Soil Bank No Cure-All
TOPEKA The director of the U S Department of Agriculture soil bank division told drought stricken Kansas farmers the soil bank plan will not solve all their problems. Howard J Doggett said the program aided drought areas but did not reduce farm surpluses and USDA hopes to cut averages in 1957 1958 and 1959 with a 200 million bushel wheat reduction this year. He noted reserve acreage payments may be low in 1956 and that rates could change as experience guides policy. The soil bank remains a short term remedy to ease crop surpluses affecting foreign markets.
