surpluses but its wi a matter ot of better marketing and distribution rather than having too 40 much to meet the needs of ot the world it Is also true that many fann farm ers have shifted from non sup port crops to commodities on which government parities are pai paid dand and have thus created the present crisel however in long run controls are not answer but a more realistic flexible support program cooperation and planning farmers at large at the roots level will produce and still Insure a fair price the large segment of who obtain their from froin agrico agricultural tural pur pursuits
