00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.940
Under the agricultural administration, nearly six and a half million brood sows and baby

2
00:00:16.940 --> 00:00:20.960
pigs were purchased for slaughter by the government, and pork prices jumped.

3
00:00:21.460 --> 00:00:25.800
Over eight million cattle were bought for slaughter, and beef and leather prices went

4
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:26.180
up.

5
00:00:26.180 --> 00:00:30.700
About seven and one half million acres of wheat land were withdrawn from production,

6
00:00:31.220 --> 00:00:37.280
and we had to import wheat, destroying crops, killing meat animals, driving up prices.

7
00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:40.000
And here's what happened to your market basket.

8
00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:43.160
You got this much for your dollar in 1933.

9
00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:45.380
You get this much now.

10
00:00:46.460 --> 00:00:50.280
Every one of us is today paying the bill for economic follies.

11
00:00:50.720 --> 00:00:54.800
It's hard enough to win the bounties of nature from the soil without destroying them.

12
00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:01.380
We must seek not scarcity, but plenty for every man, woman, and child in these United

13
00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:01.940
States.
