What does the Hoover administra tion really think of the final results of the fann board’s efforts »t stabilizing the price of wheat, cbttCn and other agricultural products? Arthur M Hyde, secretary’ of ^agriculture, answers this question in an article published in The GounriJ’ Home, national farm publication with 1,500,00 rural readers. Secretary Hyde’s article covers the entire field of the administration’s agricultural policy, recognizing that this will rank among the two or three major issues of the next national campaign. The administration stand, in essence, is that of championing the farmer, “not alone on the safe and comfortable side of reduced cost of production, but also on the tempestuous side of price.” Secretary Hyde asserts that “this is the first administiation to have done this—getting agriculture recognized as a partner, not a servant, in the house of civilization.” The administration, he says, "has turned from sentimental double standards of progress, has sought to stop over-production rather than to doctor merely the symptoms of the trouble, and has moved to organize American agriculture powerfully so that it can meet the economic problems on econmnic grounds.” The aim of the administration’s farm board activities is stated as “not to put the government in business, but to put the farmer in business, to set up great cooperative institutions which shall serve agriculture in the

Reserve Board for finance. Here is Secretary Hyde’s defense of the Farm Board’s stabilization eff °?if the stabilization venture was a mistake, it was a magnificent mist a e from the standpoint of agmuiture. And the error was as to fundamental economic facts upon which every other financial and commercial concern in the United States was equally in error. Now that the price of wheat at least seems on the.upgrade it is safe, I think, to raise this question: Where, do you think, would the price have gone" to if the 200000 000 bushels of farm board wheat had been in hundreds or thousands of different | hands, weak hands, under panic conditiuns? How many more banks and financial houses, do you think, would j have been swept under. ••The far reaching extent to which I agricultural influences make or j break city businesses is as yet little realized. Without agriculture, iven New York, which does not know it, would be little more than a whistling post. In time it will be more fully understood that in stabilizing the wheat and cotton markets at a time when all human institutions seemed to be failing, the farm board served not only agriculture, but did more for American industry than American industry has ever done for the farmer. “Stabilization was a maneuver which was justified by the extreme emergency. No one realizes better than the board members that there can be no permanent stabilization of agricultural prices without an agricultural production controlled at (he

source.

‘Organization to that end it proceeding steadily. !he cooperative marketing of grain has been trebled, the cooperative marketing of cotton has been doubled and the cooperative marketing of wool and mohair has been increased fi\e-fold since the farm board went to work. I • nH that progress.” ° Secretary Hyde uses Henry Ford as a definite target for a general at tick on "the curiously- short-sighted double standard” with which business confronts the agricultural problem: „ “Henry F ord, whose name is second to none in America, has advised American farmers that restricted pioou.tion is wrong. At the very ino nient when lie made this statement his own plant was operating at 75

per cent capacity.

“I say this not to find fault

Mr. Ford, but simply to illustrate another outgrowth of that curiously -liort sighted doable standard to

tiohs Mr. Ford’s right, in producing for the market, to reduce his productio i to within the limits of profitable demand, or bis wisdom in doing so.

We compliment his sagacity and hi ability in maintaining a reduced pro

duction until hi a market picks up

’again.

“Vet when the farmers of America, taking count, find themselves" paying taxes on MO,000,000 acres of land at a time when 360,000,000 acres of this land are producing more than enough

In this day of overproduction it i- ™ seriously argued, not only by many 1 industrialists but by some hard boiled I economists, that it is tiic duty of the farme, to express himself in terms pf the largest production possible. It is also argued, « jth a certain appeal t" the past, that he who makes two blades i grass groin where one grew before is a public benefactor. Thus is emphasis subtly shifted from the sordid question of farm prices and

farm profits.

Agun the emphasis is shifted, and
