BILLIONS NEEDED FOR REPiSi PlANE FALls I F1VE KILLE0
'Eight Billion To Ten Billion Dollars
Of New Capital Noeded, Ac-
cording To Experts : i
' Washington.—American agriculture,
Which has been turning out a capacity
[product with its physical equipment
in a run-down condition, must within
[the next ten years save up and re
invest in the farm plant from eight
billion to ten billion dollars <ot new
capital, according to economists of
the department of agriculture, who
say this is a conservative estimate.
"For three years farmers have pa
tiently patched, mended, repaired and
used makeshifts," an oflfcial report
says. "Sometimes in the coming dec
ade the farm must have about the
same replenishment and renewal of
[productive plant that the railroads
are now going through. Before 1983
three-fourths of the farm buildings
Will require new roofs and new paint.
^ Probably a half-million new houses,
barns and auxiliary buildings will
have to be built. Half the present
mileage of fencing will have to be
replaced and much new fence put up.
Millions of new tile must be laid.
The haying and harvest machinery
will have to be replaced almost en
tirely; tillage machinery in large
part; wagons, harnesses, etc., in
part.
"Millions of new automobiles, trac
tors and trucks must be bought. Mil
lions of tons of new piping, wiring,
\>arn equipment and Bmall tools; mil
lions of new gas engines and station
ary power appliances; millions of feet
pf lumber and tons of cement muBt
all be bought. Millions of tons of fer
tilizer and lime must be poured into
the soil of the East and South to re
store pre-war fertility. The country’s
Work horses are old and before 1933
almost a new crop must be raised.
"The men who control groat capital
resources must realize agriculture’s
foal and unusual need for new capital;
pnd they must realize that farming
in this country is still a basic industry
*r*un industrty with a future that will
pay ample roturns on every dollar
wisely invested. One of the rural
community’s very serious problems
during the next five or ten years
will be debt."
