...good. Last month Secretary of Agriculture Wickard announced that his policy would be based on the assumption that it is closed for good (TIME, Jan. 27). He would not only boost the domestic market, as the Council is trying to do, but reduce cotton acreage and divert the South's land and energies to other crops. Last week the 215 Council delegates listened to hear whether their two biggest members agreed with the New Deal. For different reasons, they...
