Price Fight Wins
Truman Support
ORG. 0. p. Visitor

A bouncing Republican grand
mother from upper New York, who
specializes in the preparation of
breast of guinea hen for the
clientele of her Finger Lakes resort
hotel, today promised President
Truman some Of the fowl for his
campaign train menu-along with
one resounding vote-as a reward
for his fight on high prices.
The offer came from Mrs. Ruth
Erickson of Fontainebleau, near
Odessa, N Y, who was escorted
to the White House by Mrs. India
Edwards, chairman of the womens
division of the Democratic National
Committee, and Miss Mary Tobin
publicity director for the division
Mrs. Erickson, white-haired and
enthusiastic, was invited to call on
the President after she had written
him to express her thanks for his
efforts to hold prices in line.
Plainly pleased at her welcome
she explained to reporters that she
had been led by COP promises tc
vote for the ticket in the past
particularly in 1946-and that now
she believes there are millions OF
Republican women" who like her
self are prepared to switch theil

the potatoes were left in the fields
to rot. the Government actually
would save money.
If the Army's whole order were
filled, it would get the potato flour
for $31 100000. Comparable wheat
flour, measured in calories, would
cost around $23,0OO,0OO.
Only in another year will pota-
toes stop having such a high price
support. Even then, the new law
states, they must be supported at at
least so per cent of parity, compared
to the 80 per cent today. At today'S
prices, that support figure would be
around 81, slightly under the 1943
support.
Might Cut Acreage.
1t Is not at all certain that such
a support figure would bring lower
retail prices for potatoes, although
it probably would take lot of
acreage out Of potatoes and cut
down the excess the Government
has been buying. The reason seems
to be that potato buying is rather
constant-people eat so many re-
gardleSs Of price, because they are a
cheap bulk food.
For example, here is the relation
ship of the years average retail
price of l5-pound sack of potatoes,
together with the average price sup
port figure per bushel for the same
wear.

The waste in Government owned
potatoes reached 34,000,000 bushels
in 1916, and the public indignation
was immense. The Government has
tried about everything to get rid
Of the excess spudS it cannot help

had kerosene poured over them.
They have been made into alcohol.
They have been used in school

To avoid another outcry against
wasting or destroying food the
Agriculture Department this year
practically is giving the extra pota-
toes to companies that turn them
into potato flour and in turn sell
it to the Army for shipment to
Germany as food.
Ship Badly.
Potatoes are too bulky and con-
tain too much water to be worth
while sending whole. Also they ship
badly. But when dehydrated and
turned into flour they have the
same caloric value as wheat flour.
The Army in June agreed to take
up 70 448 100000 pounds of potato

Judged, of course, not from a nutri-
tional standpoint, but from actual
world trade possibilities). Congress
voted to wait another year before
accepting this thesis. Since 4 am.
June 20, the crop prospects have
grown bigger and bigger and the
need for ultra-high price supports
has vanished.
Biggest Furor Over Potatoes.
The biggest public furor SO far
over price supports has concerned
potatoes. Yet potato price supports
at today's level will go on another
year. 1t is the horrible example
of what mess rigid price sup
port program can get the Govern
ment into, and it has bearing on
the high cost of food.
This is the story:
Early in the war, grocery stores
suddenly were bare of potatoes. So,
to encourage bigger crops, the Sec
retary of Agriculture, under au-
thority given him by Congress,

port. The Government, that is,
promised to pay the farmer in 1943
an average of $1.09 a bushel wary
ing from area to area for every
bushel he grew and which he
couldn't sell in normal commercial
channels for at least that much.
The price support figure SO far this
year averages about $3.50 bushel
1t is reached by a complicated for
mula rigidly laid down by Congress.
This guarantee pleased the potato
farmers of the Nation. The result
was huge 1943 potato crop, much
more than the Government goal. BY
the time the crop was finally dis
posed Of, the Treasury was out $21,-
650,000 and 100000 bushels of the
potatoes the Agriculture Department
bought had been lost by spoilage.
But l943 was only starter. Once
the crop came under price support

support of other important segments
of the public. Just as the general
public, which has long been sympa-
thetic with labor and supported most
of its demands for improved condi-
tions, finally revolted at organized
labor's excesses and enacted re-
straining legislation, so might the
public be expected to react against
agriculture, if it should become con-
vinced that the farmer was asking
too much"

Thus, while the support level rose
almost SO per cent, the retail price
went up less than u per cent. Price
supports on potatoes seem to have
wasted Government money, but not
driven potato prices higher.
Other Losses Over Years.
Potatoes have been the biggest
headache, but not the only one.
Evening star., 1948-09-02


over the 1943-48 period:
Potatoes ---------$2 $24O, 1859 900
Eggs 100000
Dried fruit ------- 100000
Peanuts ----- 1,750,000
Total $2se ,919, 900
The story in each case is pretty
much the same Each product was
supported in an effort to bolster
production when such an increase
was needed. That is not true today,
yet high price support goes on.
The price support program does
not always result in loss. In 1947,
Agriculture bought 212 900 900 pounds
of dried milk for about $20,000,000.
All of it was sold either to the Army,
the International Childrens Fund
or shipped for relief, and all $20,000,-
900 was recovered. The same year,
l Sal ,000 pounds of turkeys were
bought under price support for
S548,819. All we're sold without loss.
The egg transactions-no Grade
A store eggs were involved
amounted to $78,208,000 in 1947 but
of this, $53,20a,0O0 was recovered
from sales. Part of the 1948 invest
ment will be recovered through sales
arranged by the Economic Co
operation Administration to Mar
shall Plan nations.
True for Dried Fruits.
The same is true of dried fruits,
mostly prunes, raisins, dried peaches,
apricots, apples and pears. The
Army bought part of the Govern
Iment's holdings but paid only what
would have been the comparable cost
for the same number of calories in
wheat. Last week the Agriculture
Department announced prices it will
pay for this years crop and esti-
mated it will have to take over about
100000 tons. Normally some 35 to
40 per cent of the crop is shipped
abroad, much of it to Central Eu-
rope, but those markets are largely
gone.
The question bothering the farm
lobby today is whether the wrath OF
the consumer will be transferred,
rightly or wrongly, through the new
Congress, to an attack on the farmer
and his price support program before
the law permits even a modest de-
cline in the support figures. For, as
an old-time farm expert, o. M. Kile,
says in his just published history of
THE Farm Bureau Through Three
Decades:
obviously the farmer cannot ex-
Ipect to continue to get needed legis-
lation and administrative considera-
ton, unless he has the goodwill and
