Conservation on its merits may be common sense,
but conservation as a pretext for scarcity is plain suicide,
observes The Commentator (November issue), citing Sec-
retary Wallace’s proposal that the area under profitable
cultivation in the United States be reduced by fifteen to
thirty million acres — that is, 23,000 to 46,000 square
miles.
Whatever is scientific for any industry shoulil be ap-
plied to that industry, and agriculture is no exception.
Anything that brings agriculture up to date as
forcstation, anil the rotation of crops, for instance — de-
serves support.
The question is whether conservation is camouflage
for limiting supply.
Traditionally, the simplest and most, abundant food
_ Jn the United States was bread and cheese. Today cheese
a luxury.
People who could afford other meat only once a
week formerly ha'I a rasher of bacon for breakfast. To-
day'! lie price makes bacon unobtainable bv wage earners,
except as a s|K‘cial dish.
How does this prohibitive scarcity hcln the farmer?
