Farm Bureau Gives Summary Of
Senate Farm Support Bill
T. H. Wheat. president of the
Young Cbuntv Farm Bureau, re-
leased the following official news-
letter from his organization yes-
terday! . • < •
FLASH: As we go to press,
word comes from Washington that
the subcommittee has reported the
bill to the full committee, after
striking all reference to production
payments. »
The bipartisan farm price sup-
port bill drafted by a senate agri-
culture subcommittee headed by
Sen. Clinton P. Anderson of New
Mexico, would modify some of the
features of the Agricultural Act
of 1948, preserve other provisions
of that act^and cautiously, permit
the use of production payments
as a method of support for wool,
mohair, tung nuts and non stor-
able potatoes
Supports American Farm Bureau
Stand "
Provision is made for supports'
on basic agricultural commodities
ranging from 75 to 90 per cent cf
-parity, as recommended by thJ
American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion. The bW gears in the support
on corn, wheat, and rice at 102
per cent of normal supply and
gears in cotton and peanuts at 108
per cent of normal,'also recom-
mended by the AFBF.
It provides that, notwithstand-
ing the support of schedule the
dition for the support of storable
commodities through loans, pur-
chases, or other operations. '
The bill would change the sales
policy provision of the 1948 Act
so that Commodity Credit Corpor-
ation may sell at a price equal to
the cuirent support price. It would
also permit CCC to sell all oil
seeds for crushing at less than
support price. The Act of *1948
limits this exception from the
general sales policy to peanuts
The bill authorires the appoint-
ment of an assistant secretary of
agriculture in charge of market-
ing commodities acquired under
price-support programs.
It amends Sec. 32 to provide
that the funds appropriated for
that section shall be used prin-
cipally for perishable commodities.
The hill also provides for inclu-
sion of hired farm labor in calcul-
tion of parity. AFBF support* the
.t0.„year moving average, modern-
ized parity, formula provided in
the 1948 Act.
It provides that support on basic
commodities, except tobacco, shall
be 50 per cent of- parity when
■marketing quotas are voted down.
Milk is given mandatory sup-
port at 75 to 90 per cent of par-
ity as the Secretary of Agricul-
ture considers it necessary tu get
an adequate supply. ■
