continued.Fifth, in addition to the foregoing measures, dairy farmers should examinethe ways in which more general farm programs, such as the ever-normalgranary, would affect their industry.

Farmers Depend on Each OtherHE FORTUNES and misfortunes of wheat and corn and cottonproducers have been shared by the farmers whose chief product is

milk or cream or butter. In the situation following 1929, dairy farm—ers at first profited from the low prices of feed, but later wereplunged into depression as buying power in the cities fell off and asthe farmers who ordinarily produce other things turned in large num-bers to dairying. In the situation following the droughts of 1934: and1936, dairymen who buy their feed felt the pinch of high feed prices.The great improvement in farm purchasing power and general pur-chasing power that has taken place, has had a beneficial effect ondairy producers’ incomes.The dairyman’s fortunes are closely connected with stability of

economic affairs. VGiven stability of outside conditions, dairying isone of the most dependable occupations to be found anywhere. Theenterprise lends itself admirably to‘ systematic organization. Thedairy barn is a little factory in itself. The dairy cow, While she

28716°—37

has been truly called the “foster mother of the human race,” is inanother sense a milk—producing machine. A barnfull of high-pro-ducing dairy cows is a factory full of wonderfully eflicient machinesof great value to their owner and to the public. Like other ma-chines, dairy cows operate with great precision. In their period oflactation they are ready to have the dairyman take their producteach morning and each night, without fail. And they expect thedairyman to be equally regular and prompt in providing them withtheir raw material in the form of their feed. For most dairy farm-ers, revenue from their enterprise is on as certain and regular aschedule as are the habits of the cows.Adversity Forced Competitive Dairying. But the best-planned

and best-organized dairy business is at the mercy of drastic fluctua—tions outside itself such as those just described. When rain andcotton farmers and pork and beef producers lose their buylng powerand stop buying from the city industries, and city workers lose theirjobs, and demand for milk falls off, then the price of milk falls off,too, and dairymen share the adversity of their fellows. And whenthe grain farmers go into dairying as a way out of their own diffi—culties, troubles are multiplied for those already engaged in dairyproduction. When crop failure due to drought or other cause cutsdown the supply of feed, then feed prices go skyrocketing. Fromthe dairyman’s standpoint, this is equally as bad, at least temporarily,as having milk prices fall. '

If only these other factors in the dairyman’s enterprise could beas well systematized as his own production operations, the dairy busi-ness would indeed be one of the most stable and dependable to befound anywhere.The dairyman has been accustomed so long to these frequent ups

and downs. that he may have come to look upon them as acts of Godabout which nothing can be done. But the Nation’s experience ofthe last 4 years shows that many of the things which formerly werelooked .upon as acts of God were really acts of man, which can becounteracted by acts of man, if man is only intelligent enough. Thatis why many farmers advocate the adoption of a permanent nationalfarm program which will include an ever-normal granary and whichwill tend to smooth out some of the fluctuations that have been abane to dairymen. That is why 60 representative farm leaders metin Washington last February 9 to make recommendations for sucha program. That is why President Roosevelt has urged the adoptionof such a program. That is why Congress has agreed in a jointresolution to make farm legislation its first order of business. Thatis why subcommittees of the Senate Committee on Agriculture haveheld hearings in all parts of the country and why the agriculturalcommittees of both Houses of Congress prepared legislation to beconsidered at the special session which President Roosevelt called.Increased Production Brought Lower Prices—Dairy farmers

were in a relatively better position than other groups of farmers inthe period preceding the great depression. By 1929 demand condi-tions were more favorable than they had been at any time since theend of the World War. The number of milk cows for each 1,000 ofour population was small, cows were being fed liberally, and milkproduction per cow was high. Farm prices of dairy products aver-aged 57 percent above the pre-war level.

