Soil Bank Is Key Farm Plan Feature Aimed At Boosting Income Os Farmers Washington (INS) - The •oil bank proposed in congressional farm legislation is the key feature of President Eisenhower's program to raise farm income. 'As the legislation now stands, farmers could be paid up to one billion 200 million dollars a year,

for not planting some of their land. But the soil bank has even wider possibilities for boosting farm income than direct payments. The administration believes that by cutting production, a real attack can be made at eliminating the huge stocks of government-owned i farm surpluses. These surpluses,' stored in ships and warehouses as well a under tents, have hurt farm-1 era by depressing the prices of what they raise. Agriculture secretary Esra Taft Benson said his economists figure that the surpluses reduced farm income last year alone by "the

staggering sum of two billion dollars." Farm income has dropped about one-third since the peak of 1951. ‘*' t f The soil bank—favored by some Democrats in congress even before the administration recommended it — would operate with two "windows.” At one "window,” farmers would be paitf for cutting back wheat, cotton, corn, rice and tobacco under their allotted acreage. This is a four-year program known as the "acreage reserve." There is to be 750 million dollars at this "window" for farmers who do not plant all these basic or surplus crops

which they could. Payments for not planting under the acreage reserve program would be based on normal yield per acre and price supports. The payments could be in cash or in kind drawn from the government's surplus commodities. From 15 to 20 million acres of cropland would be taken out of cultivation under this program. ■ Ths soil bank's second "window” is known as the "conservation reserve.” This is a long-range program — 10 to 15 years — aimed at building up the fertility of the soil as well as reducing production. Conservation payments could total 460 million dollars a year. Farmers could take land they have used for any kind pf production and put it into grasses or timber, water or even a wildlife refuge. The government would pay SO per cent of the cost of diverting the land to such conservation uses, and an annual rental, which Benson estimates will average $lO an acre for the country as a whole. The aim is to get-25 million acres of cropland out of production under this program. The combined programs could take about one-eighth of the nation's farmland out of harvest u*e —or a total of about 45 million acres. The administration has palled this a "massive” attack on farm surpluses. The agriculture secretary would have wide discretion to put the bank into operation, set the rules and the payments. But the agriculture department has said it intends to make payments liberal to induce wide participation. Farm leaders in congress do not expect the soil bank to be any where near fully operative this year because the planting season has started in many areas. Trade in a Goos Town — Decatur.

Electrical Power Usage Is Tripled Indiana Industries Use Far More Power INDI AN APOUS (INS) — The Indiana economic council reported today that Indiana is using three times as much electrical power tor manufacturing as it did .10 years ago. - The council pointed out thatwhile old standby industries such as steel and automotive-airplane parts are busier, relatively new and less developed industries have grown tremendously. Rock wool and gypsum require almost five times as much power as they did 10 years ago, furniture and glass have doubled their power use and clay products have almost trebled use. “Marvelous development" has been displayed by chemical industries, plastics, pre-fab homes and radio-television, which were not strong factors in Indiana’s industry a decade ago, according to the

council. Chemicals alone now use about a fifth of all the power served in Indiana, while the other groups, whkh used about a million kilowatt hours 10 years ago, now require more than 24 million kilowatts a year. Cement manufacturing takes three times as much power as it did in 1946 and limestone industries, building and agricultural, need more than twice as mucb. The council pointed out that these are among the reasons why industrial employment has increased so steadily—to the extent of more than 30.000 over* a year ago —tor it takes people as well as machines to make use of electrical power.
