This business of making in
centive payments to farmers for
growing more war foods and
fibers is so wrapped in the basic
agricultural economics OF the
country that il becomes a major
issue. When coupled with farm
labor and manpower supply
problems, you have what
amounts to another agricultural
revolution, more sweeping than
the farm programs introduced
with the New Deal.
In the two previous. discus
sions on incentive payments,
major attention was given to
examples of its effects on typ
ical wheat farm of the great
plains area. When you move
into the corn belt or south into
the cotton belt, you find even
more sweeping change in crop
control, penalties and incentives.
On corn itself, the change isn't
so marked. There are acreage
allotments for corn and there is
a triple A payment of SO cents
for every bushel Of corn grown
on the allotted acreage, similar
to the 90 cents per bushel paid
on wheat grown on allotted
acreage.
But there is no additional in
centive to grow corn, though
there is no penalty imposed on
the farmer if he chooses to plant
corn on more than his allotted
acreage.
The reason for this is that
with the increased goals for
meat animals, there is an in
creased demand for feed grains.
This past year was one of
Americas best growing seasons.
If 1913 should be an off-year
with a drouth, the yield of corn
might drop below consumption,
and the reserve carry-over Of
corn might be reduced to a dan
ger point. That's why some
wheat, of which there is two

West won and led a diamond,
which was won in dummy. A
small heart was played and the
ten finessed. A diamond was
led to dummy and another heart
finesse taken. The two losing
hearts were ruffed and thus six
odd was made.
At another table a diamond
was opened, won in dummy with
the king and small heart led.
The ten was finessed and ruffed
by West.
West led the jack OF diamonds
and East ruffed. Another heart
was returned, West ruffed with
the ace and cashed the ace of
clubs. When East followed with
a low club, West played another
diamond, which made EastS

Thus at that table the contract

yet in neither case would one

year carry-over, has been au-
thorized for sale as feed.
TOO MUCH COTTON
But now get into the cotton
belt and see what incentives
and penalties do to the average
small farmer there. Take a
typical Farmer Smith, who has
80 acres of ground, southern
farms running smaller than in
other sections. There Is still a
tremendous carry-over of short
staple cotton, so the Department
of Agriculture triple A program
authorizes payments to farmers
for NOT planting more than
their allotted cotton acreage.
Payment rate for 1943 is set at
IL cents a pound.
Suppose Farmer Smith has a
cotton allotment of Is acres. II
he gets 400 pounds to the acre,
he can collect $66 on his IS
acres. But il Farmer Smith goes
over his cotton acreage allot-
ment, even so little as an acre,
he doesn't get any money.
The Department of Agricul-
ture for the 10 years has been
urging cotton farmers to grow
something besides short staple
cotton. The program hasn't been
too successful, but under the
war demand for other crops,
there is the opportunity to
make incentive payments to
farmers to convert.
Suppose Farmer Smith, there
fore, is given quota of six
acres of peanuts. He can collect
incentive payments on from 80
per cent of his quota, or ga
acres, on up to 10 per cent of
his quota, which is 6.6 acres. On
the IL acres over his minimum
goal, Farmer Smith can collect
an incentive of $50 an acre,
which would give him $36 in
addition to his $66 for not
growing more than his Is acres
of cotton.
SUPPORT FOR DAIRY
AND POULTRY
On top of all these incentives
for specified crops, the Depart
ment of Agriculture has an
nounced that its policy will be to
support" prices generally for
dairy and poultry products, and
for other food crops most es-
sential to the war effort. This
general policy of support will be
carried out through government
loans, price guarantees, or gov
eminent purchases.
In other words, il the incen-
tive principle is accepted and
the money is forthcoming from
Congress to carry them out,
there will be other devices
thought up to incent further
farm production.
Already announced is plan
whereby the Commodity Credit
Corporation, another Depart
ment of Agriculture subsidiary,
will buy up tomatoes, green
peas, sweet corn and snap beans
for canning, paying the grow
ers more than the market
price, then reselling at dis
count to the Gamers. The idea
is to enable the Gamers to sell
their processed foods at prices
under the ceiling prices set by
OPA.
The theory behind this is that
1t will prevent initiation and an
increase in the cost Of living
and be cheaper in the long run
than if all incentive and price
supports we're removed, prices
paid to the farmer being allow
ed to rise with the demand.
