Farm problem to be up again in Congress
Washington Oct 13 The farm problem returns to Congress next winter bigger and noisier than before. The board’s stabilization plan has faltered and critics say wheat and cotton are political. Debates will range from abolition to a $2 billion boost for a real test of the board. The board will buy no more wheat or cotton and seeks markets for surplus. The revolving fund is exhausted and further relief will face strong resistance with election pressures.