As the depression gradually deepened and other farmers saw thatprices of milk and its products had not slipped so severely as thoseof grains, meats, and other commodities, they got to thinking thatperhaps they ought to try their hand at this dairying business. Theresult was that many of these farmers began to feed cows for milkproduction instead of selling their grain at ruinous prices.The number of milk cows increased 20 percent in the 5 years from

the beginning of 1929 to the end of 1933, rising from 221/2 million tonearly 27 million. This represented a change from the smallest num—ber to the largest number of milk cows since 1900 for each 1,000population. Production per cow was cut down by a series of poorpasture seasons and restricted grain feeding, but the total growth incow numbers was only partially offset and production continued toincrease. With the extreme shrinkage of consumer incomes, pricesof dairy products fell still further, and by March 1933, averaged 29percent below the pre-war level, as against 57 percent above in 1929.In March of 1933 dairy farmers could buy with the average pound oftheir product only 71 percent as much as they could before the war.But at that, the dairy farmers were better off than most other farm-ers. Therefore, the other farmers, especially in the Corn Belt, con-tinued to go into dairying and competition grew more intense. Sur-pluses piled up. Markets, especially fluid-milk markets, were throwninto turmoil.Farmers Launched United Effort. Despite ample supplies and

low prices consumers were no longer able to buy because of widespreadunemployment and steadily reduced wages. The whole vicious cycleof depression was complete. Corn had been burned for fuel, wheatbins and cotton warehouses were overflowing. Butter prices wereextremely low. Under the lash of necessity all the farm groups gottogether, and demanded action by Congress. The result was theAgricultural Adjustment Act.With Government cooperation, farmers set out on an active course

of self-help. In the summer of 1933, dairy farmers began the opera-tion of a program which covered some of their most immediate needsand helped to restore a measure of stability to the industry. Thisprogram, as it gradually developed, was concerned with three func-tions: Removal of price-depressing surpluses, improvement of mar—keting conditions, and eradication of cattle diseases.

Surplus removal was accomplished through the purchase of manu-factured dairy products for distribution to persons on relief. Thesepurchases helped to stabilize prices, yet left a normal volume ofproduction to flow unhampered through ordinary trade channels.This program, besides affording a measure of protection to dairyfarmers’ income, made available nutritious food to some of the peoplewho were most in need of well-balanced diets.The attempt to improve marketing conditions directly was begunthrough a series of milk-marketing agreement programs. These pro—grams have had a somewhat checkered career because of the twistsand turns and blind alleys they have encountered. At the outset,many questions arising in the use of this new device—the marketingagreement had to be faced by both the cooperatives and the A. A. A.And then, before even the most pressing of these problems hadbeen settled, the legality of operations under the marketing agree—ments was contested in the courts. As a result, not all of the benefits

that might be expected from them have yet been realized. Neverthe-less, marketing agreements and orders have offered one of the prin-cipal means of stabilizing markets which appeared to be chronicallychaotic. "The agreements were designed to provide more satisfactoryand fairer pricing systems to producers, to keep prices more nearly inadjustment with immediate supply and demand conditions in thesales area affected, to assure each producer his fair share of themarket, and to stop unfair competitive practices. The benefits ofthese agreements have extended beyond the immediate help to pro-ducers’ pocketbooks. The whole dairy industry, and the consumingpublic as well, has gained by the restoration of order and regularityin the conditions surrounding the marketing of dairy products.Disease Eliminated; Herds Improved—The program for the

elimination of diseased cattle was put into effect somewhat later thanthe first emergency measures. All dairymen were familiar with theFederal-State-county cooperative arrangement for the control oftuberculous cattle which had been carried on since 1917. Most- dair -men believed this effort should be broadened and developed on a moreintensive scale. In addition, relatively little had been done towardthe elimination of Bang’s disease, though infected cows generallyproduce only about four-fifths as much milk and half as many calvesas healthy cows. So dairymen felt that the time had come to makean exceptional drive for the improvement of herds. A program waslaunched which intensified efforts toward tuberculosis eradication andthe removal from dairy herds of cows infected with Bang’s disease.Cattle were tested at Government expense. Government indemnitieswere provided when animals had to be destroyed. Dairymen saw,and the public saw, that in the long run healthy herds would meannot only a safer milk supply but more efficient production of bettermilk at lower costs.Up to 1936 the. three types of programs described comprised the

