Newspaper Page TextEIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, January 17, 1958 creage Reserve Program Not Mentioned in Ike's Farm Coat of A Bydget G Plan Developed Too Late; Won't Raise Estimate Washington (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower's new farm budget, which went to Congress yesteray, is out of date in one important field. The budget has nothing to say about the cost of the acreage re serve program, the administra tion's plan for paying farmers in cash or kind to reduce produc tion of wheat, cotton and other basic crops. USDA officials said the acre' age reserve plan was developed too late to include in the detailed budget, which was assembled in the middle of last month. But these officials insist the plan won't raise the budget estimate of government farm spending for the 1957 fiscal year, which be gins next July first. Slight Increase The estimate is $3,660,000,000, a slight increase over the current fiscal year. USDA spokesmen said the cost of the acreage re serve plan will be cancelled out by savings in price support ex penses if the program goes into effect. Following are some of the highlights of this campaign-year farm budget proposal: Extension service payments to states in fiscal 1957 would be $48,000,000, up $3,500,000 from the current fiscal year. The Forest Service would get nearly $96,500,000, an increase of $3,000,000. Watershed Developments The Soil Conservation Service gets a slight increase, too, and the. President proposes a boost of $3,750,000 in funds for small watershed developments. The Administration proposes to make REA loans totalling $230,000,000 in the 1957 fiscal .year, up $15,000,000 from the estimate for the current year. And Farmers Home Administra tion department would get more money under the proposed bud get. Marketing Research, which plays an important part in USDA's plans, will be boosted from slightly under $24,000,000 oto more than $25,000,000. ' s, -tr?- !Y" - . - tC- sSK- -Y .
