Seventyfirst Congress. under the title "Al act to establish a Federal Farm Board to promote the effective merchandising of agricultural commodities in interstate and foreign commerce. and to place agriculture on a basis of economic equality with other industries." The act establishes a Federal Farm Board to aid in the orderly marketing and in the control and disposition of the surplus of agricultural conmmodities in interstate and foreign commerce. The act is similar in principle to the McNaryHaugen farm relief bill passed in the House three times and Senate twice. and the aim of the bill is to enable the farmrer to market his comnmdities in his own way. at an American price level. To relieve the depressed condition in agriculture. to do for the farmers what was done for others by the enactment of the Federal reserve act. the railroad act. the Adamson law. the restricted immigration act. and the nany acts extending aid. assstance. and relief to numerous other activities. to afford tile farmer the advantages of the American price level. in other words. to give the* farmers the benefit of our protective laws and opportunities extended to others. In short. a fair and square deal to all. nothing more. nothing less. Although the act does not set up a specific plan. as set up in the first three bills. it specifically directs that " advantageous domestic markets shall be maintained. and to prevent surpluses from causing undue and excessive fluctuations or depressions in the price of the commodity. and prevent speculation and waste." and leaves it with the board to work out its own plan to accomplish the desired results.
