    • Abstract:
      The article presents information related to "farm problems," in the U.S. It is hard for highly urbanized society to understand the underlying causes of the "farm problem" or why, after nearly four decades of argument and expenditure of many billions of dollars, it has not been solved. In the first place, this is not primarily a party issue, party differences here tend to be matters of degree or direction rather than of basic concept. Even in the 1920's, the Congressional approaches to the farm problem were surprisingly nonpartisan. The depression of the 1930's brought fairly general agreement that something drastic had to be done to help the farmer.
