NF0 Attacks Farm Bureau Proposals WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. - Gin -The National FarmersOrganlza tlon today attacked Farm Bureau proposals, describing them as "a low blow for farmers." The NTO is part of a solid front of 18 farm organizations opposing Farm Bureau proposals, Oren Lee Staley, NFO president, told house agriculture committee hearings. The Farm Bureau help ing farmers, he said, Is like hav ing a fox guard the chicken coop. The Farm Bureau proposals calling for support prices not to exceed 85 per cent of the average previous three years "would low er the support price of corn ap proximately 16 cents per bushel the first year, or down to about 83 cents per bushel," Mr. Staley told the committee. "It would drop each year thereafter," he said. The Farm Bureau plan would drop support prices on soybeans 21 cents per bushel to approxi mately $2.04 per bushel, Mr, Staley said. Prices on other com modities would follow the same pattern, he said. Mr. Staley also attacked Farm Bureau proposals for massive land retirement, "Land retire ment programs would severely affect rural businesses because the payment per acre would be low, thus cutting down rural In come," he said. "And with en tire farms being taken out of production. It means farm oper ators would disappear as custom ers for rural businesses. The farmers of this nation are going to be shocked when they realize the full impact of the Farm Bur eau proposals," Mr. Staley said. "Farmers are not going to sup port the Farm Bureau philosophy and programs.'1 , Mr. Staley presented the NFO 's farm program, the "Farmers Self-Determinatlon Farm Pro gram," "Under this program," he said, "farmers would vote by commodities each year and de cide what level of support they want and would produce accord ing to he programs they voted for. Farmers would not vote fora low support price level which would mean almost unlimited production more than once," Mr, Staley said. "This program would assist bargaining efforts In agri culture, one of NPO's main ob jectives," he said. WEEECLY Bobby Chappell Is Charged With Shooting Into Home Judge W.
