Farmers Should Receive Protection, Not Enticed Into Over-Production By BRUCE BIOSSAT The country's efforts to take care of Its farmers show better than anything else how puzzling our affairs can be today. At the root of the matter la the fact farmers can produce more crops than people can buy at present prices. To assure the producers a decent income, the government has built complex machinery for shoring up the prices of the things they grow. But this In turn has acted as lure to farmers to produce more and more. This year's corn output will be the second highest nn raivirH tha wheat nrfin flip fourth biggest. Production o ' many other commodities will be high. Committed to supportimg ma jor farm prices, the government has no choice when market pric es drop below support levels but to take the products off farmers' hands at an agreed figure. The operation of this plan has left thp pnvprnmpnt nwninff moun tains of eggs, potatoes, corn, wheat, tobacco, cottonseed and other items. i The situation has gone so far that alarmed officials are work ing hard to choke off this flow of unmarketable commodities -into government warehouses. Next year cotton, corn and wheat all will be under federal acre age controls. Some crops already are restricted, and more may be added to the list. In all this rush to halt rising surpluses there is an ironic twist, for while one set of government officials wrestles with unwieldy output, another group is bending all its energies toward stepping up both acreage and production. Some $300,000,000 in conserva tion funds is being spent to help farmers improve their soil so PACKING An expert packer saves you money by preventing breakage, Roseburg Transfer & Storage Phone 927 AGENTS FOR DS7Kh IONS DISIANCI MOVIN tO ICONOMY-lIT US HANOll All DETAILS OFEICE P0Sm5N5 GRANT'S BUSINESS COLLEGE 112 N. Stephens See IB i iT tfflLtf0' they can grow more and better crops. Agricultural researches are busy driving toward the same goals. And these efforts are seeing surpluses in their sleep. As if this were not enough, the Bureau of Reclamation is every year opening more western land for irrigation farming. For 1949 50 the addition to useful soil will come to more than 400,000 acres. We can't stop trying to im prove our often badly depleted soils or adding to basic farm resources, especially when a 1 1 signs point to a population ad vance of about 25 percent In the next generation. It looks as if the contradiction In this situation will have to be corrected at the other end. What we need is a price program that will protect farmers against heavy loss but will not act as a lure to production until the mar ket demand warrants greater output.
