Powers to Help Farmers Not Used
Washington reports a temporary pause in deploying new farm relief powers as prices rise. Government statistics credit inflation with lifting purchasing power, wool up 75 percent toward prewar levels, and major acts like the farm adjustment act and mortgage refinancing law shape policy. Secretary Wallace urges acreage cuts for wheat cotton and corn, while livestock output should be trimmed, yet production curtailment is unlikely during price increases. Creditors delay mortgage actions amid renewed hope for higher land values.
