Senator Aiken of Vermont urged Republicans to avoid outpromising Democrats on farm benefits. He urged Congress to study a soil bank plan from the Benson administration aimed at taking land out of production for grass and trees with acreage payments, warning against inflated promises and advocating a performance based program.
