increased. The same goes 70,

But, should the department
boost supports for corn. it un.
doubtedly would set up regula

increase from encouraging farm

Hopes Pinned on Soil Bank
The administration has ueen
plnnlug its hopes for improving
economic conditions in agricul-
ture on a proposed SIP billion
soil bank program. Payments
would be made to farmers for
taking land out of production of
crops already i'll surplus.
Agriculture Department Off
Gals said the possibility of a soil
bank program helping farmers
this year now appears very
slim. They based this appraisal
both on the possibility that
President Eisenhower may veto
the pending Farm Bill and on
the shortnesS Of time for putting
a Soil-bank plan into effect this
year.
The bill as it now stands pro-
vldeS for the soil bank. but also
would restore higher. rigid price
supports and other features
strongly opposed by the admin

predicted a bill with the high
supports would be vetoed.
