Over the country opposition to this futile
federal farm program is growing Not onlv
is its cost excessive and growing but it is fail
ing to solve the problem of bringing produc
tion within the ranje of economic market
demand.
A few days ago Ws talked with a man well
Informed on this subject, who lives in the
wheal -producing section of Eastern Oregon.
He proposed that bushel rather than an acre
age limitations be placed on growers. That
would be more effective in reducing produc-
i tion Our own idea it for the government to
J announce a scale-down of price guarantees
over a term of years, so that at the end of the
! period, say five years, no guarantee would be
offered for any crop This would give grow
