Following passage June 28 of a "clean"
Agricultural Appropriations Bill, the running
wrangle over what payment limitation wift
be applied to farm programs in >4*74 and
thereafter shifted back to the House, according
to Donald Johnson, Executive Vice President
of Plains Cotton Growers, Inc.
"Had the Senate tacked a $20,000 per person
payment limit onto the appropriations bill,
asdid the House, Johnson said, the battle
as far as this particular issue was concerned
would have been over. .
The respective Senate and House
appropriations bills will now go to conference
committee where farm leaders have high hopes

ta The Houston Its money bill not only attached
a low-level payment limit but also adopted
amendments that would have prohibited sale
and lease of acreage allotments from farm
to farm and would nave blocked the already
authorized annual transfer of $10 million from
Commodity Credit Corporation to Cotton In-
corporated for cotton research and promotion.
The Senate's action in voting an appro-
priations bill without such ammendments,
Johnson continued, ' doesn t get us out of
the woods by any means, but does leave
open for further efforts toward a

Shortstop Larry Murillo, who collected two
of his team's four runs, Noe Reyna and Phil
Kirkendall all scored twice for the Braves.
Kennedy Coleman and Mark Hamersley touched
home plate twice for the Yankees. Second
baseman Gary Jones keyed the Yankees'eight-
run outburst in the second with a two-run
double.
DEADLOCK FOR FOURTH
Mike Chatham threw a three inning no-hitter
at the Indians and slugged two home runs
to pace Dodgers to a 13-0 verdict over Indians.
The two clubs tied for fourth place.
One of Chatham's home runs was the third
grand slam of the season. The other blast
accounted for three runs. Robbie Long,
Kevin Hogan, Chatham and Robert Garcia
all scored two Dodger runs.
Southpaw Bo Brantley made his first start
of the season and shut down the hard-hitting
Dodgers in the first inning. Jeff Young
relieved in the second ana Hector Ozuna
came on the third. John Harvey caught for
the McAdoo team, which has polished off
top clubs late in the season.
Conda Maze was the Dodger catcher.
UMPIRES SALUTED
Chief Umpire Paul Gilbreath and his
assistant, Bill Odom, received standing
ovations from the crowd. The men called
this year's games without pay.
Dodgers, another fast closing team, con-
tributed 11 of the league's 23 home runs
for the year, according to President Don
Ferree. Chatham was the home run king
with seven, followed closely by Kelly Ferree
with five. Joe Ray Fire, Conda Maze and
Robert Garcia each poled two round-trippers.
Maze ana Garcia were Dodgers.

Soon after the July 4 Congressional recess,
probably on July 10 or 11, the House is
expected to take up the omnibus farm bill
reported from the House Agriculture Com-
mittee. The committee bill carries a pay-
ment lid of $37,500 per crop per farmer under
each of the cotton, feed grain. and wheat
sections. Maintaining this limit level against
anti-farm program forces on the House floor
is the next bighurdle for agricultural interests.
The Senate on June 8 voted a farm bill
limiting total payments under all three pro-
grams to $20,000.
"Assuming the no-limit aspect of the Senate
appropriations measure is upheld in
conference, and if we can pass the farm
bill in the House with a limitation higher
than the $20,000 per person imposed by the
Senate," Johnson reasons, "we will have a
fair chance to salvage something in the farm
bill conference committee."
The House committee bill also contains
language that would require a higher Com-
modity Credit Corporation loan for cotton than
would the Senate's bill, another feature sought
by PCG.

A report on two history-
making grain movements
If Finances

BACKTOBACK
Summer is a
Prime Time to
JL«The huge export grain movement
(Santa Fe can report "mission accomplished" for
moving its share of grain to Russia —just one phase
of the big export job!)
2t« The largest winter wheat harvest
in history along the Santa Fe
(Now getting underway)
Moving millions of bushels of grain is a big job. To move it in a limited
time period while the economy is booming and all shippers calling
for more cars and service, makes these huge transportation projects
• BACKBREAKER. "
Santa Fe is setting records meeting current demands for service.but no
backs are being broken. For example, since last August Santa Fe has
moved over 150,000 carloads of grain, a 50% increase in shipments.
That's a staggering amount, but it's only part of the story,
With no prior notice to the rail industry to make special preparations,
the Russian grain movement of 400-MILLION bushels was announced
last year with a completion deadline of May 31, 1973. At the same
time even many more millions of bushels were also being exported
to other nations.
What Santa Fe did. Starting with a transportation system in excellent
condition. Santa Fe people put their "know how" and all facilities 7n
full throttle position.
2,000 new jumbo covered hopper cars were added to bring Santa Fe's
fleet to 12,000, the largest in the rail industry.
4,100 smaller covered hopper cars were drafted for use, too, as well as
regular box cars. Open-top hoppers not normally used for grain were
also employed. In addition 64 new diesels are now hard at work mov-
ing the record traffic volume.
Even with all of this, special measures were worked out at considerable
expense to the Santa Fe for handling cars to minimize port congestion
and keep the railroad fluid.
Santa Fe can report "mission accomplished" for handling its share of
the grain to Russia, and we still have other export grain to move, but
the big job now ahead is moving this year's harvest.
Largest wheat harvest along the Santa Fe, 687-MiLUON bushels
The harvest extends from Texas, across Oklahoma, Kansas, Into
Colorado and New Mexico. It is already started. It Is a vast project and
the Santa Fe job is to move the wheat to elevators during the brief pe-
riod of harvest time.
What Santa Fe is striving for principally is more efficient car utilization,
faster yard operations and the best possible use of locomotives to move
the grain while keeping all freight rolling.
It's a job that can't be done without the help of everyone in the grain
industry and cooperation of all shippers. With everyone working fogether,
two of the greatest moves iver recorded in the history of rail transpor-
tation will be accomplished ... the huge multi-million bushel export
grain movement and the largest harvest in history along the Santa Fa.
Two "BACKBREAKERS." back-to-back, with Santa Fe putting Its best
efforts Into getting the jobpone.
