BENEFITS FOR THE "
CONSUMERS?
Doea anybody want to know the
justification for the payment of cash
benefits to the farmers of the Unit
ed States?
If high tariffs and other price-sup-1
porting devices for industrial prod
ucts have (1) adversely affected the
foreign market for farm products or
(2) increased living and production
costs of fanners in this country, then
the fanner is entitled to similar
"protection" from the government
There seems to be no' doubt bat
that certain policies of the Federal
government, adopted to "protect" in
dustry and labor, have impaired the
foreign markets for oar export crops.
The figures also reveal that the prices
of farm products in relation to non
farm prices are about 225 per cent
below a normal relationship.
Consequently, in our opinion, there
is the most complete justification for
compensating "protection" for farm
ers in the form of cash benefits, often
referred to as the "farmers' tariff."
Now, let us proceed another step.
If cash benefits to farmers are justi
. fied by the fact that Federal policies
have aided industry and increased
the costs of what the farmers have
to buy then the fact emerges that
both policies increas the costs of liv
ing to all consumers.
The question arises, "What shall
the government do for the rest of the
people who do not receive benefits,
like industry, and agriculture?"
Should there be other benefits ?
Would it be simpler to abolish all
benefits?
FARMERS AND THE PRICE
RATIO
Fanners should not lose sight of
the ratio that exists between ? the
prices they have to pay for the things
they buy and the prices they get for
the things they sell.
For example, the price of cotton
and wheat might double but if the
things that cotton and wheat growers
buy triple the plight of the growers
would become worse despite the in
creased price they get for their crops.
This is what has happened in the
nation during the past quarter of a
century. Prices for the products of.
the farm have not attained pre-war
figures but prices of non-agricultural
products are above them.
The surpluses that have plagued
the farmers of the nation are being
slowly disposed of under present
methods of crop control. Agriculture
in the United States is on a limited
production basis but prices continue
below pre-war figures. Agriculture
win only attain its pre-war status
when there is available a market, at
fair prices, for the production of the
natron's farms without crop control.
The reader win note that we said
"wiU only attain its pre-war status"
in the above paragraph. It is afcfll
questionable whether the pre-war
status of agriculture is sufficient,
either from the standpoint of the
farmers or the welfare of the nation,
as a whole.

It was developed By Oliver L. Snapp,]
senior entomologist of &e U. S. De-|
partment of Agriculture, at the peaeh l
insect laboratory at Fort Valley, Gal
Bo well says that the emulsion has!
many advantages over the previous-!
ly recommended paradichlorobeiisenB j
crystal method. For one thing, it is
effective at low soil temperatures]
and ean therefore be used late in thai
fall and early in the spring, whsn it]
is too cold for the P.D.B. crystal s to I
be effective. Also it is effective and |
safe for use on young trees as well!
as old trees. J
The entomologist further explain- (
ed that the ethylene dichloride treat- J
ment requires a minimum of prep-]
aration of the soil before treatment, j
and no attention subsequent to
mounding after treatment Just as J
good results are obtained by pouring!
it around the trees as by the use of]
a sprayer. The cost is lees than that]
of P. D. B.
The emulsion is available in a ]
commercial preparation, which is ]
recommended for small orehardbts,]
but Rowell said that large growers]
may find it more economical to *mix
their own. He offered to furnish full]1
details to all interested persons who j
write him at State College, Raleigh. I
He said, however, that most county b
farm agents are in a position to ad- j
vise farmers on the source and]
methods of using ethylene dichloride I j
emulsion.
Whenever you get the idea that]
you really are a big man in the]
business would, ask your banker how
much you can borrow.
