Defense Costs
May Affect
Farm Income

Large financial requirements for
the national defense program, federal
farm officials said, may necessitate
a shift in the administrations meth
DDS of bolstering the income of pro-
ducers of major agricultural crops.
The shift, they said, may entail
reduction in cash subsidies and an
increase in government loan rates on
crop SURPRISES.
During the past few years the Ad-
ministration has sought to improve
and stabilize farm income mainly by
distributing benefit payments among
producers cooperating with crop con-
troll programs. Funds appropriated
for such payments this year amount
ed to about $775,OOO,00O.
The present disparity, it is said,
between prices of farm and nonfarm
products may be widened by an in
dustrial boom they anticipate from
government defense spending. They
explain that existing SURPRISES of ma
jor crops and reduced foreign market
prospects would tend to keep farm
prices from advancing along with
other price increases.
AS consequence, officials said,
it might require $1,0OO,O00,00O or
more of benefit payments to keep
farm buying power at present levels.
Officials feel, however, that with a
heavy drain on the Treasury for re-
armament, there would be little
chance of securing necessary funds
for agricultural aid.
Crops most likely to lag behind a
general price advance, they said,
were cotton, wheat, tobacco, rice and
others dependent on foreign markets.
Exports of these products have been
sharply reduced since the European
war started.
Officials said that the Administra-
ton might turn to a "high" loan pol
icy of bolstering prices and incomes
from the export crops. Under such
a policy the Government would make
loans to growers on these products
at rates ranging from % to As per
cent higher than under present loan
programs.
For example, the present rate on
cotton is about 10 cents a pound. 1t
might be increased, beginning with
the 1941 crop, to Is or 16 cents. The
loans have tendency to peg prices at
or near the loan rate level because
buyers, in order to get supplies, must
pay prices equivalent to the loan rate,
else growers would store their crops
under loans.
Officials said that higher loans
would have the effect of giving pro-
ducers larger income at the market
place-an increase which would offset
any reduction in benefit payments.
There is opposition within the Agricul
ture Department to higher loans. 1t
is contended that such loans would
hinder exports further and result in
huge financial losses to the govern
ment when liquidation of loans be-
came necessary. The Government
already has more than $1,O00,OOO,OOO
invested in crops stored under loans.
Some farm officials favor again
asking Congress to enact processing
taxes to raise money to cover in
creased benefit payments.
