President Allan B. Ktinp of the American Farm Bureau Federation told the National Editorial Association here. The pvopnim of farm income proposed recently by Secretary of Agriculture Brannan "varies -so from the position of the American Farm Bureau that we have no choice to oppose it." Mr.

Kline 104 Farms in Wyoming Mountains Offered for Homestead Settlement One hundred and four Individual farm units of about 130 acres each have been opened for hometsead -settlement on the Heart Mountain Division of Bureau of Kei-ta- matlon's Hhoshone project in northwestern Wyoming, according to K. F. Vernon of Billings. director of Bureau's Region Six. Included in (he opening, the third on this division since the end of world War II.

are acres of irritable land. The average farm unit contains 116 acres of irrigable land and about 15 acres of non- Irrigable land suitable for pasture and other purposes. Veterans of World War II arc given 'irelerence of application. Applications for the Irrigable farms received by the superintendent of the Shoshone Project at Cody, 'by p.m..

It l.i desicned to protect farm income from collapse and to avoid unnecessary regimentation, controls and Interference with the fanners' to work out their own programs Individually and collectively." Consumers who think the Brannan program would assure cheap and farmers who think It would nssnre continuance of wartime income levels "had belter take another look before they buy Ihe bill of giorls offered by the Brannan proposn'," Mr. Kline said. "Nothing in onr analysis so far changes the first Impression that it Is a r.olif,ical move.

When farmers lire promised high prices and consumers cheap food on the same at the same time, there probably is a catch somewhere. In jj this cise. the sleight-of-hand is control. Tentative studies indicate that there were only two years (1947 and 1848) out of the last when total cash farm income was as high as the Incoms support standard proposed by Scc- Brannan. "This means that the program promises to continue, by government administered prices.

While, if applied at the present time, thus program sounds like a high-priced program. It Is well for farmers to apply It to conditions which have existed and see what its meaning might be.

Hail It been in effect over the past 28 years. Ihe income support standard would have been below actual cash farm Income In 19 of the year.s. 191(1 Figure! Quoted For example. In 1939, not a prosperous year, the standard called for a cash farm income of approximated 6.9 billion dollars. The actual cash farm Income was 7.9 billion dollars.

In 1939 It would have been necessary to increase farm prices by 31 percent to have had them equal parity as now figured. Farm prices 13 percent lower would have eqiuled' the proposed Income stand- iird. "This suggests that it would certainly be unwise for farmers to ylrade the. program developed over period ol years lor this precarious and untried income standard. Although It is high now, history indicates that it Is apt lo be a boom- The Brannan program, in the Copies of the public notices, application forms and detailed information about the opening may be -secured from the regional director's office, R.
