OBJECTIVE: FARM VOTE
Opposition To Eisenhower's
Farm Programs In Congress
Being Stirred Up By Demos

WASHINGTON - Democratic
efforts to stimulate opposition to
the Eisenhower farm programs in
the hope of winning the 1856 farm
vote will get a lot of attention in
the new Congress.
There will be moves to repeal
the key feature of that program
flexible farm price supports-and
restore high. rigid price floors.
But whether the Democrats will
make an all-out effort to wipe the
COP program off the books this
year or next is a matter party
leaders have not yet announced.
Some Democrats argue for ac-
ton next year, just ahead of the
presidential campaign. They say
farmers by 1856 will have suffer-
ed a year" of flexible price sup
ports and be eager to vote for a
change at the White House.
Administration farm leaders
dispute that, saying farmers will
be pleased by the working of the
new system. They say too that
President Eisenhower would veto
such legislation and that the De-
mocratS do not have enough vot-
es to pass it over veto.
BENSON CONFIDENT
Regardless of what Democratic
strategy is adopted, Secretary of
Agriculture Benson and his aides
express confidence that flexible
supports will be less important
issue in the 1856 campaign than
they were last November. In this
latter election, the Republicans
lost no normally Republican rural
congressional districts.
Benson says he believes the
worst is over for farmers in the
postwar period of readjustment.
But Democratic farm leaders
express fear that things will grow
worse because: Cd farm prices,
which declined Is per cent since
1851 and 6 per cent in 1854, show
no immediate signs of improving:
CD farm surpluses continue to
mount: 90 net farm income con-
tinues to fall while national in
come continues upward; and "a
farm operating costs continue
near record high levels.
PREDICT DROP
= Many Democrats predict that the
flexible price supports will operate
to pull prices and income lower.
The flexible system, which goes
into effect this year, is designed
to help guide farm production.
Under it. price floors would be
low in times of surpluses to dis
courage overproduction and to en-
courage greater production and to
hold down consumption.
Benson agrees that price sup
ports this year and next may
average lower, but he contends
efforts now being made to dispose
OF surpluses and to cut down sur
plus production will, by 1856, put
The Lincoln times., 1955-01-24

agriculture on a firmer founda-
ton.
Some aspects of the farm situa-
ton would appear to give weight
to BenSon'S argument.
SURPLUSES BURDEN
Perhaps the biggest barrier to
improved farm prices and in
comes is the price e-depreSSing sur
pluseS which will climb to a rec
ord high of perhaps 7 1I2 billion
dollars this winter. These sur
pluses largely reflect overproduc-
ton in 1928 when there were
no major production controls.
But production controls invoked
last year and this on such crops
as wheat, cotton, tobacco, peanuts
corn, rice, and sugar crops can be
expected to reduce greatly if not
stop the flow of surpluses into
government hands.
Meanwhile, broadened pro-
grams designed to move surpluses
into foreign markets in exchange
for currencieS of other countries
and into relief uses at home and
abroad are serving to reduce sur
pluses accumulated from past
crops.
AS consequence, SurpluSes
should be greatly reduced by 1856.
Other things being equal, the
smaller the surplus of a commodi-
ty, the better the chances that
prices of the commodity will rise
Assuming general economic
conditions continue at or near
present levels, it would appear
that the big livestock industry
with the possible exception of
clarifying should be in a better
position in 1856 than at present.
EXPANSION HALTED
A big postwar expansion in beef
cottle production has been brought
to halt, climaxed by a sharp
drop in cattle prices in 1858.
While supplies of beef are expect
ed to continue large, they will not
be increasing.
An expansion cycle in hog pro-
duction is nearing its peak and
the outlook is for no drastic de-
cline in hog prices.
Chances appear good that the
poultry industry, which has been
suffering from overproduction and
depressed prices, will have re-
Quoted its output by 1856.
Many dairy farmers are dis
satisfied with the governments
dairy program featuring supports
at the menimum level permitted
by law. Benson is unlikely to in
crease the support rate before
1856. Improvements in the larry
situation may come in the form
of heavier consumer demand for
dairy products, reductions in sur
pluses, and a shift by some dairy
men to other types of farm pro-
duction.
Wheat is the biggest burden
