This analysis will form the'basis for determining the most desirable contribution which Can be made by national agencies now active in the county ofr is hoped 'that this procedure may result in a ''unified progrSm" of all public agricultural actfftties regardless of the level or government responsible for their administration, thus eliminating, needless duplication, and wasteful conflicting programs. Thus the. work of the County Agricultural Planning Committee sponsored by the Farm Bureau will be of particular interest to the AAA, and the Farm Security Administration whose local administrators are on the committee. The work and recommendations are also likely to be of interest in agricultural welfare. Recommendations of county committees which can not be put into effect through local agencies will form the basis for the work of the state committee on agricultural programs.
