version program — the purchase of but- 

 ter and cheese when the price was 

 broken, and the distribution of the 

 butter and cheese by the relief agencies 

 in the various states. We did that, and 

 I think it did some good, again this 

 past winter. Now it seems to me that 

 that is the practical way to protect the 

 ever normal granary for dairy." 



Rep. Ciuninings, of Colorado : I want 

 to make a suggestion. I am not going 



to make a defense for the Secretary 

 because he does not need any help but 

 this bill is different from the orciinary 

 bill. This bill takes into account both 

 the consumer and the producer. 



There has been some discussion here 

 and on the floor of the House about 

 corn being imported. I noticed the 

 quotation of corn yesterday was |1.40. 

 Hogs two days ago at 12 cents. Cattle 

 on the average high but I have fed 



protection!

several hundred of them even with high 

 priced feed and made plenty on them. 



Now this bill is going to take care 

 of the consumer as well as the farmer 

 and I think we ought to give some 

 consideration tb the fact, even if we 

 should pass a : bill that would mean 

 paying these farmers a lot of money, 

 if we have got as a result the ever- 

 normal granary which is a protection 

 to the consumer it differs from any 

 legislation passed for industry. This 

 differs from any form of tariff because 

 the fellows who are protected collect 

 the tariff and just put the proceeds in 

 their pockets. The manufacturer of 

 boots, shoes or clothing, or other man- 

 ufacturers, do not share that protection 

 with the public; they pocket it, and so 

 far as I know this is the first bill since 

 I have been in Congress that has tried 

 to take care of the fellow that eats the 

 stuff and the farmer who produces it, 

 and although I may be wrong, I think 

 it is worthy of serious thought. 



Secretary Wallace: I think you have 

 made a very excellent statement, Mr. 

 Cummings, and I think that is the very 

 heart of this bill; it is a protection to 

 the consumer as well as the farmer. *** 



Mr. Coffee: I am in accord with the 

 ever-normal granary proposition but I 

 am getting over to the step where com- 

 pulsory control comes in, for instance, 

 when the quotas are established and 

 whether a man is a cooperator or a 

 non-cooperator in case he should feed 

 his hogs or cattle any corn in excess of 

 his quota he would be subject to a pen- 

 alty tax of 50 cents per bushel for the 

 corn that he fed in excess of his quota, 

 whether he was a cooperator or not. 

 That is a feature that I think will bring 

 unfavorable reaction. 



What in your judgment would be 

 the effect on the livestock producer out 

 in the West? 



Secretary Wallace: I would say this 

 bill is more important to the welfare 

 of the livestock producer and the dairy- 

 man than it is to any other single crop; 

 I would say that as a man who has 

 spent nearly 30 years of his life study- 

 ing the relationship between feed grain 

 and livestock.**** ■', . 



Secretary Wallace: Mr. Chairman, I 

 think all of us realize that we face a 

 most difficult problem if I might make 

 just one more statement with regard to 

 this parity matter. In my observation, 

 Mr. Chairman, the farm group has 

 reached the conclusion that as a group 

 it will not abandon the concept of par- 

 ity price and parity income, no matter 

 what the present situation may be. They 

 will continue to fight for it.****
