Laws That Hit the Farmer Twice
The Department of Agriculture report shows the farmers share of the consumer dollar has not exceeded 50 percent since 1920, rising to 44 percent in 1936 from 33 percent in 1932. Four causes for year to year change are wage shifts, processor and dealer profits, marketing efficiency, and service/processing amounts. Laws and taxes that coddle middlemen raise prices to farmers while lowering sale returns, harming both producer and consumer. The piece also includes a verse about a buckskin horse and rural life.

Congress Closes Session With Record Spending and Rift
The 75th Congress closed amid bitter infighting and strong majorities after approving 9.4 billion in appropriations and major measures including RFC continuation, CCC extension, marketing authority renewal, and pension for railroad workers. It failed to enact key White House priorities such as a larger Supreme Court, TVA regional authorities, aggressive housing, and a strict wage bill. The Black Supreme Court nomination passed amid a historically divided Senate, signaling a largely anti New Deal tilt.
