Under the existing program, wheat surpluses have grown until there is enough wheat on hand to meet all domestic and foreign requirements for more than two years. Few persons like the exist ing program but it probably will get the necessary two thirds majority because grow ers regard it as better than nothing. : The program provides for planting allotments totaling 55 million acres, marketing quotas based on the allot ments, and price supports at the present minimum level of 75 per cent of parity or not less than $1.77 per bushel.
