Review Shows Farm Programs Under Adjustment Act

Excerpts: Pledged to lift the national economic emergency by increasing agricultural purchasing power, the Agricultural Adjustment Act is proving to be a source of new hope for millions engaged in this Nation's farming industry. Less than three and one-half months since the passage of this Act, millions of dollars are flowing into the hands of the county's farmers through activities of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. In the move to readjust agriculture in accordance with the purposes of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, production adjustment programs for cotton, tobacco, wheat, hogs, and milk have already been put into effect. Programs for sugar, rice, and special crops, which are not as basic commodities in the Act, will be put into force in the near futures. Processing and marketing agreements covering the leading phases of American agriculture and the distribution of all foodstuffs, are under consideration. They are designed to correct existing evils and to bring about higher returns for products purchased from farmers.
