"We know in America that if we want something we pay for it and we get it," Dr. Dinwoodie commented. "When we wanted ships we paid for them, so we1 got them. The same thing applies to farm production." He said he believed the subsidy program will provide the incentive necessary to get farmers to r produce pro-duce an adequate supply of foods needed most in the war without raising the cost of farm products to such, an extent that the sen tire cost of living level might be seriously ser-iously affected. Discussing other phases of the 1943 farm program, Dr. Dinwoodie said that a "splendid response" from farmers to the farm mobilization mobili-zation signups for needed crops indicates that "if we fail to reach our goals, it won't be because of the intentions or lack of desire by farmers to fulfill them." "Many farmers have members of their families up there taking it," he said. "They are determined to do their best to bring them back." He said there is a steady movement move-ment from production of non-war-to war crops in Utah and throughout through-out the nation but "there is no evidence that the trend will go so far as to oause a dislocation of agriculture. If we tell the farmers what we need, each farmer can be relied upon to follow a sound program pro-gram in producing those needed crops which he can produce best."

"The bonus payments are set up as an incentive for farmers to reach or exceed their goals on the crops most urgently needed in the war effort," Dr. Dinwoodie said. "This will be the first time that the federal farm program has used this particular type of production stimulus." The Sugar beet bonus payment will be in 'addition to the regular price paid producers for their su-j su-j gar beets, he explained.
