of the food dollar is at its lowest
in 15 years.
“The latest figures (September
1955) show that only 40 cents out
of every dollar the housewife
spends for food goes to the farmer
who produced that food,” Butler
said in a speech prepared for a
Democratic meeting. He added
that in 1952, the last year of the
Truman administration, “farmers
received 47 cents out of every food
dollar, which is 15 per cent more
than they are receiving today
under the Republicans "
Butler suggested that Congress

“We could much better use these
funds for roads, veterans, public
health or increasing old age bene-
fits,” Longer said. "That five bil
lions is four times a* much aid
as we now give under all the farm
programs With farm income at
low levels, we must give that at-
tention first.”
If the five -billion-dollar request
is passed along to Congress by

has been toward reducing foreign
