Improved Farm Prices
Lead President 10 Ask
31% Saving US. Aid
$376,222,849 Less
Needed for Agriculture,
He Tells Congress
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Pointing to improved farm prices
and income, President Roosevelt
recommended today that direct ap-
propriations for the Agriculture De-
partment and farm-aid programs for
the 1943 fiscal year be cut 1915 49,
$40 or 81 per cent from this years
figure.
His request called for total direct
appropriations of $811 ,223 1924 as
compared with $1,187, ,446,773 voted
by Congress for the current year.
The principal reductions would be
In benefit payments authorized un-
der crop control programs and in
funds for purchase Of farm sur
pluses for distribution among needy
through the stamp and school lunch
programs and for movement abroad
under export subsidy programs.
Mr.. Roosevelt's recommendations
for benefit payments totaled $497,-
962,910, including $450,000,000 for
soil conservation benefits and $47,-
962,9l0 for sugar grower benefits.
Farm-aid appropriations for the
current year totaled $759 ,350,910, in
cluding $499 1888 900 for soil conserva-
ton benefits, $212,000, 900 for parity
payments and $47,962,910 for sugar
benefits. Thus, no request for par
ity payments was made for the 1943
fiscal year.
Could Be Authorized, However.
The President asked, however,
that the Secretary Of Agriculture be
granted authority to obligate the
Treasury for parity payments for the
so-called basic crops Of cotton, corn,
wheat, rice, tobacco and peanuts
should they become necessary to as
sure growers full parity return on
the 1912 production of these COM
modities. Such payments would not
be made, however, until the 1914
fiscal year.
The farm surplus purchase appro-
prlatlon would be cut $90.879 $50
from this years figure of 1922 ,979,-
589.
In addition to the recommended
reduction in direct appropriations
the Chief Executive suggested that
authority of the department to bor-
row from the Reconstruction FL
nance Corp. for farmer loans and
grants under the Rural Electrical
ton Administration and Farm Sc
curity Administration programs be
reduced total of S145 900 900.
S165 100000 to Be Paid Out.
Although the suggested appro-
priations made no provision for
parity payments, the Presidents
budget report showed that about
sl65 900 600 in such payments voted
year ago for disbursement in con-
nection with the l94l crop remained
to be paid out during the l943 fiscal
year.
Other activities of the depart
ment would get appropriate in
line with those made available this
year. A few would take reductions.

publishing training schedules and
assisting in the work of co-ordinat-
ing activity for the battalion.
Not missing a rung on the lad
der, Sergeant Reed was given the
grade of Technical Sergeant the
first of this year. When he came
to the new 18th regiment, his rat
ing was upped again, this time
Master Sergeant, the highest grade
available for an enlisted man.
The job that Sergeant Reed is
now assigned would carry an ex-
ecutive title and salary in civilian
life. He is directly in charge of
the entire enlisted administrative
staff. He supervises the great pile
of work that the men handle each
day. The many essential army
records, orders and personnel mat
tiers are his direct concern.
Sergeant Reed is a graduate Of
the University of Minnesota, class
of 1889. After receiving his bach
elor degree, the sergeant stayed on
at school to do research work in
his special field of concentration,
bacteriology. The sergeant worked
his way through the University
handling a great variety of jobs.
One of the most remunerative,
though most demanding, was being
Red Cap at Union Station.
Despite the fact that Reed had
to work to put himself through
college, his record at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota is outstanding.
The same ability to concentrate
and get a job done that Sergeant
Reed showed while in college, has
carried him up in the army.
Before entering the service, Ser
geant Reed was active in the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. He was
chairman of the St. Paul branch.
