A compromise farm bill has
passed bofh houses of the
congress and is awaiting Pres-
? laent Eisenhower's signature
as this is written.
.The new law will permit
basic crop price supports to
reach their lowest level in 20
years and will cancel sched
uled cutbacks in cotton and
rice planting allotments next
year. (That is to say, it will
permit MORE ACRES to be
planted to cotton and rice.)
The bill is generally re
garded as a major victory for
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son, and President Eisenhow
er, who has consistently
backed the policies of Secre
tary Benson, is exepected to
sign it.
TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, August 21. 1958 5
FHE significant fact in con
- nection with the new law
i3 that it has the approval of
rice and cotton farmers, who
would rather PLANT MORE
ACRES TO RICE AND COT
TON, even if the result is
lower prices.
HERE in Southern Oregon
and Far Northern Cali
. fornia, we have a special in
terest in this new law.
We grow no rice. We grow
no cotton. But wp T)Cl erow
potatoes, barley, small 'seeds,
eic. for years, mese nave
been staple crops in our area.
Our soil and climate are fav
- orable to them. These crops
are our specialties.
But
, As rice and cotton not
to mention wheat, peanuts
and tobacco have been re
duced in acreage in order to
hnlrl rfnwn total nrnduction
so that the subsidy-promoted!
surpluses won't swamp us to
, tally the growers of these
so-called basic crops have
tended to put into potatoes,
barley, small seeds and so on
the acres that have been
taken out of these crops.
The result of il! all has
' been heavily increased com
petition for . our specialty
crops.
