Prices, However, Expected
to Average Below High
Levels of 1936.
Larger than average supplies of
all deciduous fruits are in prospect
this year, tlm hureau of agricul
tural economics ttaiil in it 8 cur
rent fruit situation report, and
prices in general are exacted to
average somewhat low er than
those received for the li:tti crops.
With indications of an apple
erop a fifth larger than the l!t:tl
l!a average, the bureuu expects ap
ple prices lo average below the
relatively high juices received for
hist year's small crop but perhaps
slightly higher than those of 10:15.
The larger crop this year is at
tributed to greater production in
some of the principal producing
regions in the central and Atlantic
coast stales. In these two regions
the prospective 1 !;t "7 apple crop
is :tii per cent and 2S per rent
above average, respectively. With
a larger than usual proportion of
the crop in the eastern hair of the
I'nited Slates ami relatively close
to consuming centers, "prices may
hi! expected to average somewhat
lower than if supplies were dis
tributed more normally."
Indications point to a peach crop
a fifth larger than the small crop
of last year hut only slightly larg
er than the 5-year average. Small
er shipments and higher prices
than a year earlier have heen re
ported for peaches arriving from
the southern states. Hat her sharp
price declines are likely to occur,
the hureau pointed out when peach
shipments begin in volume from
the late states.
Conditions on Ju!y 1 pointed to
I he largest pear crop on record.
The largest grape crop since HlUN
also is indicated this year. Lower
prices than last year are expected
for grapes, "although encouraging
factors in the demand situation
are the Increase- iu? the .level of
eotismnersH' incomes.- over 'last
year and relatively small stocks
of raisins and wine."

Crop Control by Processing
Taxes and Payments of
Benefits Provided.
WASHINGTON, July. 21. (API
Chairman Jones ( D, Tex.) of
the houde agriculture 1 committee
proposed recently u new general
farm bill embracing the "ever-normal"
granary and crop production
control rjgures.
The bill, wliich Jones introduce
ed when the house convened,
would use the present soil conser
vation benefit payments and pen
alty processing taxes as machin
ery to effect crop control.
It would Rive the secretnry of
agriculture authority to establish
a marketing quota tor all produc
ers of such products as corn,
w heat, cotton, tobacco and rice,
Farmers who sold more than their
quota would be denied soil conser
vation benefit payments, which
last yar totalled approximately
?tU(l,IMl0.flOU.
When the granary threatened to
over-flow. the secretary would
have authority to establish pioc
essing taxes on the products of
which there was ad oversupply.
The tax would be as follows:
Cotton, two cent.-: a pound; wheal,
ten cents ft bushel; rice, ten cents
a bushel, and 2,r cents a hundred
pounds ou hogs when there Was
an over-supply of hogs.
(Most of the corn cron is mar
keted as hogs.)
The measure contained
provisions of the proposed
cultural adjustment act of
sponsored hy the American
many
Ka cm
Hureau Federation and endorsed in
principle by Agriculture Secretary
Wallace.
It did not contain, however, a
provision for cash payments from
the. treasury to supplement grow
ers' income when Cam prices fall
below the "fair" price level. It
was this provision of the federa
tion bill that drew Jones' objec
tion. Would Dispose of Surpluses
The measure also would estab
lish a fund for the purpose ot dis
posing of surplm; commodities both
at home and abroad. It would give
I he secretary of agriculture au
thority lo file applications on be
half of farmers for adjustment in
freight rates. ,
The measure would direct the
agriculture secretary to fix base
acreages for each Tarm. To be
eligible for soil payments, the
farmer could not plant a larger
acreage. . ,
The total national acreage on
which benefit payments would be
paid:
Cotton. I.r.rnn.ouo; wheat, tl",
lon.iuu); field corn. 1ii2.:im),ihi; rice,
:)2.".au0; flue-cured tobacco. 1,
HM.uut; Maryland tobacco, ISIUMjii;
hurley tobacco, 52ii.(Hin; other to
bacco, ISU.IMHJ.
Surpluses of heavy prod net ton
years would he stored for release
in poor years.
The nmrkeling quota system
would go into efiect when pro
duction exceeded the normal sup
ply anion ut needed for domestic
consumption and granary needs
by the following amounts :
Cotton, 15 per cent; wheat, 2n
per cent; corn, 10 per cent; to
bacco, 10 per cent, and rice, lu per
cent.
The bill would establish a $lno,
uoo.uOu surplus reserve loan cor
poration with authority to lend to
farmers on stored surpluses.
