4 Keeping in ToDcb With Washington
80 USDA Budget Increases
go Funds for Research

WASHINGTON, DC. - USDA's new
budget includes a request for extra
funds for research and education, but
less for conservation and school lunches.
Secretary Benson is asking SIS million
in additional Observation-Disclosures funds.
OF the SIS million in added funds,
USDA would give Sc million to Ex-
tension Service, So million to re-
search. ALI extra Extension funds
would be paid out to states for more
county agents, and to promote the
''unit" approach to the farmers
problems. Of the 50 million for re-
search, $5A million would go to
State Experiment Stations.
Two points to keep in mind at this
stage of the game:
I. Budget changes by Congress, up or
down, are always possible.
2. Whatever may be voted this year
for research and education would be
over and above $50 million in additional
funds for the same purposes that were
voted last year.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-02-15
TOTAL BUDGET LESS

The USDA budget, overall, as 1t
has now gone to Congress, asks $2.3
billion for all purpOses-IOans and
price supports, as well as regular
spending. That amount would be
about 1871 million less than esti-
mated budget needs for the current
fiscal year.
Benson's savings, if they material
lied, would be due to reduced losses on
surplus commodities. The Secretary
figures that disposal losses in the new
fiscal year will be somewhat less than
in the last.
For regular department purposes,
meantime, he asks somewhat more than
he has had in the current year. The
USDA request is for $751; million to
cover regular spending. excluding loan
and price support programs. That fig
ure compares with $7s5 million for this
fiscal year.

Price spreadS-the difference be-
tween what farmers get and con-
sumers pay-have increased some
more. For several years now the
amount the farmer gets of the con-
sumner dollar has been going down.
I'm 1854, the official figures show
the farmer was getting 43 cents,
compared with As cents i'm 1858.
This is situation you can count on
hearing more about Farm-area con-
gressmen are already belaboring the
''middIeman'' for taking more than his
fair share of food profits Here's how
the USDA sums up the situation for
last year.
Farm prices averaged per cent low
err.
Marketing charges on food products
went up 1 per cent.
Retail cost of foods declined only 2
per cent.
The picture in the case of cattle and
beef was different from the overall
situation. AS the market authorities at
USDA put it: ''The farm-to-retail price
spread or marketing margin for choice
grade beef decreased during 1854
the spread between the combined whole
sale value Of beef carcasses and bypro-
ducts and the price of live cattle aver
aged slightly less in 1854 than in 1853.
The spread between the composite re-
tail price of beef products and CORES

also narrowed slightly"

SEEK TRIP-LEAsE Law

Farm leaders here are once more
trying to write trip-Ieasing rights
firmly into law. The right to trip
lease, or arrange for back hauIs OF
non-farm products, has d u
farm costs an incaIcuIabIe amount
over the years. Recently, however,
the practice has come under severe
attack.
To counter opponents, farm Organiza-
tons last year supported bill to fix
trip-lease rights into law It passed the
House, but died in Senate committee.
This year an identical bill has been in
troduced which farm leaders claim win
be finally written into law
Key passage in the legislation would
prevent the governments Interstate
Commerce Commission (ICC) from
regulating the duration of any lease,
contract, or other arrangements 'sfor
the use of any motor vehicle, or the
amount of compensation to be paid for
such USE"
SCS, EXTENSION ISSUES
There's another toe-tO-tOe scrap
about to break out Inn the open be-
tween Extension Service and COM
ServatiOnists i'm local districts and
the Soil Conservation Service.
There are several issues pending
that have the conservation folks
hopping mad.
One point of contention is the Benson
budget for next fiscal year, starting
July l., 1855. The Secretary has budg-
eted about 81 million less than i'm the
current year for Sos technical services
to soil districts. But there is another
budget item that has the conservation
people worked up even more.
1t provides that 'sany federal, state. or
local public agency may be allotted UP
to per cent of county conservation
payment (ACP) funds for technical
services to farmers. In previous budg-
cts, this ACP money for technical aid
could be allotted only to the SCS. Con-
servation district leaders interpret this
to be an: attempt by Secretary Benson to
benefit Extension at the expense of Sos.
