Small Growers Will Be Aided (Continued From One) per cent above this point, or more than 15,300,000 bales, cotton growers will vot? on the question of applying a. reductipri program.

The program will go into two-thirds ol the growers voting approve. Under this program a. production "goal" of .10,000,000 bales would be set ijp for this year.

(The Amendment wfts. inserted in the bill at Insistence of dairy states. It declares thpt farmers who divert, acreage from cotton, wiieat, corn, rice 01 tobacco shall refrain from using the Innd to produce dairy any livestock.

If farmers put their land to such use, they be deprived of federal benefits). Senator McGIl! (D-Kan) and other administration leaders contend the provision would require officials check on every chicken nnd pig on every cooperative farm before paying benefits. "It would be Impossible to enforce," the Kansan said. Southerners on the conference committte said the rigid provision was contrary to the federal farm policy of encouraging southern farmsrs to grow more feed and food on their land. "it js absolutely ridiculous." Mc- Qill said.

"If a farmer planted alfalfa, to improve diverted land, the amendment would prohibit his use ot this for feeding livestock."
