TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THREE a Senators Propose New Plan For Dairy Price Supports WASHINGTON W K. new gov- eminent price., support system lor oalry products apparently aimed at soltenlng the reduction ordered by Secretary bf Agriculture Ben sonwas unveiled today by Sen ators Aiken (R-Vt) and Anderson (D-NM). - . Aiken Is chairman ot the Senate Agriculture Committee and Ander son Is a former secretary ot, agrl culture. In an Interview, Aiken said they had not cleared their proposals with Benson or the. ad ministration, but would Introduce them today In the Senate. Aiken conceded that the propos als if adopted should counter much ft the criticism that has arisen in dairy areas and Congress because Benson lowered government dairy price supports from 90 to 75 per Butter Price Said Lowering WASHINGTON Ml Secretary of Agriculture Benson said Mon day some retail outlets have re ported they will offer butter for as low as 69 cents a pound Thursday when the government's dairy price support program shifts to a lower basis, Benson said, however, that most of the retail prices for butter are expected to be In the "mid and upper 60's." Retail prices are now generally above 78 cents a pound, mostly around 80 cents. The government's support rate will' decline about 8 '4 cents a pound from about 88 to 67 cents. The dairy support program, now at 90 per cent of parity, will be re duced to 75 per cent for the new marketing year beginiung April 1. Benson told a news conference that msny wholesalers and retail ersincluding food chains have informed him that they are will lng to forego a part of their normal price markups In an effort to help the dairy Industry solve Its surplus situation. The secretary estimated his de partment will own about 380 mil lion, pounds of butter, 420 million pounds of cheese and 650 million pounds of non-fat dried milk by . April 1, acquired under dairy price support commitments. Benson said he was not yet ready to announce plans for dis posing of the government surplus stocks. cent of parity, effective at mid night tomorrow. "This would assure dairy pro ducers about 80 per cent of parity," Aiken said. "It should provide, a long-range stability for all parts of the Industry, especially farmers and producers." Both Aiken and Anderson have been supporting administra tion proposals for ending' rigid 90 per cent farm supports on major neid crops in favor of a flexible system ranging from 75 to 90 per cent. Parity Is a standard for farm prices said by law to be fair to produoers in relation to prices they must pay. Key points in the new dairy pro posals, as outlined by Aiken, are: 1. For the first time the govern ment would support fluid milk prices directly. Instead of Indirect ly through price floors under but ter, cheese, dried milk and other milt products. 2. The price support level for milk would be tied directly to that of dairy feeds. Thus, If feedstuffs. were supported at more than 75 per cent, dairy products would be too.. Under present law, the secre tary of agriculture has discretion to fix supports between 75 and 90 per cent. 3. Price supports could vary on different dairy products. They niigm oe relatively Higher on fluid milk, that sold for drinking and iiousenoia uses, man on putter ana cheese. 4. Distributors and processors would be required to pass on the benefits of government supports to producers. Aiken said this had not always been done In the past. 5. The secretary ot agriculture would be given broad authority to dispose of surpluses already ac cumulated, including millions of pounds of butter, cheese and dried milk. He could do this by gifts to scnool lunch and relief programs, or by cut-rate prices to low-Income, aged and. other groups. Aiken said the program also in volves 'marketing controls, under wmch tne secretary could require producers to hold back part of weir mux irom mantel during periods of surplus. - Benson predicted yesterday that some retailers will cut prices on a pound of butter to 89 cents Thurs day when the government drops supports from 68 to 67 cents. But he said most prices will be from 68 to 70 cents. Sen. -Mundt (R-SD) got into the aispute over larm price supports last night with an announcement that he would ask Congress to let farmers decide "on crop-by-crop basis" what kind of government price supports they want. Potato Pest fight Planned Oregon potato growers are going "underground" In their .battle against three; major' pests that feed on tubers. Oregon State College Insecticide trials show that Aldrln, dieldrln, of heptachlor, properly mixed Into the soil before spring planting will give almost complete control of tuber flea bee tles, Western spotted cucumber beetles and wlreworms; ' In addition to ridding the soil of wireworms, ' the new method vetches winged - beetles under ground In the larvae stage and does away with the time-consuming and less effective job of spot checking fields 'with insect nets and then dusting potato plants three to five times during -the growing sea son to kill adult beetles. . H. E. Morrison and H. H. Crow ell, OSO experiment station ento mologists, say two pounds of soil Insecticide per acre mixed into the top six inches of - soil will give con trol.
