Food prices likely higher next year says Wallace
Secretary Wallace warned food prices will be materially higher in 1935 due to the drought cutting production of 32 principal crops about 22 percent below the 13 year average. He cited the need to curb profiteering and suggested possible crop control in 1935 with potential resume of controls in 1936. Wheat yields improved slightly while oats fell sharply.
