This volume is part of a series focusing on the Agricultural Adjustment Administration's work, specifically addressing marketing agreements. It primarily examines general crops that fall outside the basic commodity classifications, such as wheat, cotton, livestock, tobacco, and dairy products. The discussion is organized not by commodity but by the adjustment method employed—marketing adjustments through agreements, licenses, and orders, rather than production adjustments via processing taxes and payments. The text explores the application of marketing agreements and licenses across various products, including those originally classified as basic commodities and others added later, like rice and peanuts. This analysis highlights the flexibility of the marketing adjustment approach in addressing both general crops and specific basic commodities. The publisher, Forgotten Books, specializes in reproducing rare and classic texts, utilizing advanced technology to preserve the original format while correcting most imperfections found in aged copies. Any remaining flaws are intentionally retained to maintain the historical integrity of the work.
