500 MILLION
CROP CONTROL
FUND PLANNED

Agriculture department officials
predict more farmers will share
in the $500,000,0OO benefit pay
ments planned under the 1887
federal farm program, the prin-
cipal feature of which will be an
attempt to control corn acreage.
Greater inducements to small
farm operators and inclusion of
more dairymen, ranches and
stockmen were listed as other ma
jor changes from the 1886 plan by
j. b. Hutson Of the agricultural
adjustment administration.
AS under this years program,
farmers may earn two classes of
payments: one for reducing acre
age OF corn, cotton, wheat, tobacco
and other major crops, and the
other for following approved
methods of building up fertility
of their lands.
Congress must appropriate
funds before the program can be
put into effect.
Major points in the 1887 farm
program are.
1-"Soil depicting bases" will
be set up as yardsticks to measure
diversion of acres from crops
which destroy soil to crops which
build it up.
Crops will be classified as
soil depicting and soil conserving,
following 1886 standards.
3-Farmers will be paid to shift
from soil depicting crops in gen
eral, and from cotton, tobacco,
peanuts, sugar and rice.
4-Every producer, no matter
how small his farm, can receive at
least $50 benefit, minimum in 1886
was $40.
5-A sum not OF exceed $780,
100000 will be spent.
6-Present regional administra-
ton will be continued.
7-Expenses of each county ag-
ricultural conservation association
will be deducted from payments
to farmers in the county. Pre-
viously, such expenses in south
and northeast were paid out of
general funds.
8-Range program will include
western part of southern and
north central states, as well as
the western states.
9-Fruit and vegetable growers
will be offered an increased al
lowance for soil building.
19-Farmers with sizeable per-
manent pastures may participate.
Would Block Increase
AAA officials said the new plan
to fix limit on corn acreage in
middle western states where that
grain is a major crop was an at
tempt to block the natural ten
dency of farmers to increase pro-
duction next year.
yDrouth clipped about billion
bushels from the 1886 corn yield,
and the grain has scared in price.
By limiting the corn acreage on
farms that normally produce two
thirds of the country's crop, AAA
officials said they hope to prevent
surpluses that might force prices
