PHILADELPHIA, May 6 171
Secretary of Agriculture Anderaon
aald Wedneaday that farm price
probably will decline a third In the
next few yeara even under favor
able conditions.
He aald they itill would be at a
fair level after uc:h a decline.
If conditions are unfavorable, he
aald, farmers might experience at
worat a repetition of 1620-21 when
farm prices dropped 60 per cent In
12 months.
"However, we do not need to go
through the wringer again." the
cabinet officer said. "We must
maintain both domestic and for
eign policies that will prevent It."
Anderson gave his price prospect
views in a talk prepared for de
livery at the University of Penn
sylvania. He said three things are needed
to prevent another farm depres
sion. World economic recovery, domes
tic farm programs, and an active
domestic Industry maintaining a
high level of food consumption.
Anderson said there already are
some unfavorable signs In agricul
ture. He listed them as an upward
trend in farm debts, threats of
surpluses in the present high level
of production, a recent downward
trend in buying power of farm
products, and an abnormal pattern
of production based on wartime
demands.
