GENERAL FARM PROGRAM 319 



In other words, the support program determines, in the final analysisj 

 the hourly wage for the farmer's labor. 



I say that for the reason that I have here a study that has been 

 made by Dr. Wylie Goodsell of BAE. I would judge from that table 

 that the wages, according to j^our proposals, probably average some- 

 where around what they did in 1943 or 1944. I do not know if you 

 recall Dr. Goosdell's studies or not. That works out on an hourly 

 basis which after all is the wages he is going to get through this program. 



That is another plus so far as you are concerned. 



Mr. Granger, Will you yield a minute? 



Mr. Murray. Yes, 



Mr. Granger. In arriving at the farm income did you base that 

 figure on any wage that would be comparable to that? 



Secretary Brannan. No, Air. Granger; we did not. The farm in 

 come which we use as the basis of our calculation is the actual cash 

 receipts of farmers from marketings during those periods of years. 



Mr. Granger. That is all. 



Mr. Murray. May I ask, Mr. Chairman, if I may put this table 

 in the record at this point? It has something to do with the objective 

 liere because of the years that he has used. That would have some 

 relationship to what has happened in the past. 



The Chairman. Without objection it wiU be so ordered. 



(The table referred to is as foUows:)
