Farm Leaders
Study Program
Washington, Dec. 31 UR Admin
istration farm leaders studied re
cent agricultural developments
Tuesday in preparation for battles
in congress and among farmers ov
er the new deal's crop control pro
gram. Uncertainty over the farm pro
gram caused three factors, unfavor
able to it, to stand out:
1. Republicans and anti-administration
democrat in congress have
Increased, a large portion of the
November election gains by those
groups being In the midwest farm
belt.
2. Huge surpluses of wheat and
corn have forced the agriculture
department to set the wheat acreage
goal far below this year's harvest
ing and maintain proposed corn
acreage a,t the low figure which
precipitated a "corn revolt" in the
midwest last spring.
3. Referenda among cotton, to
bacco and rice growers, while show
ing a distinct majority In favor of
the AAA program, also reflects a
decided shift in sentiment away
from the thumping approval voted
In 1937.
On the other hand, administra
tion supporters contend at least two
factors are In their favor:
1. Opposition sentiment in con
gress has not crystallized suffi
ciently for anti-new dealers to agree
on any one plan for amending the
AAA or on a substitute program.
2. Cotton farmers, speaking for
2.300,000 growers, overwhelmingly
endorsed the marketing control pro
gram for 1939.
