"Spmnd. we want to gjve all the ..ha nre to eet acquainted with farmers in every part ot the na. lion The committee deals with ag riculture throughout the country and it Is important that Congress man from one part ot the country- have the Rind 01 intimate mow iim of aEriculture in other areas tnat can come only from being in those areas, talking individually to farmers themselves and getting out into the fields to see personally tno conditions and prooiems 01 10 cai farming." HoDe said he believes all persons who have studied the problems agree that agricultural prices must be stabilized at levels that will at ford farmers a fair share of the national income, and that "the job before us now is to adjust the farm program to the changing times with farmers themselves tak- ine a larger part in the preparing and running of this program in the future." He said he would like for farm ers to give the committee thei. answers to questions like these: 1. Is there a way to support storable commodities at 90 per cent of the parity price without acreage allotments and marketing quotas? 2. Would a flexible price support program, ranging between 15 and 90 per cent of parity, adjust pro duction and require less controls over the operations of farmers I Or do farmers prefer rigid sui ports at 90 per cent even if a low er level would mean less controls? 3. Or would producers of such storable commodities as wheat and cotton prefer to try a two-price system that would avoid restriction on production? Under such a sys tem that part of the crop consumed in this country would get support prices based on parity and the ex ported part would go at the low er world prices. 4. Of the perishable farm com modities, only dairy products now are subject to mandate! y price supports. In view of the difficulties of stabilizing supplies of perish able products such as fruits, vege tables and animal producli, should the government attempt any other price stabilization program In this field? How can the program for the dairy industry be improved? 6. What are the cattlemen's ideas for long - range stabilization of prices for the livestock industry? 6. A large factor in the decline of farm prices has been the falling off of export of wheat, cotton, to bacco and other products. Major adjustments must be made in the production of several Important crops unless export marke'ts are expanded. What changes, if any, should be made in our foreign Uadeorograms? 7. CBBgress is Intensely intei ested in soil conservation and flood prevention. The need for bet ter integration of all soil and wa ter conservation activities is gener ally recognized. What is the best approach to this problem? What part should government payments for conservation practices play' Would government-Insured loans by banks and otuer private lending agencies, at reasonable Interest and tunning up to 10 years, bpeed up conservation work? 8. What do farmers think of fed eral all-risk crop insurance, now operating on an experimental ba sis in about 1,000 counties? Are they willing to pay for this insur ance and do they want tills pro gram expanded? 9. Do farmers have adequa'.e sources of credit, on satisfactory terms? 10. Should we encourage more research to find new uses tor farm products? How much would ex panded marketing research help la bringing about better pilces?
