FORM BILL: Senate last week
passed the agriculture appropria-
tions bill, voting $716,779,000 for
the Agriculture Department for
the 1954 fiscal year. That's about
$20,500,000 below appropriations
for the current year.
The bill provides $195,000,000
for payments to farmers carrying
out soil conservation practices.
The administration had asked
$140,000,000 for this purpose.
Wre were able to get the lend-
ing authority of the REA for the
year 1954 increased from 30 mil-
lion dollars—as provided in the
House bill—to 45 million. Lending
authority for rural telephones was
raised to 67 million from the 50
million provided in the House
measure. These sums will be used
only for loans, of course—and the
co-ops have an excellent record of
repayment.
WHEAT PRICES: Wheat led a
sharp downturn in commodities
last week. Prices tumbled to some
of the lowest levels in three years.
Prospect is that this summer’s
harvest will pile up a surplus of
over 700 million bushels. As this
is written, legislation is planned
to set the minimum planting al-
lotment for next year at 66 mil-
lion acres. Without passage of this
legislation, plantings would have
to be reduced to 55 million acres.
This might lead to growers dis-
approving marketing quotas and
thus losing high level price sup-
port.
COTTON QUOTAS: Drastic cut-
backs in cotton acreage in Texas
and several other states would be
prevented by passage of legisla-
tion introduced in the House last
week.
This legislation would base acre-
age allotments on average produc-
tion for the last three years, would
limit reduction to 25 per cent in
any state. The present formula
would compel an overall cutback
of 39 per cent in Texas.
COTTONSEED: Farm Secretary
Benson has expressed reluctance
about continuing price support pro-
gram for cottonseed. The present
program supports cottonseed at
90 per cent of parity, the same lev-
el at which wheat, corn, tobacco,
rice, peanuts and cotton are sup-
ported. But the law only permits
—does not require—support for
cottonseed.
About half the products from
last year's cottonseed crop are said
to have been turned over to the
government under the support pro-
gram. Included in the govern-
lion pounds of cottonseed
That's almost as much as is used
in food products in a year’s time.
FARM FACT: Report on the
Farm Census of 1950 has just
been issued. It shows that, when
the census was taken. Texas had
331,567 farms. That was 86.435
fewer than in 1940. But this small-
er number of farms took in 7,-
705.642 acres more than the larg-
er number of 1940—for a total of
145.389,014 acres.
NEWS BRIEFS: Reciprocal Trade
Act extension for one year was
approved last week by the House.
Approval in the Senate is expected
this week.
Thanks to my friend, Carl Estes,
dynamic publisher and business-
man, for an invitation to a mam-
moth' East Texas fish fry at Carl’s
place near Longview on Saturday,
June 27. Wish I could be there.
Rev. and Mrs. Everett Y. Seale
of Beeville were Washington visit-
ors last week. Rev. Seale, pastor
of the First Methodist Church at
Beeville, opened one of our Senate
sessions with prayer.
Texas State Society honored
Gene Autry at our annual barbe-
cue Saturday. June 20. Gene, a
native of Tioga, in Grayson Coun-
ty. is as fine a fellow personally
as he is popular in the entertain-
ment world.
Democratic Floor Leader Sam
Rayburn told the House last week
that Democrats want to cooperate
with the President. Said Mr. Ray-
burn: This present administration
needs more non-partisan help than
any administration we have ever
had.
Action on the Continental Shelf
bill was listed last week as “must”
legislation by Senator Knowland,
Republican leader in the Senate.
