"Editorial By TOM LINDER







: In July of last year, I saat a trip
through the major part of the corn belt
as far West as the black hills of South
Dakota.

On the rich corn lands of the Mis-
sissippi River and Great Lakes Delta
area and through the Dakotas, Iowa
nd other corn sections, most of the
corn was about shoetop high. At that
time, I wrote an article in the Bulletin
ling attention to this and
hat an early frost would mean a very
short crop of hard corn.

The early frost came, the crop of
ard corn was yery short.

as the Market Bulletin of July 18,
945
FOOD. Recently I have had a num-















nt the great truths: contained in it,
d I am reproducing it herewith.

The following article is a. reprint
from the Market Bulletin oe July 18,

committee from the Senate made ex-
tensive investigation of the food situa-
tion. Both the House and Senate com-
Mittees severely eriticized the way in
uch O. P. A. had handled the pricing
of farm crops.



Yew Mexico, was. chairman of the
louse committee and he was appoint-
by President Truman to the office
of Secretary of Agriculture in the place
Mr. Claude Wickard.

The House of Representatives very
roperly enacted legislation that would
lave placed full authority and respon-
ibility for farm prices and food prices
in the hands of Mr. Anderson.

The Senate promptly blocked this





in which to intensify the food shortage
in this country.

Rationing the scarce food is neces-
sary, but it can always be borne in
ind that rationing does not increase
production. It simply divides what
00d there is. It does not create any
more food. It should also be borne in
nind at all times that O. P. A. prices

tends to help the ae eon
No matter how fairly done, the
holding down of farm prices does not

ereases production.

In the final analysis, it will come. to
the point where Congress must decide
whether it would rather have food
without control or whether it would
rather have control without food.

During the last two or three years,
this country has been wonderfully
blessed by a bountiful providence that
has given us reasonable crops under
most unfavorable working conditions
on the farms.

This year is one of those off years
with short crops that needs must come.
We have no assurance that next year
or the year after that will be any bet-

I have before me a letter from Mr.
J. L. Anderson. Mr. Anderson was
reared in Hawkinsville, Georgia. He

ing Company, of East St. Louis, Tlin-
ols. |
In order that you may be fully in-

Andersons letter, I am reproducing it
cn this page of this issue of the Bulle-
tin

You will ote from Mr. Andersons
letter that Government corn is being
shipped by barge for export to other
countries.

No reasonable person would crit-
icize the Government for trying to pre-
vent starvation of millions of people
It is, however, a
serious problem for our people at home
when we realize that the present meat
and lard shortage will become more
acute in almost the same ratio that our ~
supply. of corn is decreased.

As to this years corn crop, you
will note from Mr. Andersons letter
that only forty to fifty percent of the
eorn had been planted in Missouri and
Kansas as of May 18th. This means
that in the heart of the corn belt there
eannot be more than one half of a crop
this year.

This also means that the Southeast-
ern states must depend upon their
own 1945 corn crop to get us through
1946.

Insofar as Georgia is concerned, the
corn crop this year will be very short.
Honorable Clinton Anderson, Secretary
of Agriculture, had a splendid state-
ment a few days ago which was carried
in the Atlanta papers. I sent Mr. An-

On belialt of ourselves and all oth

wrote to Mr. Burger on the subject
of molasses for feed.

We have been greatly ee
in providing our distributors with mo

In recnt weeks, so many shortag

today in a more critical situation thai
has confronted the country any tim
since the war begun. It is virtualh
impossible to buy corn. The packers are
not killing enough livestock to produ
sufficient meat scraps and tankage
fill their booking. On account of th
erave shortage of animal protein
heavy inroads are being mnde on th
vegetable proteins. It is now almos
impossible to locate even an occasiona

You are 100% correct when you
stated in your letter to Mr. Burger
that our food shortage is largely a
result of feed shortage.

corn, hoping something could be done
to relieve the present acute situation.
However, in a letter from Mr. Burger
he states that the War Food Admin
istration does not control any stock
of corn which could be released imme
diately to the feed trade; that the Com-
modity Credit Corp., purchased ap-
preximately 21,000: 000 bushels of corn
but the corn is stored on farms and
most of it has not been shelled, there-
fore, is in the same position. as other
stocks on farms. He also stated that
the War Food Administration has lim-,
ited the amount of corn which can be
used by distillers for all purposes dur
ing the third quarter to 50% of their
total grain use, including malt. a

In checking with our St. Louis
elevator, we find Government corn is
stored and is being shipped out by
barge to New Orleans for export to
other countries. The most citer

papers that failure of Government

agencies to protect farmers in prices
oh erops grown in response to Goy-
ernment request is eminently correct.
This is the heart of the problem. Your
proposal that Government Agencies
_ protect farmers on all crops produced
as part of the war effort is not only
eorrect, but it is imperative if the coun-
try is to have food.

The Office of Price Administra-
tion has lowered the ceiling on beans
in Atlanta seventy cents per hamper.
This, in the face of a great shortage of
beans. Such actions as this of O. P.
A. will, if continued, reduce food sup-
plies in the future.
