proposition. One phase calls for
a cut back, through the 1859
crop, of wheat, corn, rice, cot
ton, peanut and tobacco plant
ings, to the extent of about Is
million acres.
The other provides for the re-
|tirement of about the same
amount Of cropland to a con-
|servation reserve for periods
ranging from 3 to Is years.
If participation becomes man
datory. farmers viii be required
to come into the soil bank to get
supports on any commodities.
AS it is. those who overplant
wheat or corn acreage will not be
eligible for soii bank payments,
under a tentative decision of the
committee.
While some members of the
committee have been unhappy
about the leeway given the Sec
.retary Of Agriculture to fix the
scale of payments and designate
the cropland area to be covered
in the soil bank. it seems likely
that this authority viii not be
curtailed.
Annual Authority
The committee, however, ap-
proved one proviso voted by the
Senate under which the Secre-
tary may use Commodity Credit
Corp. funds to start the project,
but after February l, 1857, must
let Congress annually pass on
the program.
In a new effort to get rid of
Government held commodity
surpluses, the committee wrote
"a proviso into the bill. directing
the Secretary of Agriculture to
work out disposal program in 80
days.
He also was instructed to study
the possibility of adopting some
sort of food stamp plan through
which commodities could be used
to supplement the income of the
needy through both State and
local programs.
In the interim before the next
voting session of the committee
lis held. members plan discussion
sessions to go over the bill, item
by item, to iron out possible
kinks.

to the legislation, got all but the
last OK.
With some members of the
conference committee headed
away from the Capitol for cur
tailed holiday. no more voting
sessions will be held until next
Friday, when it is expected that
two last points at issue will be
decided.
One of these involves making
farmer participation in the soil
bank compulsory or voluntary
and it seems certain to be put
on an optional basis.
The conferees also must ad-
just the new relationship be-
tween corn and the small feed
grains now that the supports for
the latter have been made man
datory and pegged to corn prices.
$1.2 Billion to Farmers
AS the measure shapes up,
soil-bank participation this year
will pay the farmers $1.2 billion.
There is $500 million more for
the fund used to purchase sur
pluses-principally perishables-
such as the pork products the
Government has been buying in
an effort to stiffen hog prices.
In addition, undetermined
millions would be channeled to
farm belt pocketbooks as the re-
suit of the increases in field
crops and dairy products sup
ports. These have been iccorpo-
rated in the bill over the vlgor-
GUS protest of President Eisen-
hover and Secretary of Agricul-
Iture Benson.
The price structure changes
fare certain to precipitate a new
row when the measure gets back
to Congress, and if they survive
there. the question of a plTSi-
dental veto will enter into the
picture.
The administration, COM
mitted to a low price support
policy, has argued-without any
effect in Congress-that higher
supports mean overproduction

principle which is aimed at cut
ting down surpluses in which
the Government now has about
