Benson thinks price supports should be allowed to go down when surpluses pile up, on the theory that lower prices would discourage heavy production. As Ions as the present 90 per cent parity supports are required by law for major products, Ben-Son will be unable to use supports as a mechanism to alter crop production patterns. Parity Is a price designed to be fair to farmers in relation to prices they pay. FFW SHORTAGES i He does, however, have machinery in the form' of acreage and marketing controls to force reductions in plantings of suvh i crops as wheat, corn, cotton, rice, peanuts and tobacco when sup- plies become excessive.

This problem of what to do with extra acres- is likely to be a J-' ' Bv OVID MARTIN WASHINGTON (AP The Eisenhower administration must come up soon with an answer to this question: What should farmers do with upwards of 25,000,000 a?res that may be made idle in the United States next year under rigid crop controls? Those acres would take a big slice out of farm income that has dropped sharply. Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson has already invoked Marketing quotas on wheat under a program calling for a 15.000,-000-acre reduction in plantings for the 1954 crop. A major portion of the wheat will be seeded during the coming fall. Hence, the ouestion of what to grow on land taken out of wheat is press-in?. With surpluses plaguing cotton as "well, similar controls may ' have to be applied to the fibre crop. A prospective bumper corn crop signals possible controls to reduce corn plantings. VOLUNTARY REDUCTIONS The U.S. government is without power to impose similar controls on such crops as soybeans, flaxseed, oats, barley, potatoes and dry beans. But supplies of some of these crops are moving into a surplus class that may lead Benson to appeal for . voluntary reductions in plantings next year. pcits.

Obviously this pleasant result would not have been realized if MrS. Keen had played the king pf hearts at trick one. In that case dummy's queen would have Btcrjped the suit and Miss Brash would have had no difficulty in jraking her game.
