This week the USDA announced that they didnt expect the housewifes food bill next year to be any lower than in 1955. The department sj id that increasing marketing charges will offset any decrease in prices received by farmers for their crops. The Agriculture Department has asked farmers to grow two percent fewer fresh spring vegetables in 1956 than in 1955. In addit'on, the government hopes early commercial spring potato output will be cut by 1 3 percent from last year. Recommendations for spring melon acreage are the same as in 1955. Touring the western half of the country during the past two weeks searching for ideas on how to improve a sagging agricultural economy, the Senate Agricultural Committee heard many farmer complaints that controls are not hitting on all cylinders. And most members of the committee were inclined to agree. Hence, there is a strong possibility that the next session of Congress may attempt a repa'r job. The one-bicomplaint that farmers seemed to have was that crop production is now based on acreage, and it is still possible for for farmers to irrigate, add fertilizer, and use better farppng methods, there by increasing his yield to offset a smaller acre- age. When this is done it creates over supplies, bringing prices down and puts the grower where he was in rhe beginning. They have asked that each farmer lx? put on a production unit basis, or in other words, controls would he n the form of tons, bushels, and so forth. Instead of Farmer Jones having an allotment of 250 fes he would get a quota of, say 3,000 bushels, and then leave it up to Mr. Jones to decide how many acres to plant to be able to produce his alloted bushels. Should he have a would he in it surplus, keep storage under seal, and would be required to keep it off the market, then should he fall short on next years permitted yield he could fall back onto that in storage. Did-y- a know that Utah is becoming a "Tall Corn state, according to recent reports in Farm Journals. Experts agree that 'knew how, proper fertilizing practices, particularly with nitrogen, and proper irrigation practices are essential for big corn yields. They point out that excessive irrigation tends to hasten and exaggerate nitrogen deficienc es. On the other hand, insufficient water will not allow the plants to make the proper use of nitrogen that is present.

Despite this tremendous increase in the scope of govern- ment, many governmental units, not only in Utah but throughout the nation, are attempting to conduct operations with the same tools and techniques that were used fifty years ago, according to the Foundation report.
