Control of Farm
Prices Advocated
By Secy. Wickard
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (AP)
Secretary of Agriculture Wic
kard gave his support today to
price-control legislation which
would authorize ceilings on farm
products at not less than 110 per
cent of parity, but declared that
agricultural commodities were
not to high yet.
Recalling trials of farmers
growing out of the inflationary
and deflationary periods of the
first world war, the secretary
said: '
"I do not believe that the
American economy can stand a
repitition of anything like that."
Wickard's statement was made
before a house banking commit
tee considering an administration
supported price control bill.
IGrcater Production Needed
Wickard declared, however,
that price control alone would
not prevent inflation. As for
agriculture, he. said, the surest
preventive was Increased produc
tion. He said the agriculture de
partment had inaugurated a pro
gram designed to give this coun
try its greatest production of food
and crops next year.
"Like other farmers," the sec
retary said, "I have watched with
mingled pleasure and fear these
recent price increases for farm
products. I think the pleasure is
understandable enough after 20
years of unfairly low farm pric
es. Even greater than the plea
sure, though; is the fear of what
happens when prices get too high.
They are certainly not there now.
But speaking as one farmer, I
hope they never do get there."
Wheat Penalty Opposed
The senate agriculture commu
te approved today legislation that
would remove the penalty of
about 49 cents a bushel on so-called
excess wheat for farmers with
short crops.
The measure already has been
passed by the house. A similar
bill was vetoed by President
Roosevelt several weeks ago
when congress attached riders
seeking to freeze government
loan slocks of wheat and cotton.
As a separate bill, the wheat
penalty modification won a
recomendation from the secre
tary of agriculture and unani
mous approval of the senate com
mittee. W. M. Ralston New Ad
Mngr. of News-Review
William M. Ralston, former ad
vertising manager of the East
