Benson’s budget message prompts blunt farming questions
In this editorial the Benson letter arrives amid a surge of interest in budget economies. It points to 11.7 billion in net losses on farm programs since 1932 and notes the unresolved problem. The piece ties the timing to recent corn subsidy battles that divided corn and cotton farmers, suggesting the farm bloc, shaken by internal feuding, might be more receptive to factual arguments now. Benson offers no ready answers yet, but raises pointed questions.

Benson Urges Market Solution to Farm Surplus Crisis
Reprinted from Baltimore Sunday Sun, the piece portrays Secretary Benson as the prudent, nonpolitical head of Agriculture facing the era’s price-support crisis. It notes that past government controls aimed at curbing surplus proved unworkable, with Benson deferring a fixed prescription and favoring open market price signals over rigid cuts.
