Eisenhower's Statement Sees
Big Gains From New Farm Act

use In war or national emer-
gency.
Features Of Law.
The wide-ranging scope and
great public Importance Of this
new law Is illustrated by brief
reference to some Of its other
provisions. The new law:
Increases authority for NOV
ing dairy products into consumer
channels;
Encourages increased domestic
wool production:
Continues for two years Gov
eminent assistance to farmers
who take steps to conserve their
soil:
Authorizes larger normal sup
plies Of wheat and corn to guar
antee our Nation an adequate
amount Of these staple grains at
all times;
Shifts agricultural attaches in
foreign embassies from the De-
partment Of State to the De-
partment of Agriculture in order
to sharpen the effort to find
new world markets for our agri-
cultural products;
Provides that the modernized
parity formula will be applied
gradually to wheat. cotton. corn
and peanuts.
Important though this new
farm law is, 1t Is still only q
part Of a broad program for
agriculture. For example:
l. The new tax law signed on
August 16 not only accords the
farmer benefits accruing to tax
payers generally: It also allows
him to depreciate the cost of his
heavy equipment on more liberal
terms and specifically permits
him to deduct soil and water
conservation costs up to rs per
cent Of the gross income he re-
ceives from farming. This will
benefit some 100000 farmers. It
will save them some $40 million.
2. Increased funds have been
appropriated for agricultural re-
search. This will advance the
development Of more efficient and
more profitable farming methods.
3. The recently authorized ST..
Lawrence seaway will in time
result in lower water transpor-
tation rates for farm products
moving from the Midwest to the
Eastern United States and to
world markets across the seas.
4. Foreign outlets for Ameri-
can farm products will be ex-
banded by the new Agricultural
Trade Development and Assis-
lance Act.
S. A $15,000,000 emergency
credit program, administered by
the Farmers Home Administra-
ton, will make disaster loans
available to farmers in amounts
up to $4,000.
6. For the first time, an
amendment to the Social Security
Act will extend the old age and
survivors benefits Of that law
to an estimated 100000 farm
operators. For the first time also,
these benefits will be extended

BY the Assoeiosed Press

DENVER, Aug 28.-Follotp-
ing is the tert OF a statement
issued by President Eisenhower
yesterday NTH the signing OF
the farm BILL
I am very happy indeed to
approve this bill which embodies
my major recommendations to
the Congress In January. The
new law-the central core of a
vigorous. progressive agricultural
program-will bring substantial,
lasting benefits to our farmers,
our consumers. and our entire
economy.
Obviously, its most publicized
feature is the flexible price sup
port system which it places into
effect. At last our farmers are
enabled gradually to redirect our
agriculture toward better bal
anced productions land. at last,
our farmers are assured OF
greater freedom instead Of the
rapidly increasing RECOMMENDATION
and Federal domination they
were sure to suffer under a con-
tinuation Of the present system
Of rigid price SUPPORTS Those
who share my deep feeling about
the great Importance to our
country of preserving the proud
independence and initiative of
our farming people will share my
pleasure in this new law. and will
also share my hope that in time
nearly all production adjustments
can be accomplished through
flexible supports instead of direct
Government controls.
There will be many other i'm
portant gains from the flexible
price support system.
It will help achieve a better
balanced agriculture by moving
more farm products into con-
sumption.
Healthier Farm Economy.
Over the years, for the farmer
it will mean a healthier, more
prosperous farm economy. a
more stable income, and q
steadier buying power.
Over the years, for the con-
sumner, 1t will mean adequate
steady supplies of agricultural
products at reasonable prices
Over the years, for all Of our
people. because Of the central
economic Importance Of agri-
culture. it will mean a stronger
national economy.
An especially important pro-
vision in this new law authorizes
the Government to set aside ur
to $2.5 billion worth of its sur.
plus commodities in a reserve
insulated from normal trade
channels. BY this action we car
minimize the threat of huge sur.
pluses to current markets anc
the entire farm support program
Surplus commodities so sci
aside will be used. for many
worthwhile purposes - schoo
