Sarlin of New York. “The end of our period of e- mergency adjustment, of drastic re duction in the farm output, is com ing into view’’, says Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, pointing out that the basic prin ciple of the Agricultural Adjust ment Act is “Production adjust ment, which does not mean reduc- nfe the production of everything but producing different commodi ties in the proper amounts and proportions.’’ “Sometimes”, he continues, “we need reduction, sometimes expan sion. As markets improve, farm ers must be ready to increase their output. In doing so, however, they must keep step with the growth of demand and not run ahead of it. They must be on guard- against piling up new sur pluses.”. Strong in his belief in a “bal anced abundance”,* Secretary Wal lace says that the problem is to re tain faiir and reasonable profits without falling into the pit of “scarcity economics.” “While farm prices might be further raised by restricting do mestic consumption along the lines of 'scarcity economics’, it is doubtful if this would appreciably raise farm income. One of the major elements in the restoration of agricultural parity is an in crease in the purchasing power of the.industrial population. A sec ond major element is a reduction in the prices of industrial prod ucts that have advanced too far. When the industrial production and pay rolls are increased, the industrial population is in a posi tion to buy more food at parity prices. When industrial prices are lowered, the farmer is in a position to buy more industrial goods with his money income. Thus, higher farm income and a higher stand ard of food consumption for the in dustrial population both turn on the v employment and purhasing pcp*r of the industrial population. “The farmer’s great need, now, as he continues bU efforts to pro duce a balanced output, is that rf getting full employment to the in- that consumers may be able to 'pay fair for higher consumption, as it was to meet the curtailed foreign markets and the itaiphaTeiisis Of 1933, reduction in output is only a very partial and paradoxical artswer in the long run tp.the-eryfa>g )%etd vtiiich is briefly expressed ih the phrase ‘balanced itbtttidahce’.” —txx Farming hits Gird Thanks D.

In fact, there is * chance to egress individuality to a stew while an food, to be right, is always the same. One famous chef once said that all stews should be good, but no two alike. According to Inez 8. Willson, home economist, this is true, for there aye as many differ ent kinds of stews as there are peo ple who make them. There are brown stews, light stews, stews with vegetables, stews with dumplings, oven stews, and so on ad infinitum. The combination of vegetables and the different seasonings make a large part of the variety. The following recipes for stews make use of itonsual seasonings: Spiced Stew 2 pounds beef chuck, <• cut pieces, Flour for dredging. Lard for browning, -3 onions-, 1-2 cup vinegar, 4. tablespoons sugar, 1-2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 bay-leaf, Salt, Pepper. Cut the meat into cubes, dredge with flour, and brown in hot lard Slice the onions over it, and add enough water to nearly cover. Tc this add the seasonings after nix ing the cinnamon and sugar with the vinegar, cover and bring slowly to the boiling point and then le' iimmer until the meat is tender ibout two hours. Lamb Stew With Vegetables 2 pounds lamb shoulder, Flour for dredging, Lard for browning, 3 or 4 carrots, 2 cups green or wax beans, 2 fresh tomatoes, or 1 cup canned tomatoes, 1 clove garlic, Salt and pepper. Have lamb shoulder cut into pieces for stew. Dredge with flour and brown in hot lard. Add 1 cup boiling water and let simmer for one hour. Then add carrots cut in quarters lengthwise, green or wax beans and tomatoes. Add more water if necessary. Cover and let Mann, McCormick; Mrs. B.
