Critique of Farm Policy and Census Findings Under Wilson Era
The piece argues the Agriculture Department misled the public with optimistic estimates and lauds Dr Hopkins for showing declines in farm yields per acre and per capita. It notes Cotton and corn outputs lagging despite larger acreage and claims census data reveal rising population and land area without proportional increases in cereal crops. It links these facts to tariff policy and cost of living, urging accountability for the Wilson administration.
