1t is not surprising that ffrclhigh cost of food

being spent on the farmer and in the manner of
its spending.

agencies have an estimated budget Of 81 billion
TO spend on agriculture and USDA alone maiHs,

the distribution of cash and services for three

y 10 conserve the soil; 81 to provide research

can be saved all along the line.
Very few commodities in this, agEic1lture's
best year, qualify for subsidies, b1>the budget
makes provision for more thss$l60 million to-
maintain parity prices plys10O on eggs, pota-

looks weird to the pinched consumer. NE
USDA's argument is that without the assurance
of supporter prices agriculture would 3ot now
be prod2cing as much as itdoes andprlses would
be higher than they are. 1t is debstable thesis.
The USDAw wants to continue tSsoilimprove-

of their requirements. If GUS. farmer canTot

To File Arms

Returned veterans who have
failed to register automatic SOU
venir firearms with the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, Wash
ington, D. c., face the possibility
of conviction and severe penalties
according to a recent Treasury
department announcement.
The Internal revenue department
pointed out that they have no OBJ
jections to veterans owning tro-
phies, but many such weapons are
finding their way into the hands
of criminalsby illegal sale. theft or
otherwise.
The National Firearms act, de-
signed to prevent the flow OF
dangerous weapons into improper
hands, requires registration of all
firearms in certain classifications
and establishes a prohibitive trans
fer tax of $500 on each weapon.
A $4,000 fine and five years i'm
prisonment or both may be i'm
posed on all violators.
