Full Speed Farm Relief Sought by Agriculture Chief
New York A top Eisen hower administration farm official said today it is more important to save farmers from ruinously low prices than to carry out campaign promises to reduce the government s role in agriculture. President John H Davis of the Agriculture Department s 6 750 000 000 Commodity Credit Corporation CCC said farmers are in a crisis because of surpluses, declining markets and falling incomes. Davis said there is no doubt that if present price support programs were in effect, agriculture would be in a low in spirits condition similar to that of the thirties. The CCC president blamed the previous Democratic administration and urged rigid production restrictions next year and possibly the year after.
