“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else.

—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The greatest part of our faults are more excusable than the methods that are commonly taken to conceal them.”