Government’s principal efforts on behalf of the dairy industry. Then,under the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, a broad-scale conservation program was launched. As thousands of dairyfarmers found, this program was well suited to their needs. A greatmany more farmers in the dairy States have been taking part in theconservation program this year and last than took part in the oldproduction—adjustment programs. In Wisconsin, for example, 1936participation in the conservation program was so high that the Stateranked among the top half dozen in the. entire Nation.‘Where Do Dairymen Find Themselves Today?—Partly as a re-

sult of the two serious droughts of 1934 and 1936, dairy herds aresmaller and more in line with the long-time trend. The Spreadingcompetition from other depressed farmers has ceased to be an activethreat and the normally established producers have benefited. Thoughdrought conditions affected milk production per cow, present amplefeed supplies indicate increasing production. Last year, in order tobolster the supply of feed and forage available for winter feeding,the A. A. A. modified the agricultural conservation program in orderto encourage increased planting of drought—resistant crops. But nowthe effects of the 1936 drought on dairy feed supplies are almost gone.More important still has been the substantial improvement in urban

consumer demand for farm products. The depression taught the obvi-ous and painful lesson that people cannot buy unless they have moneyto buy with. In 1937 the national income has been nearly doublewhat it was in 1932.

AS a result of all these factors, cash farm income from dairy prod-ucts last year amounted to about $1,400,000,000, as compared with lessthan a billion dollars in 1932. Dairy prices this coming winter willprobably be high enough to give dairy farmers a greater profit thanat any time since 1929.Meantime the principal features of the three-way program launched

by dairy farmers with the aid of the Government in 1933 and 1934have been continued. Their usefulness has by no means ceased.The marketing agreements and- orders, however, have been handi-

capped somewhat by conflicting decisions in the lower courts. Oneimportant ground for adverse decisions was removed last spring whenCongress reenacted portions of the old Agricultural Adjustment Actin the new Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act. Final court deci—sion on the major legal questions involved appears to be not far dis-tant, and when it comes the dairy industry will at last know where itstands with respect to its efforts to utilize the marketing-agreementmethod.Unbalanced Production Is Danger to Dairymen. In the de-

velopment of the dairy program producer cooperatives have played asignificant and valuable part. They have striven consistently to rep-resent producer welfare at a time when organized action was essential.The place of the true farmer cooperatives in the dairy industry shouldbe safeguarded and strengthened.However, some other branches of agriculture had an even more diffi-

cult row to hoe than had the dairy industry since 1933. Just what isthe status of the rest of agriculture today?When we look at the commodity picture, we see that dairymen still

have cause to fear additional competition unless the other farm groupsreceive fair returns for their work. Corn prices are only half whatthey were a few months ago and if ordinary weather continues a seri—ous wheat problem appears only one season away. If low corn andwheat prices continue, the farmers of the West will inevitably milkmore cows.Some men in the dairy industry have felt that perhaps the conserva-

tion program would be a detriment to them by encouraging farmersto diversify their farming and shift from soil depleting to pasture andcover crops and hence to dairying. But the real danger to dairymenis not from the conservation program but from unbalanced productionconditions which put producers of other farm commodities in the red.And, in the case of cotton and pork, unbalanced production brings

on still another danger to dairymen. For example, the more theproduction of cotton increases, the more cottonseed there is availablefor the manufacture of cottonseed oil. In the same way, big porkproduction leads to big supplies of lard. Both cottonseed and lard areimportant in the fats—and—oils picture and both compete with butterfat.Many dairymen have long believed that all fats and oils are ulti-

mately competitive with each other. Ordinarily we produce in theUnited States two—thirds as many pounds of cottonseed oil as we pro-duce of butter. Most of the cottonseed oil is used in making cook-ing compounds to substitute for lard. In 1936 a total of 108 millionpounds of cottonseed oil was used in making oleomargarine. It ispossible that in 1938 the figure will be larger because of the unusuallylarge cotton crop.Fats and Oils Compete Each With Other.—Those who argue that

