kept within budgetary limits unless congress was prepared to impose new taxes the new national farm act should safeguard farmers income as well as their soil fertility the president wrote it should provide tor for storage of reserve food supplies in an ever normal granary so that if severe and widespread drouth recurs consumers will be assured of more adequate supplies with less drastic increases in price than otherwise would be the case it should provide for control of surpluses when and il if necessary but at the same time it should preserve the export markets that still are open
