Farmers Os County Are Urged To Vole Corn Referendum In Nation Tuesday The com referendum .Tuesday, will greatly influence the price of corn to the fall of 1957 and throughout 1958, county agent Leo N. Seltenright has revealed. In addition, the referendum will have a substantial effect on the price of soybeans and other crops which are substituted for corn. Since the referendum will have an important effect on the prices of com belt crops, every farmer should be interested in casting his ballot whether or not he expects to be in the program. Seltenright reported considerable misunderstanding regarding the corp referendum. Basically, farmers are being asked to choose between: (1) a corn acreage allotment of 37.3 million acres for the nation and a support price of $1.36 for 1957. This allotment compares with the 43.3 million acres allotment for 1956. Or, l 2) the soil bank corn base of 51 million acres and a support price of $1.31 for 1957. If less than two-thirds of the voting farmers vote for the soil bank, the acreage allotment program will remain in effect. How are each of these likely to influence the income of corn belt farmers? If the allotment program carries, farmers may elect to plant above their allotments and get no price support, or to stay within their allotments and get the $1.36 price support. With the corn acreage allotment 14 percent lower than 1956 and the support price of $1.36 a bushel, compliance with

acreage. allotment* in 1967 would I likely be small as compared to 1956. If compliance is small, the acreage pf corn grown In 1957 will probably be larger than 1956. In addition, fewer farmers will be eligible for price support loans so that the support program would probably be less ineffective than 1956 This is particularly true because farmers who do not participate in the program in 1957 will not be eligible for com support loans. This situation could result in corn prices being substantially lower next year than they would otherwise be. Under the acreage allotment program, soil bank payments can be earned by reducing the acreage of corn below the com allotment. This means that soil bank payments could be earned on only a very few farms and they would be substantially reduced as compared to the soil bank base program. If the soil bank base program carries in the referendum, farmers of the United States can elect to grow either more or less corn than their soil bank base. If they grow more than their soil bank base, they will receive no soil bank payment and will not be eligible for a support price program of 91.31. In other words, they can grow at least 15 percent more corn for five cents less support price. In addition, by putting land into the soil bank program they will be able to collect soil bank payments starting at 51 million acres national bases rather than 37.3 million. It now appears that acreage reserve payments will be calculated on a productivity index next year and will be somewhat higher than in 1956. Participation in this program would likely be considerably higher because the acreage restriction is not so great and the support price is only slightly less. In addition, the soil bank pay-

meats can be earned without making such a drastic cut in corn production. Under this program most of the participation would likely be in the thin land areas of the com belt. Participation would likely be great enough to make a fairly large proportion of corn eligible for loan. 'TYiis would tend to make the support price program effective and probably result in corn prices near the present levels. In addition, it would not encourage as much expansion in substitute crops such as soybeans, grain sorghum, barley, and so forth as would the allotment program. This would tend to hold up the prices of these crops. Confesses Stabbing Stepfather To Death KOKOMO, Ind.
