Guest Editor. Chorees:

Careful study of the farm pro-
gram proposed by President Eisen-
hover has convinced us that the
program has two glaring weak
nesses. First, the soil bank plan,
the principal point of the pro-
gram. offers little help to the
small farmer and no help at all
to the tenant farmers and share
cropperS-thoSe with the greatest
need. And second. there is little
in the program that offers i'm
mediate help to farmers.
A soil bank program. under
which it is proposed to pay far
mers for seeding grasses and le-
gumes on land now being used to
produce crops already in surplus,
is basically> sound. 1t seems, how
ever, that the Eisenhower pro-
gram is aimed at the big farms OF
the midwest. and that the small
farmer of the South mas been for
gotten.
The small farmer Just doesn't
have the acreage to divert to grass
land. The acres on the small farm
not used for cash crops must be
cultivated for food. must be used
for pasture. and for woodland to
produce fuel for the family and
future timber needs.
In his message. Mr.. Eisenhower
said that rights of tenant farmers
must be protected; but as far as
we can determine. there is nothing
in the soil bank plan that would
benefit the tenant or sharecrop-
per.
The soil bank plan also fails to
put proper stress on tree planting,
which should at least occupy
place Of equal Importance with
grasses and legumeS. Forestland
in this nation has been and is be-
ing laid waste. It must be replac-
ed. not only as a source Of timber

This is an election year. and

President Eisenhower's advisors
were certainly casting political
eye toward the big farms of the

that in its final form. after
