Abstract: In the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act of 1937, Congress authorized the Secretary of Agriculture to develop a program of land conservation and land utilization. Work on this program, including the purchase of land classed as submarginal for crop cultivation, has now been started with an appropriation of $10,000,000 made for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1938. Administration of the land-use program has been delegated by Secretary Wallace to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
