dent, said the proposal con
tained an "economic time
bomb." 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superseded it.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

Increase Told in
Soil Bank Payments
Washington (U.R! 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.
