J .ri. iJU, TJWTSt Invoke Penalty For Soil Bank Act Violations LINCOLN Farmers should fully understand that a civil pen alty may be imposed upon an producer who knowingly and willingly violates provisions of the soil bank's acreage reserve program. "The violation drawing the penalty is for knowingly and willfully grazing or harvesting any crop from any acreage in violation of a soli bank agree ment or contract," states Wil fred Nelson, chairman of the Nebraska Agriculture Stabiliza tion and Conservation commit tee. Authority for imposing a civil penalty lor certain, violations of an acreage reserve agreement is coiuerred under section 123 of the Soil Bank Act, Nelson added. "The amount of the civil pen alty is 50 per cent of the com pensation which would havo beta payable lor compliance with the agreement. The penalty is in addition to any amount re quired to be forfeited or refund ed under the provisions ot tne agreement." Nelson explained that a civil penalty violation could take place irom wniiuiiy grazing or harvesting any crop from any acreage uesignated as the acre age reserve and, also, lrom har vesting acreage in excess oi iho acreage permitted for harvest. The "acreage permitted ior har vest" would be the allotment for the crop covered by the agreement less the acreage des ignated for the soil bank acre age reserve.

Country Editors Give Grass Root Look To Congress Senator Carl T. Curtis today commented on a recent poll tak en of 704 country newspaper ed itors from all areas of the Uni ted States on important issues facing the Congress today. The poll, participated in by Nebras ka editors, gives what Curtis describes as a "good reflection of grass roots opinion. On foreign, aid, 63 per cent of the editors advocated less aid, 6 per cent advocated more, and 26 per cent advocated aid at the current rate. 43 per cent of the editors want the soil bank left "as is"; 33 per cent want It extended; and 22 per cent want it eliminated. 53 per cent of the editors opposed Federal aid for school construction and, in the North Central States which includes Nebraska, 57 per cent of the editors oppose aid for school construction. When asked if Congress should apply a 2 billion dollar budget cut to tax reduction or retire ment of the national debt, 70 per cent of the editors favored debt retirement. Local Boys Finish . Marine Basic Trainng Byron Finnefrock, son of Mrs Sadie Finnefrock and Dale Schi- ber, son of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Schiber of this city, have com pleted their basic training in the marine corps and are ex pecting to go to Camp Pendel- ton, Calif., where they will re ceive a course of specialized iraimng. They expect to complete this course in the next few weeks and receive furloughs home with their families and friends before being assigned to active duty in May. Both of the young men are graduates of the class of 1954 of the local high school, where they were close pals and been able to be together so far on their military career. They like the service very much although they are await ing the day when they can enjoy a visit "back home." FA KM INCOME U. S. farm income- last year totaled $11,836,000,000 an in crease of four per cent over that for the previous year, according to the Agriculture Department. Critics of the Eisenhower Ad ministration, however, using an other set of figures, fixed farm income at $11,586,000,000 about eight-tenths of one per cent be low another estimated total for 1955. 4-H, Conservation and and Related Activities Published Every Wheat Parity Price Protest Sent To Ezra Wheat state Congressmen Sat urday vigorously protested Agri culture Secretary Ezra T. Ben son's cut in wheat price sup ports. Two Democrats called on President Eisenhower to fire him. Friday ' Benson proclaimed continuance of federal market ing quotas on wheat in 1953. He also cut the crop's price support value to $1.78 per bu shel, compared to the 1956 and 1957 price of $2 or about 75 per cent of parity, as compared to 80 per cent in the two for mer years. This means the cut in the crop's price support value has been dropped an equivalent of 198 million dollars or more. Growers would be limited, as during the past four years, to the planting of 55 million acres free of penalties under legisla tion designed to hold down pro duction in times of surpluses. The country has an extra year's supply, most of lt In govern ment surplus stocks. Nebraska's 1958 allotment was set at 3,228,377 acres, slightly below the 3,234,827 acres allotted for 1957. On the basis of a below aver age harvest of 850 million bu shelsroughly the amount to be expected under present farm programs the crop would have an aggregate support value of about $1,513,000,000 compared with 1,700,000,000 at the $2-a-bushel rate. Support rates great ly influence market prices. To become operative, the mar keting quotas must be approved by at least two-thirds of the growers voting in a referendum to be held June 20 in 36 desig nated commercial wheat produc ing states. The 22-cent-a-bushcl reduction in the support rate came as a surprise. There had been specu lation in farm circles that, in view of a reduction in surplus es this year, there would be little change from the current rate. Rep. George S. McGovern (D-SD) wrote Eisenhower de nouncing Benson's proposal as "irresponsible." He said it will mean a loss of more than $150, 000,000 in income to the na tion's wheat farmers next year. A similar demand was made by Rep. Mervin Coad (D-Ia.). Coad sugggested that Eisenhow er replace Benson with former Rep. Clifford Hope (R.-Kan), one-tine chairman of the House Agriculture Committee. Joining in the criticism of Ben son were Reps. J. Floyd Breed ing (D-Kan), William H. Avery (R-Kan), and Otto Krueger (R ND).
