      abstract = {Conclusion:  In view of the facts and analysis just  presented the Department of Agriculture urges that freight  rates on all agricultural products and foods, including  livestock and livestock products, and including processed  foods as well as unprocessed food products, be so adjusted  that they are no higher than the rates which existed at the  beginning of 1942.  It repeats that it believes this will  provide the railroads with more than sufficient income to  cover costs and will provide net revenues which compare  very favorably with those of recent years.  It will help  very substantially the efforts of the farmer and the  Government to produce the foods we need to win the war and  still help materially to protect consumers against rising  costs of living.},
