War to Hurt U S Farmers
Dark days for the farmer as a result of the European war were forecast by R M Evans administrator of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. He predicted only about 15 million acres would be used for export crops this year, with 28 million in 1939. He warned that next year more export trade could be lost. Canada and Argentina can cover this year's wheat export. About 50 cooperatives sent delegates to the Maryland conference. Dr F B Bomberger urged genuine agricultural cooperation and warned against propaganda and poorly run cooperatives.
