Bozeman Mont, June 4 -
(UP) - Montana wheat farm
ers this year have prospects for
a higher income from their crop
than they have had in recent
years, r. j. McKenna, acting
chairman of the state AAA COM
mittee, said today.
Taking into account the
wheat loan and conservation
and parity payments which far
merS may earn under the 1941
program, he said, the income
of Montana wheat farmers this
year was estimated at from $780,
900, 900 to $50, 000, 900 for an av-
erage crop. This would be from
SIS, 900 900 to $40, 000, 900 higher
than the 10-year average.
However, McKenna said, the
IS per cent parity loan depen-
ded on the outcome Of a refer
endum vote Saturday. Federdl
law prohibits a loan where a
marketing quota had been voted
down, he said, because loans on
uncontrolled SURPRISES were con-
sidered an unWarranted risk OF
public money.
President Roosevelt's recent
action in signing the IS per cent
parity measure was expected to
average about 81 cents a buShel
to the producer on a nation

pointed out, this price will be
somewhat less in Montana be-
cause of increased freight diff
ferentials. At the same time, he
said, the states farmers still
will receive a better price than
they have in recent years.
