Benson Asserts Gains Made Under Farm Plan

Second of Three Dispatches By EZRA TAFT BENSON Secretary of Agriculture Written for United Press WASHINGTON lUP> -We are moving steadily toward sound solution to the farm problem This is evident in the gains that have been made. Income per person on farms last year—including income from all sources—was the 'largest in history. The level of living of families on farms today is higher than ever before. Farm exports for the past two _ calendar years have been at an all-time/ peak. The surplus production of American farms is being made available to hungry people at home and abroad. The downtrend in prices which began early in 1951 has been stopped. Prices received by farmer! in January were 4 per cent above a year earlier and 10 per cent above two years earlier. Buildup Reversed The buildup of surpluses which began in fiscal year 1952 has been reversed. Government investment in surplus farm products owned and under loan has dropped about one-sixth in the past year and a half. We all realize, however, that despite these gains agriculture is still facing difficult problems. Farmers are hurt' by the costprice squeeze, by smaller and smaller acreage allotments, by the uneconomic diversion pf acres from some surplus crops into other crops, and by unrealistic price which curtail markets and open the doors to competitive products, families on the 54 per cent of our farms with cash incomes of less than $2,500 get little benefit, if any. from the various price support programs To deal with these difficulties i we need to continue to push for- ; ward along the lines of market I expansion, increased freedom for | farmers to make their own decisions, and . realistic did to people in underdeveloped rural areas. Administration's Program These are the aims of the farm. | food and fiber program presented to Congress by President Eisenjhower in January. Here is what the program will: do: —lt will develop . bigger mar-1 kets. thus putting our abundance | to better use. The Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act has been a major factor in our widening export markets,. We have asked that it be i expanded for a year with an ad- ■ ditional appropriation of $1,500-; ~000,000 Research on new uses of , farm products and more effective marketing is vital to agricultural progress Since 1953 appropriations for agricultural research have increased 95 per cent, and we are asking for a further in- j crease. Permits More Freedom —The program will allow farm-: ers mote freedom to use their : productive resources. We are seeking authority to increase acreage allotments that now are so small as to cripple farm efficiency. We urge a revision and wider range of price supports to expand markets. , The program will push forward the necessary long range conservation effort. We propose to, strengthen the conservation reserve program of the Soil Bank in the interests of overall production adjustmdht. . —The program will help provide opportunity for economic' betterment in underdeveloped rural areas- We have urged that the rural development program, now | operating in about 100 counties ini 30 states, be given increased eta-j phasis. , - . , Bigger markets, more freedom for farmers to produce, sou n d i conservation and production adjustment, and special help to ■ those on small low income farms —these are steps that will lead to a Sound solution of the farm problem and the develop-
