Dated December 10, 1937. S. J. WEEKES, President. STEFAN DISCUSSES THE COMPULSORY FEATURES OF THE NEW FARM BILL (Continued from page 1.) duction 434,746,000 bushels; South Dakota, 18 counties in southeastern corner, production entire state 45, 748.000 bushels; Nebraska, western and southern part of state, entire state production 83,106,000 bushels, (five year average 223,843,000 bu.); Kansas, 34 counties in northern part, entire state production, 32, 280.000 bushels, (5 year average production, 124,756,000 bushels); 'Missouri, northern half, entire state production, 124,380,000 bu.; Wisconsin, 18 counties in southern part, total production for entire state, 76,864,000 bushels; Indiana, except 18 counties, total state pro duction 209,700,000 bushels; Ohio, western half, total state produc tion, 166,005,000 bushels. The compulsory control scheme for the commercial corn area, will now be reconsidered. The Secre tary of Agriculture allocates a defi nite number of acres of corn pro duction for every farm in the area, and when the compulsory program goes into effect, every farmer in the area is given a marketing quota. Marketing quota means the amount corn that a farmer is permitted to sell, exchange, give awTty or feed to livstock and poultry. The mar keting quota becomes effective when the national supply has reached 2,900,000,000 bushels of corn. If a corn farmer produces more than his marketing quota, the excess production must be placed in storage and under seal in a suitable corn crib subject to the instruction from the Secretary. The farmer is not allowed to sell, exchange, give away or feed any of the corn placed under seal. If he does not have a sititdble granary or corn crib in which to place the surplus corn, he muUt build one at his own expense according to gov ernment specification. Now, we come to the part of the program where the penalty provi sions begin to operate. Should a 1 farmer himself running short of ' silage and field corn for his hogs and cattle, he would be penalized at the rate of 15 cents per bushel if he broke the seal on his corn crib 1 and fed some o^ the stored corn to { his starving animals. The same penalty would apply should he dis pose of his corn in any manner, and the penalty would be collected by a suit in the United States district court under the direction of the At torney General at Washington. In addition to being compelled to pay the penalty through legal process, the corn farmer would also lose his benefit payment under the Soil Conservation Act. It might be well to mention that every farm will be inspected and corn measured or weighed, in the silos and cribs, by representatives from the depart ment of Agriculture. More than 1,000,000 farms are in the commer cial area producing corn. If the corn farmer lives up to the program outlined for him by the Secretary of Agriculture, he will receive 10 cents per bushel benefit payment on the average production (.10 bushels to the acre) and such other subsidies as Congress may .see fit to appropriate. The Congressman states that he is joining others to do everything in his power to eliminate any dis crimination in this compulsory corn control program and he is being joined by other members who feel that a program can be adopted without serious danger of regi mentation and compulsory control. Two separate and distinct farm bills have been debated in Congress. The one which has been debated in the Senate is much different from the one being debated in the House. Both Houses will-pass some kind of a farm bill, then these bills will go to a conference committee com posed of members of the House and Senate. It will be in this confer ence where the real battle begins. There will have to be comprimises on muny of the sections before this conference committee comes to some kind of agreement. Then the confrees’ report comes to the House and Senate for approval or disap proval. By this it is indicated that the farm bill has a long and rocky road to travel before it is finally whipped into shape and made a law of our land. BRIEFLY STATED Mrs. J. W.

SCHULZ STORE Phone 83-W oneill, nebrask * We Deliver Farmers Paid Hog Processing Tax The corn-hog farmers in the Third Nebraska district should know now who really paid the pro cessing tax on hogs. They paid it. That is now officially admitted by the Department of Agriculture. This was brought out in no uncer tain terms in the lengthy discussion on the pending farm bill. Several members brought out conclusive evidence to substantiate this state ment. Time and again hog pro cessing taxes came up in the dis cussion. For some time the De partment led the public to believe that the consumers paid this tax until the Triple A was found un constitutional. The Department’s report was brought into the debate. This report for 1937 states that the farmer paid the processing tax on hogs, rice, sugar beets and sugar cane. On page 19 of the depart ment’s report the following lan guage was quoted to the members: “The evidence presented in the foregoing analysis indicates that the direct effect of the hog pro cessing tax was to cause prices received by the hog producers to be lower than they otherwise would have been by approximately the amount of the tax. The evidence indicates moreover, that process ors of hogs and distributors and consumers of hog products were not materially effected by the tax. Although prices received by hog producers w6re lowered by the tax, the funds derived from the tax were returned to the producers in the form of benefit payments. Such payments, added to the returns from the sale of hogs, resulted in a total income for hog producers, as a group of abgut the same amount as would have been the J case had no tax been in effect. These conclusions are based solely on the study of the direct effects of the processing tax, without con sideration of the effeefs of the pro duction — adjustment program.” This ends the argument which has been going on in our district for many months and which is an answer to many, many inquiries re i eeived in the congressional office on the hog processing tax question. It is said that $25,000,010,000 has vanished from the valua of American securities during the past two months and someLody wants to know where it is.# Per haps it has gone into the “kitty” cf the New Deal. ■II ——■.—■ Truckers: ATTENTION When you come to Norfolk Sale stop at Omaha Cold Storage F’lant for c arload prices oq Linseed Oil Meal, Cotton Cake, Soy Bean Oil Meal.
