The House Postwar Economy
Policy and Planning Committee
has recommended a program to
achieve a “prosperous and pro-
gressive agriculture,” with the
following long-range objectives:
(a) Flexibility of agricultural
prices controlled largely by sup-
ply and demand to replace the
pre-war system, which was based
on marketing quotas, acreage re-
strictions, and parity prices.
(b) The establishment of pro-
grams and facilities to assist farm-
ers in,making shifts to more pro-
ductive activity on the same
farms, on better farms, or on non-
farm employment.
(c) A high level of income and
employment throughout the na-
tion, in order that an increased
demand -for farm products may
be maintained and jobs will be
available for those persons, who
move into non-agricultural occu-
pations.
(d) The development of a broad
program enabling farmers to util-
ize more modern techniques of
farming.
(e) Improved rural education.
Other recommendations of the
Committee include: encourage-
ment of cooperatives; expansion
of world trade; expansion of crop
insurance, development of a stor-
age program for non-perishable
products; establishment of a price
system, which would provide pro-
tective price floors under mar-
kets during each productive per-
iod; a system for cushioning de

What adequate wiring means
*.
Adequate wiring simp'.y means a service entrance large enough
to bring in as much electricity as your home may need at any
time .. enough branch circuits of large enough wire to conduct
a full measure of electrical energy to all of your lights and
appliances .. and' plenty ot outlets and switches, conveniently
located. Ut-fore you build, buy or remodel, discuss adequate
wiring thoroughly with your electrical contractor. It's the key to
belter electrical living.
