I do not say that the Department of Agriculture could help in that situation. but I think Congress could. I think we could pass a law which would help the situation materially. In other words. there are thousands of acres adapted to produce sugar beets. and the farmers are ready to produce them. But they are denied the privilege of doing so on their own property because of the quota system. They are denied that privilege because we are going to take so much sugar here and there from foreign countries. which seems to me to be absolutely unjust. illogical. and contrary to the best human instincts.
