Proposed Farm Bill Compromise
Would Cut Price Supports On Some
Crops, Increase Them On Others
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. UP)
Senators learned Saturday a
proposed compromise farm bill
v ould lower existing government
price supports-lor wneat, corn,
cotton, peanuts and most grains,
Offsetting these, however.
would be higher government pri.
uoors unaer oeei, nogs, lamns,
milk, butterfat, wool and other
commodities.
The changes In levels of gov
ernment supports would result
from a new parity formula In
cluded in the compromise bill
worked out by Senator Anderson
(D-NM), former secretary of agri
culture. Parity is a standard for measur
ing farm prices, designed to give
the farmer a purchasing power
equal to that of a previous favor
able period.
Anderson's compromise bill has
been approved by a seven-member
agriculture subcommittee. It s
scheduled for action by the full
1 -J-member larm legislative group
this week.
Agriculture department experts
have supplied senators with a
comparison between existing sup
portsat 90 per cent of the pres
ent parity formula and those for
next year under the proposed re
vised system.
Compared with existing sup
ports which the House has voted
to continue another year wheat
would be down 10 cents a bushel,
corn 5 cents lower, and cotton
down 1.36 cents or $4.80 for a
500-pound bale.
On the other side, the Senate
bill would suDDort lambs at .14 in
a hundredweight higher, beef cat
tle up $3.70 and hogs $1.60 higher.
Whole milk suoDorts would he
up 58 cents or more a hundred.
weignt and butterfat 7i cents
higher a pound.
unaer tne senate bill the gov-
rrnmeni supports would be Ilex-
mie so mat alter the first few
years they could be lowered for
cotton, wneat, rice, peanuts, corn,
milk and butterfat to 75 per cent
of parity.
On Irish potatoes, wool, mohair
and tune nuts the support could
drop as low as 60 per cent.
And on most other crops the
support level could vary from 90
per cent to nothing, depending
upon the secretary of agriculture.

Rushing The Season?
We sold a couple truck loads
of UMPQUA SHEEP CUBES
last week. Right off hand, that
might seem like rushing the
season. But, when a sheep gets
hungry Is time to feed him.
Iffn you don't, you're the one
who will lose money. All the
poor sheep will lose is his life.
This Is more'n likely the long
est dry spell the Editor has seen
In 21 years as a "mossback."
The moss is lying up. and the
webs In our toes shrinking, lust
like the sheen pastures. Even if
it rains tomorrow, it will be some
time before pastures amount to
much, though the moss and webs
will Improve immejit.
There Is an old saving, proved
by centuries of experience: "An

men who are starting to feed
their sheep now have seen this
prove out, and are smart in
taking advantage of our bargain