the diversion of cotton land into soil-conserving uses will increase

greatly the commercial dairy production of the South may well pauseto consider whether the competition from the cottonseed-oil produc-tion on these lands when in cotton may not be more significant thanthe competition from a few dairy cows. Anyone who has traveledthrough the cotton sections of the South and has observed the pasturesand the lack of dairy traditions knows the answer.There may be difference of opinion as to how completely competi-

tive all the fats and oils may be. But there can be no differenceof opinion as to the competitive situation which exists between but-ter, lard, and cottonseed oil. Hog farmers, dairy farmers, and cottonfarmers, therefore, have a community of interest which has been alltoo little appreciated. The corn farmers of the Middle West arecertain to compete with the dairy farmers of the East. If they don’tdo it in one way, they will do it in another. If they grow the maxi-mum acreage of corn, they will produce a greater total of animalproteins and fat than if they divert a part of their corn acreage intosoil-building crops. In 1936 we produced only 736 million poundsof federally inspected lard. But by 1939, as a result of the largercorn crop of 1937, we may anticipate a lard production of roughly1 billion 100 million pounds. ‘All animal fats and proteins are ultimately competitive. It is es-

sential, therefore, that dairy farmers and corn farmers approach theirproblem as one problem. Dairy farmers have a real interest in pro-grams designed to balance cotton and pork production with demand.Such programs tend to keep these products in a stable relationshipwith butterfat. That is why it is to the interest of dairy farmers towork with all farmers toward a program for national agriculturalstability. They did it in 1933. They must do it again in 1937 andcontinuously if there is to be any long-time mutual well-being.

Just what, then, is to be the future relationship of dairying to therest of agriculture? What agricultural policies are good policiesfor dairymen and good policies for other farmers, too? The answerto these questions must come from dairy farmers working in coopera-tion with all other farmers, if equitable programs for agriculture areto be put into operation.What should be the broad objective of a national agricultural

program? It seems to me that parity income for agriculture is a de-sirable goal, and one that would protect and promote the long-timepublic welfare. As we approach parity of farm income, it will becontinually important to see that a proper balance is maintainedbetween the various great branches of the farming industry. Dairyfarmers and the other producing groups ought to move forwardtogether.

In those phases of the dairy program which involve special actionwith respect to prices (through marketing agreements and orders) itwill probably be necessary and desirable to retain the modified parityprice standard, among others. It will not be possible in years ofabnormally large feed supplies, however, to maintain actual parityprices in most fluid-milk markets since it is necessary to take intoaccount demand conditions, the effect of prices upon future supplies,the relation of prices in one market to those in adjacent areas, and thelevel of prices for milk used for manufactured products. There areseveral elements of policy which the dairy industry will doubtlesswant to consider carefully as the national farm program takes shape.

First, the agricultural conservation program should be con-tinued, providing for the maintenance and improvement of soilfertility. This program serves the long-time welfare of all agricul-ture and of the entire Nation. It has already proved its value ondairy farms, where it has led to more efficient and more economicalproduction. By producing and feeding more high-quality roughageand less grain, dairymen are able to produce their milk at less cost.Second, surplus removal and feeding the unemployed and

undernourished are excellent methods of dealing with temporarysurpluses of dairy products.Third, in the fluid milk production areas further development

of State and Federal marketing programs should be designed toobtain for the producer a fair share of the price paid by consumers formilk and cream. Such programs should also promote equity amongproducers in the area through market-wide pooling or other arrange-ments. As the powers of the Federal and State Governments in thisfield become better established it should be possible to strengthen fur—ther the effective cooperation that has existed between producers’ or-ganizations and governmental agencies in developing and adminis-tering programs which are beneficial to producers and which will atthe same time deserve the support of the consuming public.However, while suggesting these primary elements of a program

for milk producers, it is well not to be unmindful of another majorquestion for which we may or may not find the answer. This refersto the need, especially among the low—income groups, for a greaterconsumption of fluid milk. It refers also to the need of milk pro:ducers in our urban milksheds to make certain that the largest pos-sible amount of the milk they produce shall go into fluid consumption.The milk programs with which we are now working do not meetthis need. Since that is the case, we must keep alert for the discoveryof methods which will meet it. Whether this calls for further pro-ducer programs, or for distributor or consumer programs, or forbetter cooperation and contact among all these groups it is difficultto say. But it should be emphasized that here is a vital problemthat demands our earnest conSIderation.Fourth, Federal and State cooperation in the elimination of

