New Farming !e Methods Pushing Production Above Demand . By Ovid A. Martin ! ! WASHINGTON. Aug. 31 S-OT) Looking beyond the postwar; re lief period, the agriculture ; de partment today envisioned e.tfte nation facing a choice between "rigid rationing of land and la bor" to curtail farm production. and measures designed to main tain a high level of consumption and exports. j , Otherwise, it said in effect, ag riculture may be thrown into an other depression by "revolution ary changes", in farm production which have taken place in the last quarter century. i In a report entitled "Changes in Farming in War and Peace," the department said that "re gardless of the market outlook. there is no road back from the agricultural' revolution that has ter-war period and - World war II." i)': The "department said that "as markets for farm .products can be' expanded, and as the, total volume of farm output cannot be reduced without -rigid ration ing of land and labor," it ap pears that the country should re verse the slogan of the thirties "adjust production to market de mands. Recalling efforts to curtail farm output under the AAA pro gram, the report said experience "suggests that It is less difficult in ' times of depression to increase the marVet outlet for farm pro ducts than it is to reduce 'the total volume of food output. The report said, however, that in periods of depression farmers should have "income insurance" which would protect them against ktten experienced during the in- disastrously low- prices.
