Powers to Help Farmers Not Used
Washington reports a pause in expanding farm relief powers as prices rise. Governor statistics credit inflation for higher farm purchasing power, with wool up 75 percent to near prewar levels. Major acts include the farm adjustment act, the mortgage refinancing law, and consolidation of federal agricultural credit agencies. Secretary Wallace favors acreage cuts in wheat cotton and corn and livestock reductions, but production curbs seem unlikely while prices rise. Creditors hold few hopes for land value gains, delaying mortgage actions.
