miiuvt income for the wheat
farmer has been a major object
ive in considering revised federal
wheat legislation.
Horning presented figures
comparing the increase in indus
trial hourly wages since 1930
with the rise in w heat prices dur
ing the same period. He pointed
out that, while the industrial
wage index has risen by 3fi5.
wheat prices reflect only a 214
Increase over the past 35 years.
A keynote address was given
by Congressman Graham Purcell
(D., Tex.), wheat subcommittee
chairman on the House commit
tee on agriculture. Purcell re
viewed the passage and results
to date of the 1964 wheat-cotton
program, and speculated on the
outlook for 1963 legislation.
'The Agricultural Act of 1964
was the result of a long, tough
battle," he said. Without the ac
tive support of President John
son and Agriculture Secretary
Freeman he asserted, there
would have been no new wheat
legislation during the year.
"In that case," Purcell stated,
"Instead of experiencing a very
small decline in income from
your 1964 crop as compared with
1963, you would have experienc
ed the sharpest decline in wheat
income since the 1930"s."
