The survey was conducted with the idea of learning what the de partment could do to help the small farmer who is having difficulties because of inadequate land, machinery, livestock and know how. Thousands of meetings have been held in the home towns across the nation discussing crop control, price support, farm loans and other small farm problems. As a result, a major question has developed: should the government buy up land, redivide it into "economic" or 'efficient" units, and resell it to farmers? Also, should present crop controls be extended? Brannan believes that if productivity of substandard farms can be low-inco- increased many agriculture problems would tend to disappear. On the other hand, many farm leaders have remained aloof and have not taken part in the meetings, criticizing Brannans methods more than his objectives. Two possible legislative proposals may come from the survey: (1) A technical assistance program for the less efficient farms and farmers, and (2) a farm-loa- n program designed to help such farmers acquire land, machinery, equipment, livestock and the know how to operate efficient farms. Whatever the final form, any new farm plan, whether it the government buying and redivision of land or not, is boundincorporates to become a major campaign issue. Much of the opposition will come from the farm bureaus who have long resented Brannan as trying to usurp the roles of the private farm organizations and regimenting agriculture. STUDIES CREDIT PROBLEM O Small manufacturers in small towns are still having trouble getting defense contracts and RFC has now taken hand to see if some method can be worked out to establish credit. Procurement officers, many of them, will not give small concerns contracts because they cannot demonstrate financial responsibility, and banks will not make loans until they see contracts as collateral. O Sales and continued brisk business has decreased retail inventories throughout country by about $300,000,000 in August as com- pared to previous month with total retail inventories as of Sept. 1 valued at $17.500,000.000.
