The Farm Bureau _ leader, Tribute to the New Deal: Never before have so many done so little for so much. also warned that in fact, that these two extremés in the farming industry have produced the major share of agricultural problems. In this regard, Mr. Wiser commented: “The first type of farm which be-. came an economic burden was the small family farm which lacked a suitable economic basis. “The second type of farm which . ‘became an economic burden was the . large crop farm, because it was. often necessary to subsidize it, by allowing it to liquidate. _ “Sixty to sixty five per cent of: farms lie between these two groups! and are sound economic endeavors. “Three per cent of farms that have over 1,000 ‘acres, plus the 17 per cent of small farms, are the only, farms we read about in the press, so! it is only 20 per cent of the farm population that creates the so-call-. i ed major farm problems.”’ Production control has borne more. heavily on the family farm than onj the large farm operation, Mr. Wiser declared. Compulsory organization of farm-' ers, he also emphasized, is “detri-, mental to the average family sized, farm, for organization may carry oui . projects which are for the’ benefit! of the community, but if we try to, we . put a premium on inefficiency and’ so cut down the competitive element_. ——the greatest stimulus to production.”’ . “The forced organization of farm employees,’’ Mr. ‘Wiser continued,. “also acts against the success of the family farm.

The Farm Bureau _ leader, Tribute to the New Deal: Never before have so many done so little for so much. also warned that in fact, that these two extremés in the farming industry have produced the major share of agricultural problems. In this regard, Mr. Wiser commented: “The first type of farm which be-. came an economic burden was the small family farm which lacked a suitable economic basis. “The second type of farm which . ‘became an economic burden was the . large crop farm, because it was. often necessary to subsidize it, by allowing it to liquidate. _ “Sixty to sixty five per cent of: farms lie between these two groups! and are sound economic endeavors. “Three per cent of farms that have over 1,000 ‘acres, plus the 17 per cent of small farms, are the only, farms we read about in the press, so! it is only 20 per cent of the farm population that creates the so-call-. i ed major farm problems.”’ Production control has borne more. heavily on the family farm than onj the large farm operation, Mr. Wiser declared. Compulsory organization of farm-' ers, he also emphasized, is “detri-, mental to the average family sized, farm, for organization may carry oui . projects which are for the’ benefit! of the community, but if we try to, we . put a premium on inefficiency and’ so cut down the competitive element_. ——the greatest stimulus to production.”’ . “The forced organization of farm employees,’’ Mr. ‘Wiser continued,. “also acts against the success of the family farm.
