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. S. produc
tion and marketing administra
tion said in its monthly report
today.
Department of agriculture of
ficials predicted poor conditions
lor California and Oregon penrs
of all varieties. A good crop was
expected, however, in the Wenat
chee district of Washington.
Crape Demand Down
Grape growers said the de
mand for wine varieties was 2
per cent less than last year. De
mand for table grapes was down
7 per cent, while raisins showed
a 6 per cent decline.
The UbUA found tne pium
crop output generally un
changed, with heavy rains point
ing to an upswing in citrus
production.

magazine from Ihe country for

program for many major crops
will have to shift Into reverse
gear after the 1930 harvest.
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.
