Jtwmwiwi Will Farmers Vote On December 11? On Tuesday, Dec. 11, corn producers will vote to determine which of two price support programs will be in effect during the next three years. One of the two programs is the one that was in effect . before Congress passed the Soil Bank act last spring. It provided for variable acreage allotments and for flexible price supports ranging between 75 and 90 percent of parity. Under this program the acreage allotments get smaller as the corn supply gets bigger. Also the price support level declines *s the corn supply gets bigger. Allotments 'are smaller. Acreage allotments for most farms will be about 16 percent smaller in 1957 than Ihey were in 1956. Under this program the price support level would be $1.36 a bushel in 1957. If the acreage allotment program is continued, and if the corn supply increases further, acreage allotments wfll become still smaller after 1957 and the price support rate will also be reduced, possibly to $1.25 or lower. Congress seems to have stacked the deck in favor of continuing this program, A vote of .twoto- one against it will be required to put it out. Base Acreage Alternative. The other price support program that is available to corn growers would substitute base acreages for acreage allotments. It would allow farmers to grow a larger acreage of corn and still receive price support. The support level would be $1.31 a bushel. To qualify for price' >upport, a farmer would put land equal to 15 •percent of nis corn base acreagc into the soil b?nk. This soil bank requirement could be met in either of two, ways. Most farmers would underplant their corn base acreage by 15 percent Hid put this land into the soil l.ank acreage reserve. Th'ey would receive soil bank payments at the rate of 90 cents a bushel t'.mes the estimated normal corn yield. A few farmsrs might find it profitable to plant their entire (torn base acreage to corn and to | put. other land, equal to 15 percent of their base, into the soil bank conservation reserve. Payments under the conservation reserve would not exceed $14 an acre and wogi'd require a threeor five-year contract. Bases larger than allotments. For 1957, base acreages will average 37 percent larger than acreage allotments. After subtracting for soil bank, most farmers would have 16 percent more land available for corn under the base acreage than under the acreage allotment. Since the national base acreage' is sot by law at 51 million acres, it will not shrink. Individual farm bascf acreages might be reduced- slightly in order to set up bases for farmers in new commercial corn counties. I# 1958 and 3959 the price support level tinder this program would probably be continued at 70 to 75 percent of jparity. . The leve! announced for 1957, $1.31, is 74 percent of parity. Each farmer will receive by mail before the voting date a notice of nis corn acreage allotment and his corn base acreage for 1957. He can look at both. If two-thirds afjthe farmers voting favoV the base acreage plan, it will be in effect' for the next three years. Failing that, the; , acreage allotjnent program will *; continue until, Congress changes the law/ * "•« "'. t #1=^; L: H. Siirierl ' f Dept. of Ae- ^con. Help Fight TB Buy.
