Mechanization Increases Difference .'-.Between large, Small U.S. feiiers
By OVID A. MARTIN
Associated Preu Farm Reporter
WASHINGTON 11 Rapid
mechanization of agriculture
spurred by buge war and postwar
demands is pouring luel on a
long smouldering rift between
"small" and "big" farmers.
Declining prices of farm prod
ucts are fanning the feud.
Recent hearings on farm prob
lems held by the Senate Agricul
ture Committee in major farming
areas Indicated this division may
Become a major issue along
with farm price supports in
next year's presidential campaign.
Machinery, electrification, better
seeds, improved fertilizers and the
like are making it possible to
grow more and more crops on few
er and fewer acres. Likewise, new
feeds open the way to produce
more meats, ggs and poultry with
less ieea ana laoor.
This Increased efficiency is out
ting a squeeze on the smaller farm
ers who do not have the finances
to take advantage of unmoved
mechanization or enough land to
jusuiy ineir use.
Largely because of mechaniza
tion, crop surpluses have been built
up. Prices have been deDressed.
Naturally, the less efficient produc
ers are nit naraest an dtney are,
in most cases, operators of small
er larms.
This development has given rise
to new damands that government
larm policies be designed to pro.
tecthe "family-type" farm.
Government reports show there
has been a rather sharp decline
in the total number of farmers in
the last 20 . years. It has been ac
companied by an Increase in the
average size of farms.
This situation is bringing to the
forefront demands of some farm
ers and their leaders that the na.
tion decide whether agriculture is
to De regarded as merely a busi
ness enterprise or as a social in.
stltution to preserve a rural way
oi uie.
Conflicts over these two philoso.
phies dominated many of the Sen.

riculture is solely a business en.

by President H. E. Slusher of the

anlntion practical: that there Is
no virtue In making small farm
operators any more than in mak
ing small business men; that sub
sistence farmers must be dealt
with as a welfare problem and not
b a larm problem."
Plain-spoken Daniel E. Boodry
has farmed 33 years In Goshen
County, Wyo. Agriculture "can
take care of itself If left alone,"
Boodry said he suggested that
farmers "hollering" about the sit
uation should quit the farm.
On the other hand came the
complaint of R. V. Fitzgerald Jr.,
farmer-spokesman for his neigh.
bors In Aurora uounty, s. D.
"We decry the efforts of those
who would foist upon the farmer
any farm program which will,
through economic necessity, place
the' farmer into the employ of giant
'corporation' farms or into the
cities there to compete In the la.
bor pool as an unskilled worker,"
he said.
Similarly, A, Lars Nelson, mas
ter of the Washington State
Orange, said the question that
should be uppermost in the minds
of all Is "Do we want to maintain
the American standard of living on
every type and size of farm in
the nation?"
"I think .that we do," he said.
Those who want farming consid
ered solely as a business general
ly favored the flexible price sup
port program of .the Elsenhower
administration farm program and
a minimum oi government regu
lation. But those who said they wanted
to preserve the small farms .advo
cated price supports, at either 90
per cent or 100 per cent of parity
for all farm products. Parity is
the price goal of tanri programs,
Only a part of the crops now are
supported. None of the livestock
and poultry products, or fruits and
vegetables are supported.
But most of the furmers would
limit price support aid to what
they called family-type larms.
