WILL FARMERS PLANT TOO MUCH CORN DURING '60? All winter long we have been hearing and reading stories that farmers were planning big increases in 90m acreages this year. Reliable figures on farmers' plans are now available from the U.S.D.A.." report on Prospective Plantings for 1960, released March 18. The figures do, not provide much support for these popular winter tales. They do show that farmers in the corn belt are planning small increases in corn plantings, while other farmers will plant less. The official report contains thirty-four pages and covers sixteen major crops in fortyeight states. It is one of the regular annual reports that have been compiled and published by the: U.S.tXA. for many years. The report shows that farmers in Illinois planned to plant 10,362,000 acres of corn, or only 3 percent more than last year., Farmers in other cornbelt states reported plans to increase corn acreages as follows: Iowa, 3 percent; Missouri, 6 percent: Ohio. Indiana and Nebraska, 1 percent. Minnesota reported" irtf change. These increases were offset b\ cuts in corn acreages planned in southern and western states. The ' TotST'U." Splanned acreage i*T 85,^98.000, or 3 10 percent more than last year. That is too small to be statistically sigr|ificant. As would ba^xpected, the corn is being moved to the iiigher yielding acres. This trend has been under way for mum years. Illinois farmers plan toigrow a record sTiare of the nation's corn acreage in 1960. They plan to plant 10.362,000 acres this year, which would be 12,1 percent of the U. S. total acreage of corn. Last year Illinois farmers planted 11.8 percent of the corn, and in the 10 years 1949-5S they planted 11.1 percent Thirty years ago, in 1930. Illinois farmers planted 9,353,- OOd acres, which was only 9.0 percent of the nation's corn fields. On a percentage basis, (he Illinois share of the corn, acreage has increased by onelhii- d in the past thirty-years. This increase is important to Illinois farmers, since corn is out most profitable major crop. While corn acreage has been increasing in Illinois, it has been decreasing in the nation *s a whole. Nationally corn acreage reached its peak in 1932. when 113 million acres were planted.. The leSs than 86 million acres planned this y£ar is 24 percent less than was planted >n 1932. While U. S. farmers have planned to hold the corn acreage at last year's level, they are planning to cut the acreage of Oars by 5 percent and the acrt age'of barley by 4 percent. They reported that they would hold sorghum plantings at the 1953 level. Soybean acreage, they said, would be increased b\ 6 percent. Such an increase is not unusual for soybeans. They planned to cut spring wheat seedings by 9 percent. The acreage of winter wheat, seeded last fall, is about the same, as that of a year ago. The late spring may cut into intended seedings of spring small grains and thus cause farmers to plant more corn than they reported in March; If farmers plant corn as they reported, ancP if yields ' are equal to the high average ol the past five years, total production will be about 4.0 billion bushels, or S percent less than last vtar. L. H. Simerl Department of Agricultural Economics PLAN WAR CKXTEWIAL Illinois' observance of the centennial of the Civil War from 1961-1965 should be a series of dignified commemorative programs rather than a four-year circus-type celebration.

The one hundred persons attending the meeting represented historical societies, Civil War round tables.- schools, colleges and civic organizations. Once upon a time, it paid to earn a lot of money.
