HELD BEST EVER NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 14. (AP) Edward A. O'Neal, president ol the American Farm Bureau Federation, salrt in his annual address today that the agricultural adjustment act of 1938, "coupled with the soil conserva tion act, the marketing agreements act and allied legislation, gives us the best all-around farm program we have ever had." "Severe criticism has ben directed at the farm program, principally on the ground that cotton and wheat prices are distressingly low," O'Neal said. "Such criticism Is unfair, because everybody knows that the law was passed too late for wheat growers to comply on their 1938 crop, and every body knows too that the cotton sur pVis that holds the price down was not produced In 1938 It was pro duced In 1937, when there was no control program in force."
