Outline plans for continued improvement in farming
Secretary of Agriculture Jardine outlined steps to boost farmer welfare noting buying power is eight percent below prewar levels. He urged cooperative marketing, long term farm mortgages, and a federal farm board while opposing price fixing and government involvement in business. States could aid via banking, tax, and public expenditure reforms. Cotton prices were strong, with lint returns projected to exceed prewar income if trends hold.
