I h i si; Tribune Pages 1-6 Surplus Potatoes Dumped Under U.S. Support Program Washington, Apr. 6 (U.R) About 4,000,000 bushels of sur plus potatoes have been dumped to rot so far under the govern ment's program to support prices of the 1949 crop, agriculture of ficials estimated today. Farm law requires the govern ment to support prices to grow ers by buying up any over-production. The surplus on the 1949 crop is estimated at 65 million bush els. So far, the government has bought up and disposed of an estimated 45,000,000 bushels at a cost of about $50 million, of ficials said. Restricted To Maine Spuds Except for a few thousand bushels in Minnesota and Wyo ming, officials said the dump ing so far has been restricted to potatoes grown in Maine. They predicted there will be more dumpings in Maine before the 1949 surplus is cleaned up. It is certain, however, that fewer spuds will be dumped than Secretary of Agriculture Char les F. Brannan had estimated last January. Brannan said then that about 25 million bushels might have to be dumped. Of ficials now place the figure at less than 10 million bushels. Corvallis.
