With the new Congress les3
than a week old it already is
apparent that Secretary oil
Agr culture Ezra Benson has
as many troubles as anyone
in Washington.
He starts out with a pre
dominantly Democratic Con
gress that is sure to oppose
his farm plans and, in gen
eral, make 1959 anything but
■a happy year for him.
Pigs and politics will be
the pi me pal cause of his
woes There will be too much
of botn And, as if tint weio
not enough, he’ll have too
much wheat, corn, cotton, to
bacco and a few other sur
pluses
Dm mg the past yea*- Ben
son p *id farmers almost a
billion and a half dollars fdr
farming practices principal
ly designed to hold down pro
Uuclion Farmers, instead,
produced bumper crops 11 7>
larger than the picvious re
cord on the smallest acreage
in 80 years
The Bulging Budget
Benson believes that the
costs of government farm
progiams are too high and
that Congress should take
steps to reduce them But,
ne concedes, he hasn’t much
chance of reducing costs un
til the farm laws are chang
-ed.
