Farmers Face Long Battle Over Farm Relief Plan
Sparta August 31 Farmers must prepare for a long fight to secure sectional relief from the farm board unless they elect congressmen who back the equalization fee or debenture plan. Rep Henry T. Rainey says only the equalization fee would match tariff effects on farm products. He adds consumers pay world prices for food while sectional prices on manufactured goods keep farmers from tariff benefits. Rainey expects farmers will be disappointed in the farm marketing bill and urges fighting the tariff on manufactured goods to lower farm living costs.
