atudy of tha department'i spend-
ing program suggests tnat a great
. deal mora possibly cents or
more-can be attributed to feder
al farm programs.
Tha budgets for direct subsidy
or payment programs include:
BUlaa far Soil Baak -
SOIL BANK PROGRAM One
billion dollars for retirement of
land from surplus crops. (
AGRICULTURAL CONSERVA
TION PROGRAM Uo million dnU
lars -In payments to fanners who
carry out approved soil, water

tices. . .
! SUGAR PROGRAM 74 mniion
dollars to growers of sugar beets
and sugar cane to help enable
them to compete with foreign pro-
eucing areas. . y
WOOL PROGRAM - 10 million
dollars to wool producers aa- aa
Incentive to encourage expanded
production and to make domestic
wool , compeUUve with foreign
These programs total S1.17S..
00,000. By comparison,: farmers'
net Income this year Is expected
to do close to U billion dollars.
.Net Income Is the amount left aft
er paymeat of production costs,
BUIeas Mere far Price Support
But the department budget talis
, for the spending of as additional
Iz,M4,ooo.ooo to help sUbillzo ag
ricultural prices. Some of this
money will be used to acquire
farm surpluses. Soma will bo used
to subsidize tha azport of sur
pluses. ' , - -v.:,-
These programs win servo to
put more dollars Into farm pock
ets man producers would get if
tney were not u operation.
; Take corn for example; The de
partment is committed to support
the price of corn at an average
of $1.36 a bushel. It does this by
offering to make loans oa grain
.withheld .from the - market and
stored suitably. J
This offer has tha effect of pro
viding tha farmer alternative mar-kets-Mhe
regular market where
users buy, and tha government
.Joan.. r-rrs 1 "
Gevarnmeat Loans
The mere fact that the govern
ment stands ready to make a loan
. at a given rata makes K necee
sary for the buyer to meet or
come close to the government of
fer, or go without the corn. Thus
the support program acts to pot
more dollars into con farmers'
pockets, even though it may be
dollars from users rather than
Irom the government.
However, ia times of surpluses,
some government monev doe ra
directly into hands of producers
of corn and other supported com
modities. There is no requirement
that tha farmpr whs atnraa mm.
modities under price support pro
grams pay on me wan. He may
surrender the commodities to the
government as full payment. This
i something farmers have done
in a big way In recent years.
The price support loans are not
generally considered to be subsi-
via uccaaaa me government gets
eommnditica in Mtia-a far mmil
loans. Yet, there is room for argu
ment tnat a parr of me loan ia a
a Q a f H V nartimilarlv In imn
When market prices would be con-
siaeraniy neiow the loan rate if it
were not for the loan Drosram it
self The amount of the subsidy
cowa, do judged to Be the differ
ence between what a free market
would bring for the particular
commodity and the price support
rate. v
No Leaaa far Seme Predate
In the case of some com
modities, the government does not
make price support loans. In
stead, It purchases a part of the
supply when prices drop below"' a
predetermined price support level
Commodities which fall in this
class are dairy products, eggs,
meats, f raits and vegetables, t.
But in the ease of the purchases
as in the case of the price sup
port loans, price of the affected
commodities are bolstered above
levels which otherwise would pre
vail. This extra price might well
be tagged an indirect subsidy
flowing from the government buy
ing operations. - . - ,
; Of course, most of the purchase
programs provide bigger subsi
dies to, persons "others than, the
farmers'. Children who get the ad
vantage of the school lunch and
milk programs are major benefi
ciaries because much of the foods
bought by the government - for
price support purposes go to this
program,' ' '.'
Half BUIos ia Leaaa Yearly1 V 1
Other whs benefit from these
purchases are low income persons
who receive surplus foods through
their wolf art agencies. 1 r -;
The department spends about
40 million dollar a year to admin
later crop production control" and
marketing quota programs. This
money could well be -classed as an
Indirect subsidy to farmers be
cause it helps hold down produc
tion which otherwise might force
farm prices downward.
The department makes loans to
taling more than half a billion dol
lars annually to farmers. While
these loans are repayable, there
is an element of subsidisation ia
them. Most of the loans are made
at interest rates below those pre
vailing ra the regularmoney mar
