I do not know of any force. legislative or educational. that could bring about a situation that would further reduce acreage in basic agricultural products or keep it there in times when prices were above the point of cost of production. It might be argued that you could reduce the costs of production to the farmer and thereby give him relief. You can not do that as long as you have tariff protection on manufactured goods. You can not do it as long as you have protection of labor by immigration laws. You can not do it so long as you :protect the bondholders and security holders of railroads and make their holdings attractive investments. . Some miht say it could be done through lessening the costs of distribution.
