BABSON* | Copyright 1937, Publishers Financial Bureau, Inc. Babson Park, Mass., July 2. —Labor troubles and congressional jockeying are providing spectacular newspaper headlines. More basic and more im portant news, however, is being made out in the farm country. There no body is being shot; while the mails' are being delivered as usual. But the cultivators and threshers are working over-time for this is the busiest year on the American farm in almost a decade. City folks do not realize the power ful position the farmer holds in our economy. The 1934 and 1936 droughts unconsciously gave us the impression that crop failures build prosperity.

HUTSON SAYS MORE LAWSARENEEDED AAA Official Tells Growers At Greenville More Au thority Urgent Greenville, N. C., July 2.—(AP)—J B. Hutson, assistant administrator of the AAA, told a farmers’ meeting here today further legislation was necessary to make the government’s crop control adequate for both pro ducer and consumer. “If we assume the responsibility for programs which aim at securing the farmer a reasonable and stable income,” he said in ar address pre pared for delivery to the annual Pitt county Farm Bureau picnic, “we must also assume the responsibility for assuring the consumer an ade quate supply of feed and fibre at reasonable prices.” The present syst-im of control thro ugh conservation, “valuable as it is,” Hutson said, might not meet the sit uation which would arise in connec tion with some crops if we had an other dry siege such a=? that of 1936. Nor will our present plan meet the situation caused by a se-ies of years when growing conditions are unusual ly good. It will eliminate the fluctua tions which arise from heavy sur pluses only to a certain extent. Many feel that something more is needed if all is to be done that can be done to mitigate the fluctuation in produc tion, prices and incomes.” Passage by Congress of legislation authorizing State compacts for con trol of flue-cured tobacco production ,the administrator said, was recog nition of this need. The legislation failed because some of the states de clined to enact necessary State laws. Hutson expressed the opinion this year’s tobacco crop, with favorable weather, would exceed 750,000,000 pounds. 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY GOOD CROP LIKELY, PRESIDENT THINKS O’Brien Says Federal Regu lation and Blue Mold Threaten U.
