Farm Veto as
Act Of Courage

Editorial comment on Presi-
dent Eisenhower's veto of the
farm bill:
| Minneapolis Tribune-In plac-
ing what clearly are deep-felt
convictions ahead of political
expediency (the President) may
hold the allegiance of more vot-
ers than will now desert him.
st. Paul Pioneer Press-c~
farm bill sent to the White
House by Congress put before
President Eisenhower a very
difficult choice. He has met it
in the most constructive way he
could and still stand by his we'll
known principles.
Phoenix (Ariz.) Gazette: Pres,
ident Eisenhower has taken the
only course consistent with farm
security by vetoing legislation
which, as he put it, would re-
treat rather than advance toward
a brighter future for our farm
families. Tempting though
1T was to remove one of the
Democrats few campaign issues
by signing the bill. the President
has had the courage to put eco
nomic soundness first.
Richmond tVa.D Times-DiS-
patch: President Eisenhower's
veto of the farm bill was one of
the most courageous acts per-
formed by Chief Executive
IN recent years. He showed
rare independence and devotion
TO the Nations well-being.
Cleveland Plain Dealer-Eisen-
hover refused to knuckle down
to political expediency: refused
to be frightened by Democratic
threats to turn the action to
their advantage; refused to be-
come a mere politician. It
was an act of craftsmanship
which raised Mr.. Eisenhower
higher in the estimation of
thoughtful Americans than any,
thing he has done since he be-
came President.
Seattle TimeS-It took genuine
craftsmanship and a high degree
of political courage to veto a
farm bill which many voting
farmers believe contained the
nostrums to cure their present
economic ills.
Pittsburgh Post Gazette: The
easy. the smart. the politically
profitable thing for the President
to have done was sign the bill.
But Mr.. Eisenhower re-
jected the smart course"
/ indianapolis Star: The Presi-
dents decision was a cou-
rageous and highly principled
one j. Democratic leaders think
they have Mr.. Eisenhower in a
hole and they are not going to
be easily persuaded to let him
out of it. We hope, however,
they will rise above paraisan-
ship this time and attack the
farm problem where it really is.
on the farm and not in the bal
lot box.
Atlanta Constitution - T h e
veto will make the farm prob
lem the major domestic issue
in the coming campaign. The
Presidents political courage very
likely will result in the loss OF
Congress to the Democrats next
year.
Chicago Tribune - President
Eisenhower's veto of the Demo-
cratic farm bill was good poll
tics because it was honest poll
tics. The bill was bad. Mr..
Eisenhower acted as the men
who drafted the Constitution ex-
pected a President would. His
veto spoke for the national in
tereSt. Progress toward a
rational farm policy is delayed
for a year.
The Newark Star Ledger:
President EiSenhower's states
manlike veto of the politically
motivated farm bill shows
awareness of the fact that agri-
culture and its problems are the
vital concern of the Nation as
whole. The Presidents
action was sound.

