tohave plenty of election year trouble with the farm problem Vir tually everybody is dissatisfied with an swers so far tried virtually nobody pm poses answers which look much better says The Christiari Science Monitor Taxpayers look at the record billion of crop surpluses and decry the federal subsidies which encourage more surplus es Farmers look at the higher prices and shorter hours of nonfarm producers and point to the 15 per cent decline in farm income since 1958 Aotuahy only onefifth of the farm ers grow crops which come under the pricesupport program and fraction of that fifththe big mechanized growers with low production costsget most of the subfidles In todays economy farmers often work under two disadvantages in relation to other producers They are subject to vagaries of the weather and they can not control prices by controlling supplies Moreover in the last few years better seed fertilizers and machines have revo lutionized many phases of farming 0n tho farm the average productivity has in creased more than in the factory This has left surplus both of land and labor These surplusesland labor and the crops they produceconstitute the farm problem In one sense it is political problem Forpolitleians do notrelish tell ing farmers that there are too many farmersMiiiions have had such hard time they have moved all the land To day itis estimatedthat 1200000 are bare ly scratching out living To deal with this labor surplus logical ly and humaner as welfare problem Congress has put forward one relatively small effortthe rural development pro gram It seeks to help farmers find new lobe on the farm harder mmugh acreage controls and the soil bani Congress sought to reduce the land surplus Its politically safer to tellacres that they are not needed But with extra fertilizer and work devoted to their beR land farmers increased production in the face of acreage cubs Congress under the urging of Secret ary Benson has also tried reducing the level of price supports it tried it with corn this year But farmers made up for the price cut by boosting acreage and production Even so this was move in the rlght direction and on longer trial may prove useful But the truth is that one segment of American agriculture has gone long way toward socialization It is subsidized and controlledbut tbacontrols are in effective Some folk are advocating direct payments to farmers to producethe Brennan Plan Others suggest it would be more logical to make farms public util ity glving each franchise to supply given proportion of what could be co sumed It lhmlld be Pushed more reasonable answerand one in line with American practice in other cas es of economic changewould be to face the hard fact that prices will have to fall if surpluses are to be effectively cur bed Government could meet directly as welfare problem whatever resulted This mimt well be more humane and cheaper than the present encourage ment of surpluses by system which gives little old to runners needing help the most and millions to big growers who need no subsidizing So far we have seen no politician will ing to plilt solutions in these termsin his 1960 program But
