Allotments Of
Crops Proposed
Now that acreage allotments
and marketing ouotas seem like.
ly on a number of major crops
in 1B.10 thn nrnhlem im nna nf
keeping acreages taken out of al
lotment crops from piling up sur
pluses of other farm commodities.
According to E. Harvey Miller,
chairman of the Oregon State
PMA committee, this is one of
the big problems if not the big
gest facing farmers of this
country today. As surpluses of
one crop pile up there will be a
tendency if past experience can
be used as a guide to shift pro
duction to other cash crips. This,
In one year, may mean surpluses
and ruinous prices for these com
modities. Mr. Miller said that it
has been suggested that there be
a total allotment on the farm to
cover all these crops. This would
mean that in addition to the al
lotments on individual crops
there would be a total farm al
lotment that would cover all
cash crops, or crops that may
.cause marketing troubles. To be
eligible for price supports, the
i farmers would have to be within
this total allotment as well as all
the allotments for indivdual
j crops.
I On a farm where a farmer
may have a normal acreage of
60 acres or wheat, 30 acres of
corn, and 10 acres of potatoes,
he may have individual crop al
lotment of SO acres of wheat,
25 acres of corn, and 5 acres of
potatoes. But he may have 20
acres in other cash crops, which
if Increased would help to build
j up surpluses. The ideas suggest
ed would be to set up an over-all
allotment as well as allotments
for individual cash crops. He
would have to be within the in
dividual crop allotment and the
total allotment to be eligible for
price supports on any crop. 'crops both to Increase livestock

instead of against each other,
the chairman said. And as to
what to do with the land taken
out of these cash crops, he sug
