Government May Soon Try To Hold Farm Prices Down Washington, May 12 (U.R) The government soon may find Itself holding farm prices down not up. This possibility arose today in the wake of an agriculture de partment report that food crop production prospects are below average. The report, based on May 1 conditions, said the 1950 wheat outturn for the first time in seven years is likely to fall be low 1 billion bushels. And it said fruits especially peaches a r e likely to be scarce this summer. Further Bad News There was further bad news for consumers. Dun and Brad street said wholesale food prices with meat leading the way h a v e advanced to the highest level in 18 months. Re tail prices usually follow shifts in ihe wholesale level. Unless crop prospects Improve, officials said, the farm support Marketing Prospects For Pears Lessens San Francisco, May 12 (U.R) Marketing prospects for 1990 pears on the west coast Is ex pected to be considerably less than last year, the U.

Instead of increasing its in vestment in farm surpluses to hold up farm prices, the govern ment would have to start moving some of its stockpiled products back on the market to avert shortages and high prices. The government now has almost $3 billion about three-fourths of its price support Investment tied up in wheat, corn and cotton. Could Reduce Investment The winter wheat crop was forecast yesterday at 689,595,000 bushels, 24 per cent below last year. Officials said this $3 bil lion investment could easily be cut In half if corn and cotton yields also are below average this year. Such a development could have far-reaching effects on the nation's economic and political life: 1. It would help cut govern ment red ink spending. But gov ernment sales of farm surpluses would bring price support money back into the treasury In fiscal 1951. Would Postpone Issue 2. It would tend to postpone the day when farm surpluses become a major political issue. President Truman has been push ing the controversial Brannan farm plan as a solution lo farm surplus and an issue in the November congressional e 1 e c tlons. But public concern over the farm problem already ap pears to have tapered off. 3. It would cut seriously Into farm Income by reducing the volume of products farmers have to sell, even though prices stay up. WAYNE MORSE and Cliud.
