Under normal conditions, he explained, the difference between the amount of the funds actually made available to Arkansas and the amount of soil payments earned by farmers would be met by the transfer to Arkansas of lunds made available to but. unused by other under the program. This means that unless Congress appropriates a special deficiency fund, fanners of Arkansas a.s well as some olhcr Southern states may be deprived of full payment for soil practices which government encouraged them lo undertake.
