One who travels even briefly through the wheat section
of the country must be impressed with the waste of contract
ed acreage which is kept out of production through agree
ments between the farmers and the government. Here is
land that is supposed to be of average fertility laying abso

and put into operation because it seemed that there was
nothing left to do but reduce production if the farmer was
to survive. This paper supported the plan - hoping that
reduction of crops would not only increase farm prices but
would increase the percentage of the consúmete’ dollar that
went to the fanner. The first of these aims has been accom-
J plished though what is due entirely to the allotment plan is4
still unknown There is yet no improvement in the condi
tions that govern the second aim; the farmer receives a
mere third of the sum paid for his products on the retail
markets.
.
The belief is growing that the allotment plan will event
ually do as much or more harm to wheat growing sections
than it will do good. Land is not being tilled, is allowed to
become weedy or is sapped by stands of volunteer; only a
few farmers are taking care of their contracted acres as if
they were summerfallow. The fifteen percent of wheat
that is not raised is well paid for by the government, but in
many czses the farmer could produce wheat on it with al
most no additional expense over what is needed to raise 85
percent of his total
There is dissatisfaction with government regulation*
which should have been clearer at the time contracts were
signed in order to circumvent the disputes that aie sure to

The sight of hay that might have been wheat being

thousands are without sufficient food doesn’t strengthen be.
lief in present day economics. The theory that a people
can have more by producing less has not been proven - Af
ter all it is the distributors who need to increase their effici
ency, instead of the producers'decreasing theirs. As dis
tribution and processing receive two thirds of the retail val
ue of farm products attention should be directed toward
making that part of the economic set up less costly and more
efficient
Normally wheat products are among the cheapest foods
and would be eaten more universally during a depressi« n.
Instead, the price is raised so high the consumption drops
and we have to reduce supply. The government has the au
thority to enforce economical methods of distribution as
well as reduced acreage It should use that power instead
of being a party to the waste of food products, real and
potential.

Last year there was worry because so many men could
