Food must be moved into stomachs, not into storage. Taxpayeis should not be loaded with a government storage bill of over half a million dollars a day. So Declared Secretary of Agriculture Benson in his Logan address Saturday. One citizen, after leading the report of his speech, declared: "That one statement explained the entire Administration farm policy to me Everything suddenly was clear. "Why should farmers produce for g storage? What good aie . .. great stores of food, owned by the gov- , ' ernment, with costs of storage and sub- 1 VT , sidy high?

"But we wanted to find out what kind of a farm program was favored by the farmers themselves, by farm organizations, by farm educational leaders and by every segment of the industry," he said. "We were determined to develop a program that would be best for agriculture and fair to all our people. Benson and associates were gratified to learn that a big majority of people wanted a minimum of government control. They wanted government help in research, education and marketing, of course. But they did hot want to be regimented Into a program under which the best they could expect would be to sell their produce at a rigid, artificial, ment-supported price level at the possible "cost of a serious decline in agrarian initiative, resourcefulness and te Churchill still has, In debate, some of his old fire, and he has kept his gift for repartee.