tuberculosis, Bang’s and other diseases should be continued.Fifth, in addition to the foregoing measures, dairy farmers

should examine the ways in which more general farm programs,such as the ever-normal granary, would affect their industry.One of the objectives of the ever-normal. granary legislation is tocarry over the excess corn from the years of abundant productioninto the years of short production. Normally the carry-over of cornfrom one year to the next is only about 7 percent of the normal crop.This is not a large enough carry-over to furnish adequate protectionagainst droughts and against the alternating gluts and shortages inthe livestock markets. It is possible that the violence of the swingsresulting from these gluts and shortages can be materially reducedif the carry-over of corn from one 'year to the next can be substan-tially increased over the customary 7 percent. Stable supplies ofcorn will contribute to stable prices of corn and other feed grains.This will tend to even out the cost of feed to dairy farmers andencourage stability of dairy production. Furthermore, dairymen’slosses due to forced liquidation of herds during periods of feed short-age will be reduced. If supplies of feed can be stabilized, then all,

kinds of livestock production—dairy, poultry, pork, beef, and othermeats—can be kept on a more stable basis.Corn Loans May be Used in Setting up Granary. Large carry—

overs will tend to depress the price unless there is provision for lend-ing money to farmers to carry over a surplus on the farm. We havelearned that it is practical to do this kind of thing, because in thefall of 1933 the Government lent 45 cents a bushel on 268 millionbushels of corn, and the corn was stored under State warehouse sealon the farms in the Corn Belt States. This corn, which was heldover until the drought year of 1934, was of great service in mitigatingthe results of that drought.In the forthcoming legislation, it is hoped that the farmers in co-

operation with the Government will be enabled to undertake suchactivities in a manner which specifically protects both the farmer andthe consumer. As a result of the Nation’s experience with the FarmBoard in the years following 1929, we know that it is dangerous tolend large sums of money on farm crops unless there is provision forcontrolling the surplus when the granary overflows. If there is noprovision for controlling the surplus following years of unusuallyfavorable weather, the result is, first, serious loss to the Governmenton the loans; second, serious loss to the farmer because of low prices;and third, damage to the consumer because the loss in employmentand the bad business conditions resulting from the farmers’ disastermuch more than offset the decline in food prices. _When good weather and the corn loans result in the accumulation

of a new crop, plus a carry-over which is more than adequate—thatis, more than enough to produce sufficient fat livestock and sufficientdairy and poultry products to protect the consumer—~it has beenproposed that then the excess should be scaled up and kept off themarket. This kind of plan ought to result in a more uniform supplyof livestock products from year to year and, therefore, more uniform)rices.1 Anything which stabilizes the dairy industry and the rest ofagriculture helps to stabilize all business.—As was said before,dairy farmers, when things are going well for them are usually re-garded as good risks by their bankers. But if, through an ever-normal granary, they can be provided with a cushion against thekind of economic disaster for which they are in no way to blame,then they will be regarded as even better risks.For the dairy industry, and for all agriculture, these are years of

building. In the 41/2 years since the passage of the Agricultural Ad-justment Act, much has been done by farmers to put their industryon a healthy basis. But the battle is only partly won. It will notbe completely won until farm prices and farm income are given suffi-cient stability to assure the permanent soundness of our agriculture.The American farm home is one of the main pillars of our Ameri-

can democracy, and the fight to bring stability to agriculture is a fightto assure the integrity of the farm home. In this fight, every dairy-man is needed. It is his fight, and it is the fight of every cotton andtobacco producer, every wheat grower, every corn farmer, every pro-ducer of fruits and vegetables—it is the fight of farmers of the North,South, East, and West, and it is the fight that means economic sta-bility and happiness to all of the 30,000,000 people who live onAmerica’s farms.
