a a a Sun. July 12, 1970 Salina Journal Pa 20 Area farmers favor crop payment lids By PAT GASTON Ask 2 farmer about. wheat prices, and chances you'll get a sarcaslic reply something like, "grow wheat and get rich!" It's sarcastic because, Al the prices now being paid by Kansas elevators $1 10 $1.17 a bushel he's probably having A hard enough time just making ends meet. The federal government pays $1.57 per bushel to farmers under the USDA wheat allotment program for wheat consumed domestically. An average of 48 percent of this year's crop will be used in the United States, so farmers will get the $1.57 payment on that much of their total harvest, To many small farmers, this federal aid means the difference between showing a profit or floating another long term Joan.
But many "superfarmers" stale governmenls, banks and corporations holding copious acreages are "getting rich" by raking in huge subsidy payments under the same program. "It's like welfare fund for wealthy people," says Kenneth Boardman, Bennington. The Senate, weighing the program's pros and cons, voted Wednesday to impose a $20,000 annual ceiling on the amount 8 farmer can be paid for not growing crops. The bill is, given a good chance of becoming law, since similar measures have twice been passed in the House. Favor restrictions Although both Kansas sonalors opposed the payment lids, farmers polled in the Salina area were overwhelmingly in favor of the restrictions, although some doubled if they would really much good.
Boardman continued: "They The programs are costing should have done it long ago. too much money, and what W'C I don't think the public should small farmers get oul of it is be paying taxes for people who! just a drop in the bucket.

Payment limit could jar loose new farm legislation By DON KENDALL AP) Some administration farm officials feel this week's Senate approval of limit on payments to individual farmers could help jar; loose House action on new The limit was tacked on to the Agriculture Department appropriations bill for 1970-71. The entire package now goes to a Senate-House conference committee. The House Agriculture for about a year has been considering new farm pro. gram proposals for 1971.
As yet, it has not agreed on an omnibus bill for consideration by the tire House, Agriculture Secretary Clifford M. Hardin has opposed making a payment limit part of an appropriations measure but feels it should be part of a new general farm bill. A lever Now that the Senale has served notice on the House that a $20,000 limit might be in order -Hardin has said he would support a $55,000 lid the move could serve as a lever in getting the House committee in. motion. "It.
points the fact that we have to get some farm legislalion moving," said Deputy Undersecretary William- E. Galcongressional relations official for the department. "In effect, the Senate may be saying to the House to get moving on farm legislaion." Galbraith speculated that quick action by the House Agriculture Committee on its low payment limitation plan could lead to heading off approval of the Senate's $20,000 restriction. Rep. W.
R. Page, committee chairman. while not willing to guess on what over-all effect the Senale move have on general farm legislation, admitted that the $20,000 limit could prod some committee members into action, He said some members have clung to the notion Congress might pass a farm bill this year without a payment limit. The House has twice in recent years approved a $20,000 limit only to have it upended in conierences. "Too low" The $20,000 limitation is said by Hardin and others to be too low and, if applied to present programs, would make inoperable the government's system for taking unneeded land from crop production.
Galbraith shares this view and said this is a reason why quick action is needed soon. Another point is House 1 members are up for re-election this fall. If the $20,000 limit can be identified as a detriment to farm programs or even a possibe effort to wreck or seriously alter existing programs, a vote on its behalf might be hard to explain to rural constituents. Asked if a vole for a $20.000 limit would be 'a campaign issue for farm-belt congressmen this fall, Poage replied: "No it wouldn't. And I think most of them know that." 2 Bumper wheat, corn, sugar beet crops seen in state TOPEKA, Kan.
(AP) The Kansas Crop and Livestock Reporting Service expects bumper crops. of wheat, corn and beets in the state this year. Kansas' sixth largest wheat; production and a record tying per acre yield of corn were fore-: cast Friday.

Anticipated production, be. cause of a reduction in wheat acreage, is bushels, compared to 205.319,000 bushels last year. The expected corn yield is 15 bushels per acre, tying the ord sot in 1968. Total production on the 1,347,000 acres is estimat-; cd at 111,025,000 bushels.

(AP) Atty. Gen. Kent Frizzell, candidate for Republican for governor, said today there is a need for reapportionment of stale road mileage to help the populated cities, as well as lated rural areas, meet growing problems in transportation. Frizzell charged that highway building and maintenance has not been adequately carried out during the last three years, and that increases are needed in this field. Frizzell's remarks were prepared for an appearance here before a group of his supporters.
"The need for more and tor highways is need immedidiately to prepare for the addburden of future traffic, and they would cut down on the rcedless slaughier of human life that has been on the rise in recent years," Frizzell "'It is time that we start getting our money's worth for the taxes we pay to build and maintain these roads." Frizzell outlined a five-point1 program for property tax relief: Making sure we get our money's worth for what we're spending in state government. By introducing spending restraint at all levels of state government, beginning with the governor's budget. By getting more people to share the tax burden by vigorously attracting new business to broaden the tax base. Vigorously campaigning to get federal revenue sharing. -By utilizing those measures found effective in neighboring states with similar problems.

"Yoga "It's another form of yoga," cracked Republican Leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania.
After a while even Sen. J. W. Fulbright, the chief backer of the separale repealer, got into the spirit and tacked with a flurry of clichetwisters. Examples: Dole: I might observe that we! could talk until the cows come home-they were mentioned in the last debate but it probably is not necessary that we have extended debate on this matter.
Fulbright: Talk to the cows? Dole: Until the COWS come home. Fulbright: I have no intention of talking to the crows until the cows come home, whenever that may be. Scott: Or until the chickens come home to roost. 197 on honor roll at Kansas Wesleyan Seniors placed the most dents on the Kansas Wesleyan second semester honor roll. 59 of the 197.
