He said adoption of the base acreage proposal "may very well torpedo not only the basic corn program but the whole structure- of price sup port programs for other com modities as well." How Flan Worked Under a base acreage pro gram, farmers would have been permited to plant 51 million acres to corn in 1957. They would have been eligible for pfice support of SI. 31 a bushel, or 74 per cent of parity. The base acreage plan was part of the 1956 soil bank law. Its use under the law would per mit the secretary of agriculture to set the support rate at any point netween zero and 90 per I cem oi paruy. The acreage allotment plan permits farmers to plant 37, 238,889 acres in 1957, a cut of 16 per cent from the acreage allotment set for the 1956 crop before a base acreage program superseded it. The prite support for 1957 will be $1.36 a bushel, or 77 per cent of parity. Cotton Quota Approved l?nder the basic crop law, the support rate must be between 90 and 75 per cent of parity. Patton apparently was fearful that the 75 per cent floor under corn would be lost i base acre ages were adopted. Farmers approved an upland cotton marketing quota of 11, 014,493 bales on 17,583,463 acres by 92.4 per cent. Quotas cfor extra long staple cotton were by high winds. One of them razed a garage on the near north side and the other destroyed a variety store on the south side. The wave of frigid air extend-, ed from Washington State through the Great 'Lakes and forged as far south as Northwest Texas. Temperatures plunged t$ near 5 degrees below zero oversight near he Canadian bor der and ranged to near 10 de grees in South Dakota and South ern Minnesota and Wisconsin.

The Agri culture Department today an nounced a sharp increase in soil bank payments to farmers for the coming year. The amounts paid to farmers per acre for not planting their full allotments will be substan tially higher in 1957on all five of the so-called basic crops. The average per acre payment rate for not producing corn will be $42.66, compared with $33 in 1956. Other" 1957 soil bank average rates are wheat, $20.04, com pared with $8 this year; cotton, $54.15, compared with $24 in 1956; rice, $68.18, compared with $50 this season. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson said there are no plans to include peanuts or extra long staple cotton in the soil bank acreage reserve next year. The per acre payment rate was based on national average yield figures and the national base unit rates. iqhl Die in Crash Of Private Plane Bartlesville, Okla.
