Treatment
Tired Of Being Held Up
To Scorn At To Price
Support, Leader Says
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-WP)
A spokesman lor potato farmers
tola congressmen from potato-
producing states last week that
the growers are "tired of being
whipping boys for the farm price
support program."
W. M. Case of Grand Forks,
N. D., executive secretary of the
Red River Valley Growers as
sociation and member of the Na
tional Potato council's legislative
committee, told the potato bloc:
"We are tired of being held
up to public scorn as the recipi
ents of so many millions of dol
lars without any credit at all for
the growers' own efforts over a
period of three years to reduce
costs.
The record clearly shows that
potato growers, on the whole,
have done almost exactly what
the government has requested of
them under programs that have
been In effect."
The meeting was called by
Senator Brewster RMe), chair
man of the Informal congression
al group from potato states, to
aiscusa a threat mandatory price
supports might be withdrawn
from potatoes, the only perish
able crop In the price support
program.
Chairman Pace (D-Ga) of a
House agriculture subcommittee
Creviously called a hearing on his
ill to Institute production and
marketing restrictions on pota
toes and to prescribe penalties
for violators of such controls.
Grower representatives opposed
the measure, saying they had
not had time to study It.
Oppon Changs Now
They urged that potatoes be
left alone for the present sup
ported at 60 percent of parity
and with acreage goals set by
the secretary of agriculture. Pari-

It's Soon Too Lot
Do you have an unsightly
patch of blackberry brambles, a
fence row grown up with poison
oak, brush patches taking up
your farm land, or stumps that
are growing up again? Why not
get rid of them for keeps?
Use 2-4-D for some of the
easiest weed patches, like wild
morning glories, Canadian this
tles. Use 2-43-T for blackberry
brambles. But for all-round shot
gun treatment that gets blame
near even-thing, get ZEHRUNG
BRUSH KILLER. And get It at
the Flour MllL
The manufacturers claim con
trol of such pests as alder, Cot
tonwood, poison oak, Scotch
broom, wild rose, (sweet brier),
and others. It Is economical, easy
to apply, non-corrosive to metal
spraying equipment, non-poisonous
to livestock or humans, and
does not constitute a fire hazard.
That's saying a lot for one
product.
Should be sprayed on. If you
have big patches, an orchard
spray rig Is your best bet. If
only small patches, rent our
power sprayer, If you can get
electricity to It. Otherwise a
hand sprayer.
But remember, this killer does
its best work before plants be
come dormant. Get it first time
you come to town. Of course, you
are busy. Who Isn't? But vou
can save enough good fertile
land for crops instead of brush
heaps to pay for several davs

Pace said that the current pro
gram benefits non cooprrators
more than cooperators and is
costing the government "unjusti

culture department estimates the
potato support program will cost
between $50 and $100 million
this year.
This, he said, could endanger

amounts to the equivalent of In

Compromise On
Farm Program
Offered Brannan
WASHINGTON. Aug. 6-P
A bi-partisan Senate group today
offered Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan a compromise model of
his new farm program. They ex
pected the administration farm
leader to back It.
If he doesn't, senators said, he
nrobably will get a farm plan
that he has publicly branded as
much worse.
Brannan was invited to a closed-door
session of a seven-man
agriculture subcommittee head
ed by Senator Anderson (D-NMl,
who proceeded him as Secretary
ot Agriculture.
After much tugging and haul
ing, Anderson has achieved
agreement among disputing sen
ators for a new farm program
that appears to pick up a few
suggestions from all opposing
camps.
It would continue through next
year government price supports
on corn, wneat, cotton, tobacco,
rice and peanuts the so-called
basic crops at near the present
and wartime levels.
It would do the same thing for
a long list or non-naslc crops that
can be stored, such as oats, bar
ley, rye, meats, outter ana simi
lar products.
lUwould allow Brannan under
numerous limitations to try out
"production payments" on non
basic crops that are perishable
probably fresh vegetables, or
anges, grapefruit, and other
fresh fruits.
;t would put into operation a
"flexible price support" plan
similar to the one Congress de
cided last year to set going In
1950. But the price supports
would be higher.
Unless the Senate, House and
Administration can agree on a
compromise, the flexible price
support act voted last year to
operate next year goes Into ef
fect. The Boston Museum of Fine
Arts' collection of Chinese and
Japanese sculpture is the most
important outside of Tokyo.

New Record Corn Crop Looms To
Crowd Huge Carry-Over From '48
CHICAGO UP) In the mid
west corn Is busting out all over.
Another national crop in ex
cess of three billion bushels the
fourth In history appears as
sured. There Is a good possible :y
the crop will set an all-time record
for the second year In a row.
Some sections of the country
have poorer prospects than a year
ago notably the northeastern
states, where a long spring
drought dried up moisture reserve
in the soil. But the crop is In
splendid condition In the main
midwest producing belt.
Latest estimates on the crop
range from 3,560,000,000 bushels,
made by C. M. Galvin of the grain
iirm of James Bennett and
Company, to 3,750,000,000 bushels,
made by H. J. Gramllch. general
agricultural agent of the Chicago

Secy. Brannan Sees Threat
To Dairying Industry
JUNEAU, Wis. (X Dairy
farmers are not going to get ade
quate price protection and con
sumers are not going to get the
dairy products they need under
the farm bill recently selected by
the House of representatives,
aairymen were tola nere.
Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan passed on this prophecy in
a speech in the heart of the mid
west's dairyland. He criticized
the House for rejecting his own
iarm plan.
The House measure, said Bran
nan, which would continue pres
ent iarm price supports tor an
other year, would assure dairy
men an average of only $3.53 for
iiiu pounas oi mux. This :s a
level "so unrealistic" that it has
little meaning, he told members
of dairy co-operatives at their
annual picnic.
His own plan, aimed at higher
farm Income and cheaper food,
would support milk prices at an
average oi yi.ii.
