He. contend* if prices had not risen and especially |£-crops had been poor or had failed in the .later war years, the food supply for any one' year would.have b ow consumed long before the following'harvest. * From all this ope can see easily, what an impossible task it is to try to do away with the automatic price system and try and'substitute for it Artificialregulation^ p f supply and demand. - In this complex situation the farm­ er finds he should npt be singled out as the goat in the dp called drive to halt inflation. .The public has bepn led* to believe that jthe' farmer was a profiter and racketeer- It has been left to believe there were vast quan­ tities o f feed. ’* ■ When produce ceifings have been proved too low, the government pro­ poses subsidies. But/the farmer does not want subsidies and band-outs with all the restrictions and controls that go with them.For, one reason, he j resents subsidies because consumers believe the food subsidies are raids Amuial'Schoo!

They make-it' possible for the con­ sumer to bu a product below the fair price it snould command. In an -all-over program we should inelude these points: First. Give the farmer prices that will encourage him. to produce, with the knowledge that under present conditions he cannot produce too much. Second. Recognize that food is as important to ,.wianj&g iha war as guns and munitions, planes and ships. Protect our armed forces, our allies and our home consumers by protect­ ing their food production..
