HUGE CROP WORRIES.
AFFECT FARM INCOME.
COTTON, WHEAT, CORN.
SOMETHING NECESSARY.
K ' .
(Hugo S. Sims, Washington Corres
pondent.)
This summer wehat, corn, and cot
ton are giving officials of the Agri
cultural Adjustment Administration
'something to worry about
? _
How to control production of ma
jor farm commodities in order to in
crease the farmers' income and how
to induce farmers to cooperate in
proper control methods are two prob
lems that are giving the agricultural
planners plenty to think about
It will also pay the farmers of
the United State ts to do soma think
ing on this subject themselves. Large
crops and unsettled markets combine
to produce low prices, which means
a cut in the income of the producer.
Secondly, it seems, the producers
themselves should be vitally concern
ed in attempting a solution of the
problems that confront them.
Last year, for example, a wheat
crop of 873,000,000 bushels returned
about $873,000,000 to its growers.
This year's wheat crop of 967,000,000
bushels is expected to return about :
$550,000,000 to its growers. In ether
words, a larger wheat crop, Which
the world could use, produces much
less money.
mi ? i ?*
Take the case of cotton. Last year
a 19,000,000 hale crop dropped the
price from thirteen cents a pound to- \
nine cents. This year, acreage was
reduced from 40,000,000 acres to
27,000,000 but the present prospects
is a crop of 11,000,000 bales. The
price sticks around nine cents. The ]
reason is to be found in the huge 3
carryover from last year, which, com- <
bined with the present crop, gives ,
the world an overdose of American ,
cotton.
% ?
r
Corn is threatening to become a
more coomplex problem. With a big
crop in sight, the price is declining. 1
This means that early next month, ?;
the growers will he asked to vote on
the question of using Government
power to compel individual growers
to store part of their crop. AAA of
ficials expect corn growers will not;
vote for the storage quotas, which ]
they fqar will mean lower, corn
prices to be followed by heavy feed
ing of livestock and the beginning of
a sharp Increase in the 'supply of
meat animate and dairy animate
which will provide future price prob-'
lems in these fields.
*
The situation is serii^^'l&drob
tedly, something must be done to
solve the dilemma of huge crops and
lower incomes for the growers. It is
up to farmers, agricultural leaders
and Government officials V> get to
gether on some plan which wfll be
Sffli
The farm problem has been with
the nation for more than ten yearn.
It feas not yet been solved. Whether
control of production as advocated by
AAA officials will ?)b the job or not
remains to be seen. Such control has
not yet been 'effectively attempted.
In the case of cotton, the Supreme
Court decision overthrowing : the
original taw resulted in- a free crop
of stupendous size last year. In the
case of corn and wheat, the accident
of drought ana short crops,. abroad
interferred. ?.
The only question for the nation to
decide is whether we are willing to
let nature take its course in the tra
ditional manner until falling prices
have forced enough farmers off their
land to reduce the surplus supplies,
or whether we want- the Government
and the. farmenr.to cooperate In a
system of control and benefit pay
ments which will give some tempo
rary relief, while awaiting the re
adjustment of world conditions that
may improve our maifctita,- There is
much argument on both aides of the
question and many farmers seem un
able- to make up their own minds.
.
It should be plain, however, that;
unless a system of restricted pro
duction, brought about by Govern
ment control and the operation of
natural laws, is put into effect, the
farmers of the United States will de
pend for their prosperity, upon the
markets for their crops outside the
United States. Any system "of con
trol will 'entail some difficulties and
even hardships upon part of the farm
population. Any successful effort to
win broader foreign markets will
mean readjustment of our ideas as to ?
imports from other nations and cause
some readjustments in this country.
Either way there is need for intelli
gence, cooperation and patience.
Every individual farmer can make
bis contribution along these lines,

HOME FEAST
|y.Under the shade of a tree which
I set oat In 1875. 68 yean ago, and
an elm, which my father planted in
1862 in front of the house in which
I was borji November 23, 1889, with
a group of thirty anxious appetites;
paid homage to hot barbecue, fried i
chicken, cake, slaw, lemonade, and
other accessories. Given by Bob
Tugwell and W. A. Hobgood, Jr., for
their helpers in putting th$r< tobac
co crop in and a few immediate
friends.. There were no special cere
monies, other than thanks, good
wishes, and good eating, farewells
and come agains. Gone but not'for
gotten. How dear are the scenes of
my childhood-r-when occasions pre
sents them to view! This is the third
year Bob has been on this farm and
the. second year for Hobgood and
their records are hard to beat, for.
good crops and something good to
eat.
