WHEN THE QUESTION of applying
social security to farmers was under dis
cuSsion in Congress two years ago, Montana
Farmer-Stockman conducted reader poll
to see how Montana farm and ranch fam
lilies felt about the matter. The results of
the poll indicated that 6212 per cent of the
farm and ranch people who participated
were opposed to compulsory social security.
Only 3712 per cent favored it.
Similar surveys were made in other agri-
cultural states. In some states farmers ia
vored the social security idea by consider
able margins. In other states more voted
against than for the measure although. the
percentage against in most instances was
considerably smaller than in our Montana
survey.
The law bringing farmers and ranchers
into the compulsory social security program
was later enacted by Congress. Now the first
social security taxpaying period is at hand.
Taxes on farm employees are due Jan. 81.
Self-employed farmers and ranchers must
pay per cent of their net income in social
security tax, in addition to their federal in
come tax This payment is due Feb. 15 if
you did not file preliminary income dec
laration, or April Is, if you pay your income
tax in quarterly installments.
This taxpaying period is bringing the
matter of social security up for discussion
once more in many rural homes. Reports
reaching us from farming communities over
the state indicate that there has been con-
siderable change in the feeling about social
security, now that the plan is in operation.
Many rural families seem more favor
ably inclined toward the program than they
were when our poll was taken two years
ago. They have had more opportunity to
consider the advantages as well as the dis
advantages Some who oppose this compul-
sorry old-age pension system in principle,
realize that it is probably here to stay and

to practical lOng-range federal farm nro-
gram, it entails difficulties and complexi-
ties of administration that may cause it's
failure after few years of trial. 1t would
be tremendous job to properly determine
the acreage reserve" payment for each
piece of land as well as the conservation
reserve" rental basis, in view of the differ
ences in types of soil, productive capacity,
grades and quality of crops produced. And
the task of policing the acreages on which
grazing is prohibited would be a difficult
one. The amount of red tape involved would
appear to be far greater than under the
present program.
The soil bank program is just one part
of the omnibus agricultural legislation be-
fore Congress. There is fairly strong sup
port for trial two-price plan for rice, and
possibly for wheat. 1t seems doubtful that
this will be approved for wheat, but there is
distinct possibility that the rice plan may
be enacted. This would at least provide an
opportunity for trying out the two-price
principle.
Under the two-price plan, each producer
of the commodity involved would receive an
allotment covering his share of the domestic
consumption of the product for food. These
allotments would be evidenced by market
ing certificates supplied by the secretary of
agriculture.
The certificates would be for certain
number of bushels of rice Tor wheat, and
would have definite established dollar
value equal to the difference between the
estimated average price of the product in
the market place and the estimated parity
price for the marketing year ahead.
Professors would be required to pur-
chase certificates in an amount equal to the
quantity of the product marketed in the
form of food products. In this way the pro-
ducers would receive parity price for their
allotment The remainder of the product
would bring the supply and demand market
price.
The producer would thus receive a par
ity or American price for his share of the
domestic food consumption of his product
and the world price for the balance. Such
plan would be far easier to administer and
would leave the Individual producer with
more freedom of action, and less rigid gov
eminent control, than the program now in
affect or the soil bank plan about to be en-
acted
Let's hope Congress will provide for +;
practical trial of the two-price plan, ever
if if is limited to rice

some things and contract expendi-
lures for others.
Farm Demand Growth
Growth in farm product demand
comes mainly from two sources: growth
in national income and growth in popu-
lation. Even if income only kept pace
with population, we'd have more mouths
to feed. Middle-of-the-road estimates
not the most conServative-predict
population may increase Is per cent
over 1850 by 1875. Some estimates go
as high as 40 per cent. To either of
these, we can add the increased farm
demand which would spring alone from
national income increases.
If farm production itself weren't
growing, even IS per cent farm de-
mand increase would mean a big hike
in farm prices. But, of course. farm
production is growing right along with
national economic growth and popula-
ton increases.
Farm production has increased about
2 per cent per year over the last Is
years.
What are the prospects ahead? Will
production lag behind demand and food
needs? Two major studies have been
made to help predict how much we
might produce with present farmland
area fixed.
Production Prospects
One of these was a production ca
pacity study made by the USDA and the
state agricultural colleges. The other
was made by the Presidents Materials
Policy Committee. Based on existing
techniques or production methods and
getting the better practices into use
on more farms, the results suggest
total farm production could grow by
40 per cent from 1850 to 1875. They
suggest production might grow by as
much as 60 per cent with new, i'm
proved techniques and if all farms
were managed like the most efficient
ones.
Even if the 2-per cent-per-year trend
Of the last Is years continued, it would
allow so per cent increase in farm
output from 1850 to 1875. This increase
in output and the new techniques to
go with it would call for some add
tional expenses or inputS. Increases
over the past Is years have come about
with about 80 per cent decrease il
farm labor and about 20 per CEN
increase in other production inputs
The future would likely follow abou
the same proportional trend, though