foreign and domestic markets
for some of these crops.
Thus we would encourage even
more SURPRISES; more SURPRISES
which we cannot use more
SURPRISES which build up faster
than we can dispose of them
more SURPRISES which would fur
ther depress farm prices in the
market.
Moreover, We can find better
farm uses for the million dollars
a day that the storage on these
SURPRISES is now costing the Gov
eminent.
My second question was:
Would this bill really help
farmers?"
1T would temporarily help some
formers. But in the long
run, it would hurt them all.
The answer to that is that ii
would temporarily help some
farmers. But the unacceptable
conclusion is it would hurt many
more farmers than it would help
And in the long run, it would
hurt them all.
+ For example, it would threaten
to destroy the whole parity con-
cept in our farm legislation by
establishing a double standard
of measurement for price sup
ports. Further this bill would
hurt livestock farmers more than
it would help them-although
we'll over half of farm income is
from livestock.
i My third question: Would it
be in the farmers interest for
me to sign a bad bill to get the
soil bank?"
The long delay in getting this
bill makes it too late for most
farmers to participate in the
soil bank on this years crops
In the South you're already
planting cotton. In the southern
Corn Belt you're already plant
ing corn. Spring wheat is being
seeded in the Dakotas. Even the
supporters of this bill in Con-
gress admitted in debate last
week that it was too late for the
soil bank to do much good this
year.
However. if the Congress will
speedily enact the soil bank
there is a way by which it can
help farmers this year. l shall
come back to this in a moment.
A further very important ques-
ton I had to ask myself: rs this
a good bill for the country" ]
firmly believe that if the bill Is
not good for farmers, then ii
cannot be good for all the other
citizens of our country.
And any time our precious
natural resources are squandered
on crops that we cannot eat OF
sell-all Americans lose.
Well. these were a few of the
questions l asked myself as ]
studied the farm bill. And when
l had searched my mind and my
conscience. I had no alternative
To protect the welfare of oul
farm families. as we'll as thu
good of the Nation. I had to re.
turn the bill to the Congress;
without my approval.

But I was told, what a risky
thing in an election year to dis

one rule: Through study. analy-
sis and consultation - and by
measuring each proposal against
basic principles 1 try to find
out what is the right. as I see it.
You. the people, surely expect
exactly that of me. And, as long
as 1 hold this high Office of Pres
ident, l shall not do anything
else.
l have one yardstick by which
I test every major problem-and
that yardstick is: Is it good for
America?
So tonight I am reporting to
you what truly believe.
Now that Congress has failed
to pass a good farm bill--What
course is open to this admins
tration?
Let me make this perfectly
plain. I do not propose to stand
idly by and do nothing.
This administration is re.
solved to do everything that is
legal and sound, in using the
tools at its command to help
farmers-snd help them now.
The failure of the Congress tc
enact soil bank before plant.
ing time this year makes such
administrative efforts impera-
tive.
l have conferred with the Sec
rotary of Agriculture and the
administration will act immedi-
ately on four major fronts:
I'D In 1856. price supports or
FIVE of the basic crops-wheat
corn. cotton. rice and peanuts
will be set at a level of least
1919 per cent of parity. Tobacco
will be supported as voted in the
referendums in accordance with
existing law.
Within this range of price sup
port f1eXibility, the administra
ton intends to set minimum
support levels that will result ir
a national average Of:
Wheat at $500 a bushel.
Corn at S1.5O a bushel.
Rice at $3.50 per hundred
pounds.
A separate support for corr
not under acreage control ir
the commercial corn area viii
, be announced at an early date
This will help strengthen price,
for all corn and feed grains.
Prices supports on cotton ano
peanuts have not yet been an
nounced but will be at least 8215
per cent of parity. The Secre-
tary of Agriculture will shortly
announce the details of the new
cotton export sales program.

plenty of moisture as well as
fertility. Two or three weeks
Of dry weather, especially when
it's hot, can check the growth
of some vegetables so that they
will never recover and the re-
suit will be a tough, stringy and
fibrous product.
1t has been my experience that
you cannot depend on natural
rainfall if you expect to grow
high quality vegetables. You
should have an inch of rainfall
each week during the main
growing season. When the rain
fails, the same amount of water
should be applied from other
sources - a pond, well, stream
or city water supply.
If the garden area is flat, sur
face or furrow irrigation may
be used. If not, one of the over
heard sprinkler systems may be
used. The most popular and eff
fective type is one having q
standpipe with a rotating nozzle
at the top. Expensive, you say;
Perhaps, if you think in terms
of one year, but you will use
the equipment over a number
of years, and think of all the
vegetables and berries that you
will save by it's use.
A friend who has been selling
irrigation systems for CONNER
cial operations in this state said
that in one year he sold more
equipment for irrigating pas
lures than for any other pur,
pose. If it is not too expensive
for pastures, it certainly is not
too expensive for the vegetable
garden which shold furnish your
table and local market with the
best products to he had.
