Keeping in Touch With Washington
Soil Bank Payment Rate
Will Be $1.2O a Bushel

WASHINGTON, D.C.-YOu may want
to put some wheat acres into the soil
bank this fall USDA has announced
the wheat acreage reserve program for
1857 ito give wheat farmers ample
time to plan operations
Payment rate on winter wheat for
harvest in 1857 has been set by the
department at $1.2O per buSheI.
Total payment, said officials, would
be determined by multiplying the above
rates ''by yield figure which will be
established for the farm by the county
ASC committee. What that probably
will mean is normal yield for the
specific fields you may decide to bank.
Details on operation of the 1857
wheat program should be getting to
county offices about now.
There will be limits on the number
OF wheat acres that may be banked
under the 81 program, but they had
not been set at press time. Limit on
wheat acres put into the bank under
the 1856 program was the larger of
so acres or one-half of the allotment.
Before stubble is disturbed or land
plowed or disced," USDA comments,
farmers will want to consider how
best to protect and treat the land which
they may put into the wheat acreage
reserve"
AS announced earlier by the depart
ment, payment will be a flat 81 per
acre on winter wheat underplanted last
year due to poor weather, and which
already has been put into the acreage
reserve under the 1856 soil bank pro-
gram

BEEF CHECKOFF

1t looked like tough going at press
time to get bill passed vet this
session to ease the way for "check-
Offs of cattlemen's returns. the
money to be used for promotion of
beef. The legisIatiOn's worst enemy
was lack of time for consideration
as lawmakers became impatient to
get on with the political campaign.
The legislation, S Abs, would amend
the present Packers and Stock Yards
Act, providing for deduction of 10 cents
per head. Cattlemen against the de-
ductlon could get their money back.
The money would be used by the
National Beef Council to promote extra
demand. Those favoring the idea saw
1t will help cattle markets enough to
more than compensate producers for
the deductions.
Fact is that some deductions aIreadv
are being made, and have been made
Tor some while. While Washington has
not protested, officials insist that the
practice is at least technically illegal
under present law.
OSDA has not taken stand on the
proposed new legislation. Although
passage at this session seemed doubtful
general feeling is that a bill will be en-
acted eventually. Practically all hands
agree that the present muddIe needs
to be cleared up.

official figures show. Excluding Slow
moving cotton, the overall gain figures
out at % per cent.
This country now exports about 10
per cent of its total agricultural product.
Officials expect the percentage to stay
at that level, and perhaps to increase
by about per cent in the next few
years. If the trend toward export of
more animal products continues, live
stock producers will have a growing
share in foreign markets.

NEW EXPORT POLICY

New export policy to go into effect
for wheat on Sept. will strengthen
your market prices. Washington
disagreeS on just how much, but
estimates range from S to 20 cents
busheI.
Shift in policy will call for drawing
most export wheat in the future from
free market supplies, instead of from
stocks held by USDA's Commodity Gre
dit Corp. Exporters will purchase wheat
mainly through normal commercial
channels, with the government then is
SUNG its stocks to the trade to make
up the difference between foreign and
domestic prices.
Theory is that the new program will
Keep prices at level to discourage
growers from putting wheat under loan.
AS the free market strengthens. USDA
officials expect more loans to be re-
deemed by farmers. The action also
will put responsibility for wheat exports
primarily in the hands of the CONNER
cial trade, where it belongs" says the
department.
USDA action on wheat exports fol-
lows period of growing concentration
of stocks in CCC hands. During the mar
keting year ending on June 80, the de-
partment had drawn practically all ex-
port wheat from its own stocks.
Certain dangers are seen in the new
wheat-export policy by some farm lead
erS here' including officials. They fear
the new program could ID bring still
more wheat production and surplus
problems; % flock up" CCC wheat
stocks which might take years to un-
load; 90 make it more difficult and
costly for the government to get wheat
land into the soil bank.

WHEAT AGREEMENT

Just about the time USDA am
nOunced the new wheat export pro-
gram, the Senate was approving the
International wheat Agreement.
This action now assures a world
wheat program through June of
1859.
Under the new agreement, guaran-
teed sales by the us. are reduced. but
the Senate described the new total as
realistic" and in line with actual sales
IN the last year. Price range on wheat
exported under the agreement was set
at $1.5O to So per bushel, compared with
a $1.55 to $2.O5 range in the past three
years. Average subsidy to be paid by
the us. Government under the new
agreement is estimated at 20 cents per
buShel.

FARM EXPORTS

StOckmen, farm leaders here
stress, are becoming more and
more dependent on expanding ex-
port markets to keep up.their prices
at home. One important reason is
that the pattern of what we sell
abroad is changing-frOm fewer Of
some field crops, such as cotton. to
more animal products, including
dairy, poultry, red meats, lard,
tallOw and hides.
Quantity Of farm products exporte,
during the year ending July increase,
about 10 per cent above the year before
