It proves a fact that has the department of agriculture and high government officials giddy and dismayed. The main administration program at Washington for the farmer has been crop and acreage reduction. Working on the theory that unless drastic action were taken, the American market would be glutted with agricultural surpluses for many years to come, thus keeping prices at bankrupt levels, steps were taken to kill pigs, plow under wheat and cotton, and other wise attempt to adjust demand and supply. The government paid out checks totaling millions to farmers in order to re compense them for crops thus destroyed. Everything went along well until the power of God ap peared, in the form of the worst drouth in generations. The wheat and cotton crops of whole stales wore literally burned to dust cattle died of thirst and starvation high winds whirled away seed and top-soil, making a desert of what had been the fi.KrSt and richest farm land in the country. Outside of the afflicted areas, the American people had little idea of what the result of this would be. They read the headlines, felt pity for the farmers whose year's income had vanished, agreed that the government should adminis ter relief. What they did not realize was that the drouth, following upon the man-made campaign to destroy produce, had turned the crop sm-plus into a crop deficit. And that means but one thing: Soaring food prices to the consumer. Private crop experts say that it will take five or six years to make up for the crops we have lost. Every one of these experts is of the belief that during tho coming winter food prices will be higher than for many years past and that, coming at a time when the national income is still heavily depressed and millions of families are earning just enough to get by on, contains the fruits of potential tragedy. President Roosevelt, Secretary Wallace and others have said that all the power of government will be used to prevent profiteering, that the consumer will be protected. lint no law exists which can keep farmers from hanging onto what crops they have left in the hope of higher prices no power has yet been called into play that can prevent speculation all along the line, from the farm to tho grocery store. . Washington is worried and uncertainand in the mean time the government is in the odd position of forcing crop reduction on one hand, while administering relief to crop sufferers on the other!
