(5)(A) Reestablishment, at as rapid a rate as the United States Secretary of Agriculture determines to be practicable and in the general public interest of the ratio between the purchasing power of the net income per person on farms and that of the income per person not on farms that prevailed during the five-year period August 1909--July 1914, inclusive, as determined from statistics available in the United States Department of Agriculture, and the maintenance of such a ratio.

(B) The powers conferred under §§ 7-14, inclusive, of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, 16 U.S.C. §§ 590g-590n, shall be used to assist voluntary action calculated to effectuate the purposes specified in this section. Such powers shall not be used to discourage the production of supplies of foods and fibers sufficient to maintain normal domestic human consumption as determined by the United States Secretary of Agriculture from the records of domestic human consumption in the years 1920-1929, inclusive, taking into consideration increased population, quantities of any commodity that were forced into domestic consumption by decline in exports during such a period, current trends in domestic consumption and exports of particular commodities, and the quantities of substitutes available for domestic consumption within any general class of food commodities.

(C) In carrying out the purposes of this section, due regard shall be given to the maintenance of a continuous and stable supply of agricultural commodities adequate to meet consumer demand at prices fair both to producers and consumers.
