Abstract
Foreword: This is the sixth in a series of lists on "Agricultural Relief Measures Relating to the Raising of farm Prices." The first three were compiled in October 1935 for the Seventieth, Seventy-first, and Seventy-second Congresses; the fourth in February 1939 (as Agricultural Economics Bibliography No. 76) for the Seventy-fifth Congress; and the fifth in April 1940 (as Agricultural Economics Bibliography No. 84) for the Seventy-fourth Congress. Bills proposing to raise prices generally through a change in the national monetary or banking system have, for the most part, been omitted, including the Thomas Inflation Amendment which is Title III of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, 1933 (Public No. 10, Approved May 12, 1933). Exceptions have been made in the case of the following bills: H.R. 3373 (item 98); H.R. 7320 (item 100); H.R. 7475 (item 101); H.R. 7581 (item 102); and S. 3039 (item 22). The bills in this list have been classified under the major agricultural relief plans which were considered in the Seventy-third Congress. Although it is recognized that some bills might he classified under more than one plan the titles have not been repeated. An effort has been made to bring out in the index the different plans in the separate bills. In addition to bills, references to Congressional hearings have been included. The numbers following the citations to the hearings, are call numbers used in the Library of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. An author and subject index and a numerical index to the Public Acts, bills and resolutions have been appended.
