SECTIONAL CONFLICT

Now these regulations apply Tn detail only in the 12 states Of the corn belt. To be more exact, they apply only to about half the coun- ties in the 12 states. The result is that a farmer on the corn belt side of county line may be under these particular crop restrictions while a farmer on the other side is not-and yet the latter gets his ben efits right along. although under a different sort of soil conservation schedule.
 And the end is not yet. In July. a quota is to be decided on for wheat growers. Already it is im- posed on tobacco and cotton grow CTS. But while the kicks may pour in, the evidence continues that most farmers like it. More than 90 percent of the cotton growers and 80-plus percent of the tobacco growers voted for marketing quo- tas such as have not yet been im- posed on corn or wheat.

TROUBLE IN THE CORN BELT '
IN THE CORN BELT Second Two How Farmers View Crop Control in the Corn Belt
Second of Two Articles

Political parties have nothing to do with it. Those of us who be- lieve in the plan and are working on it think 1t is bigger than par ties, and that something like this will have to be carried on by what ever party is in."
 Tilden Burg. head of the Corn Belt Liberty League admits that the compulsory element in the present bill is diluted and remote. But he fears for the future.
 "They get their foot in the door with the compulsory feature of this act, and next year it will be worse. Then the way is. open for complete control over our farms by officials. That's what we want to head off right now," he says. JUST WHERE IS
 THE CONFUSION?
 So, compulsion being the issue, 1t is worth examining what de- gree and what kind of compulsion is provided by the act.
 In the first place, no farmer need go along with the plan at all, but can plant whatever acre. age he wishes.
 If, when Aug. IS rolls around, government estimates indicate a corn crop of 2,800,000,00O bushels (that is 110 per cent of normal supply and well above normal do- mestic and export needs), then things begin to happen.
 The secretary of agriculture de- cides how much of that corn can be put on the market without breaking the price unduly. And every farmer in the 566 counties of the commercial growing area is notified what si his share of that.
 But before these quotas are made effective, two-thirds of the commercial-area growers must vote for it. Once so voted, it is effective against participators and non-participators alike. There is the compulsion.
 Corn which fame has aised above his quota, once it is voted must be stored, and not sold or

 Macomb, H., June 2.-Despite protests against corn acreage allot- ments and possible farm dictator ship" by farmers joining the Corn Belt Liberty League, many farm CTS are going along with the gov- ernment's plans in this section.
 The truth is, neither those who are joining in the Leagues pro- test, nor those who follow the gov- ernment lead, understand the plan very well. It is like the Einstein theory, a thousand people talk about it for every one who under stands it.
 i've never heard the agricul- tural act or the ceremonial fran ary plan explained or discussed at any League meeting," says Andy Hodges. There is lot of arm- waving and talk about liberty and compulsion but they never take up the plan itself.
 "But it makes a lot of the farm CTS curious. They come in here and ask questions. And pretty near all of them agree with the plan after they've heard what it's about"
 Hodges is president of the Mo- Donough County Agricultural Conservation Association. There is such an association in every farm county.
 THE PROS AND CONS
 OF FARM PROGRAM
 Were not working against the League, or paying any particular attention to it," Hodges resumed. "In fact we agree with them that no compulsion can be used on American farmers. But we think this farm program is democratic in the way it works.

FINES LEVIED FOR
 NONCOMPLIANCE
 Corn marketed in excess of the quota draws a fine of IS cents bushel. To prevent hardship to farmers in having their capital tied up in the form of stored corn, the government will loan g cents a bushel on the corn. When the price rises to 75 per cent of parity (63 cents this year) the stored corn would be released to the market.
 Backers of the present corn plan point out this: the 1936 crop burned out, causing Q shortage. But last yeor's crop was so heavy that there is now carryover of 1,067, ,678,000 bushels of unused, unsold, unfed corn in storage. A bumper crop this fall wounld knock the price back down around 20 cents unless control is effected.
 But another thing that sticks in some corn belt farmers craws is this: the allotment and quota limitations apply only to the 566 counties of the commercial area. Farmers outside that area can raise all the corn they like with out being subject to limitation or penalty.
 There is one specific possibility in the League which may be giving Secretary Wallace more worry than long range political implications.
 It is this: if c surplus looms in the fall, and marketing quotas are set, the League will be in a posi- tion, being organized, to oppose as unit in the referendum the im- position of quoats. And since 1t takes two thirds to ratify the quotas, the organized opposition of the League might be 8 vital factor.
