Benson To Ask Congress For OK On Soil Bank
WASHINGTON—(U. P.)—Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson will ask Congress to approve a multi-million dollar "soil bank" as part of a 1956 program to give farmers a bigger share of the nation's prosperity.
The farm program also may include a plan limiting the size of federal price support payments to individual farmers.
Mr. Benson announced the program yesterday after it was approved by his special farm advisory commission. He said GOP congressional leaders with whom he has discussed the program received it very favorably.
He said the commission, which advises the administration on farm policy approved five "basic proposals." It also favored the limiting of price support payment to individual farmers, but Mr. Benson said he will make a "further study" of the proposal before including it in his 1056 program.
High administration officials are said to favor some cut-off which would prevent big farm operators from collecting $100,000 a year or more from the Treasury in price support payments.
The five proposals which Mr Benson said will be submitted at the next session of Congress are:
I—The "Soil Bank" plan under which farmers would be paid for diverting land planted in surplus crops to grass and trees. Mr. Benson said the program, which would cost an estimated $400 million the first year, would combine "immediate aid for farmers with a long-range conservation goal to benefit all citizens." Participation would be voluntary.
2—Liberalized farm credit.
3—New ways of disposing of surplus crops including more donations of surplus foods to low-income groups at home and abroad. This plan also provides for expanded foreign marketing and barter programs, heavier spending for surplus perishable products, and stepped-up use of surpluses in school lunchrooms and the Armed Forces.
4—New commodity programs. This would include relaxing controls on corn and wheat which is fed on the farms where it is grown. It envisions reducing cotton surpluses by raising the grade on which price supports are based.
5-Increased spending for research aimed at developing new markets, new crops, and new uses for old crops.

Curious Display Lost And Found
To navigate through the tempestuous foot traffic of this particular house of enlightenment has been a task with which most KU students have been confronted at one time or another.
A curious display adorns a partially hidden nook on the third floor of Fraser Hall.
A student was attracted to one exhibit recently. The entire interior is a mass of spiral notebook, textbooks, textbooks, pairs and half-pairs of gloves, scarves, and head-kerchiefs.
The title of the show case presentation—why of course—"Items found in classrooms may be claimed in Room 304."

God Has Plan, Says Dr. Wilson
In all plains of life—mineral, vegetable, animal, human, and celestial—God has worked accurately, said Dr. Walter L. Wilson, pastor of the Central Bible Church in Kansas City, Mo., in a lecture last night. It was sponsored by the KU Christian Fellowship.
God is accurate in minerals, he said. When one mixes two particular chemicals together, the result is always the same according to God's set plan.
The accuracy of God is prevalent
in the vegetables also. There are always 10 sections in oranges and lemons and 11 in grapefruit, he said.
In similar ways God has planned and is carrying out with accuracy the animal, human, and celestial plains. Anything that is not in accordance with God's plan will not work regardless with what plain it deals.
