i FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THREE Reduction Program St arts For American Farms By OVID A. MARTIN AuocLted Pres. Farm Keporter WASHINGTON A ground well Is developing In farming areas for a federal program that would reduce the size of the na tion's farm plant until markets are better able to use what agri culture Is capable of producing. Farmers now recognise that ag riculture over-expandea to meet war and postwar needs and that big surpluses . accumulated as a consequence. Few farmers see hope of ' any substantial improvement' In the farm economy until production can be brought closer into balance with markets. At recent hearings held by the Senate Agriculture Committee in major farming areas and in Inter views elsewhere, farmers disa greed on price support levels and methods of carrying out price guarantees. But there was an al' most unanimous endorsement of a land retirement program. It appears to De a pretty good wager that tne benate committee will include such a program In new farm legislation it plans to write. Both Democratic ana Re Dubllcan members sreeted the idea as a "new look" in farm pro grams. s; :.'....-, : . ,. The plan Is being advanced as a "sou bank." Farmers would take a portion of their tillable land out nf all production and iput It ' to coil-building uses. That would store lertillty for a luture emergency or to meet needs of an expanding -pop ulation. For taking land out of produc tion, farmers would get a pay ment from the government. Most farmers agreed that this payment should be enough to pay the taxes Demos Okay Doenges' Post CHICAGO UPi The Democratic National Committee Thursday ap proved on a voice vote retention by William C. Doenges of his post as Oklahoma's committee mem ber. The national committee also seated Lt. Gov. Ben Ramsey as Texas' national committeeman, Doenges retained his place on the Democratic state committee over protests from the Democratic state committee and others.' His membership on the national com mittee previously had been ap proved oy a v-s vote of a creden tials subcommittee. Ramsey was seated with Monroe Sweetland, Oregon committeeman, registering his official disapproval of the action. Dean Johnston, head of the Texas Young Democratic Clubs, was an opponent of Ramsey before the committee. t ,- Later the full committee's vote to accept Ramsey was made unan imous. A committee spokesman explained that this was done after Ramsey made a statement to the effect that any person holding an office such as his is under solemn obligation' to abide by the rules of' the national committee. The spokesman said that Ranv sey stated he would do so and ex pects others to do so. on the idled land, pay the cost of seealng lt to a soil building crop, and give the farmer a rental fee equal to from 6 to 7 per cent of its annual productive value. Prime advocates of such a vlan are President Howard Hill of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation and President James Patton of the National Farmers Uion. Some farmers would have the program require every farmer to idle a uniform percentage of his tillable land. Others would make It voluntary. To protect dairymen and cattle- Logger Rescued In High Sierra NEVADA CITY: (UP) Arnett B. Ausley, 45, Grass Valley logging contractor, was rescued early to day after being marooned in a pow er snacK near Fuller Lake, east of here in the High Sierra. - Ausley was in good condition but cold, as he had been unable to light a fire In the powder shack.

Greece Suffers Through Floods ATHENS, Greece iP) Forty eight hours of rains and floods brought death and destruction to Greece Thursday.

Naturally, a' program of this kind would cost a lot of money. Estimates vary from 350 million to one billion dpllart a year. If the plan works successfully to re duce production, farm prices could be expected to improve. It then would be possible to make grad ual reductions in the rental fees. The Iowa Farm Bureau leader said it certainly would- not be more expensive than the present program under which the govern ment lost about 800 million dollars in price support operations alone. In advancing the soil bank Idea, farmers recognise that present crop control measures have not succeeded In . holding down the volume of crop production. This year's farm output will be the largest of record although rigid controls were Invoked on cotton, wheat, rice, peanuts, and tobacco adlee rigid controls on corn. What is happening is this: About 10 per cent of the cropland has been taken out of the crops under controls, but this diverted land hss been used to produce surpluses in other crops, such as oats, bar ley, grain sorghum, soybeans and the like.
