Freedoms Given In Farm Program Des Moines, Iowa (IP) Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson has told Ameri can farmers their "four free doms" are being provided for by the Administration farm program. "The liberties you want are more freedom to plant, more freedom to market, more free dom to meet competition, and more freedom from govern ment interference, Benson said Friday at a meeting of the 20th anual National Farm in stitute" get-together. Benson said farmers can not have "mixed formula cal culations" and "rigid parity," and still have an economically sound, feasible program. The key features of the Eis enhower farm program, Ben son said, are larger acreage al lotments for crops and price supports ranging from 60 to 90 per cent of parity, instead of 75 to 90 per cent.
