Excerpt from Marketing Agreements Under the Aaa This is the fifth of a series of Six descriptive and'analyti cal volumes dealing with various phases of work of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. The other volumes deal with basic commodities - wheat, cotton, livestock, tobacco, and dairy products. In a sense, the field Of this book is, like the other five, delimited along commodity lines. That is, it deals primarily with' 'gen eral crops not included ln the.' 'basic classification. In a broader sense, however, the bounds of the discussion are not drawn along commodity lines but according to the method of adjustment used, namely, marketing adjust ment under agreements, licenses, and orders rather than production adjustment implemented by processing taxes and rental or benefit payments. Since 1t examines the use of the former method wherever it was undertaken and since basic commoditi'es were eligible to both methods of treatment, the book is not limited merely to general crops' 'but describes also such applications of the market ing agreement and license as were made to wheat, tobacco, dairy products, rice, and peanuts, products which either were included in the original basic group Or subsequently were, added to that classification by amendment Of the act.
