Allotments to
Be Set on Wheat

Benton County AGA. chair
man A. j. Thompson announces
that the department of agricul-
ture, in considering the prospects
of another bumper wheat crop
with the accumulated surplus,
has decided that it will be neces-
sary to set up wheat acreage al
lotments and declare marketing
quotas for the 1850 CORP
Under present legislation 1t will
be necessary that individual farm
allotments be established on
wheat farms, and the individual
farms be. notified Of their 1850
allotment by July l, 1949. Farm
ers win be notified when we
have received full instructions
which should not be over week
or ten days and at that time the
office will take their basic data
and also complete their spring
signup for the 1949 trashy fallow
practice.
Valley farmers from the east
end Of Benton county are urged
to come into the county AGA
office at 20 North Auburn and
sign up their farms for the l94s
practices. Handbooks are now
available.

Seven Children
Escape Flames in
Destructive Fire

Seven children, ranging in age
from three months TO II years.
escaped from their home while
flames swept over and destroy
ed the building last Sunday in
Hover.
The seven children were at
home while their parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Earl Player, were at q
neighbors. An oil stove flared up
and il was no time before the
house was a mass Of flames. The
older children took charge and
started the little ones out and
their parents came soon and fin
iShed the rescue job. None was
injured.
When Fire Chief Herb Malchow
and eight men arrived from Ken
newick with two trucks, the
house was too far gone TO save
and no attempt was made. After
il had burned down, firemen
pumped water on the burning
debris for safety against spread
ing. Loss on the house was $4,000
and on the furniture 1880. NAL
chow said he understood Player
would rebuild.
Firemen and the Red Cross
combined TO turn over enough
clothing TO the family to serve
during the emergency. They are
residing in a store building at
Hover temporarily.
Monday was a day of. grass
fires, there being four that day.
Firemen answered calls TO 10th
and eighth streets and at Avenue
e and Hover. All were caused by
burning rubbish.

Farm Supports Debate
To Affect Pocketbooks

corn, wheat. cotton and other
crops. %@ ~
Southerners Against II
The southern farm bloc is ex-
pected to make a strong drive ID
throw out the new parity system
and keep the old system. Produ-
GERS who are favored by the new
system and that includes those
livestock and dairy men VINO
must buy their feed grains-will
fight to retain it. .:'."
Even if supports were contln-
ued at 80 per cent or the old
parity, some experts in admins
trative and congressional circles
predict privately that farmers
will get less income from 1850
crops than from 1949 crops.
They reason as follows: Current
prospects are that the 1949 har-
vest will produce SURPRISES of sew
eral key commodities. AS a result,
the government will have to lap
on production restrictions to
hold down the SURPRISES. And, re-
ducing the volume of output will
lower gross income, even though
support prices are kept high.
Fear of production controls
explains, in part, why some farm
groups are fighting for the flex-
ible and the lower support
system. Other groups, notably in
the south and TO some extent IN
the midwest, are willing to re-
turn TO pre-war production con-
trolls in order to get high supports
continued. a..-.. -.-. j. rzs
Producers at Odds ..---.-..-.. H.
The question of the modern
ized'' parity formula basically
involves a quarrel over division
Of farm income among producers
of different commodities. =
Under the so-called modern
lied" system, overall farm prices
would continue to be at "parity"
with industrial prices when they
are in their 1904 relationship.
But parity prices for each COM
modify would be adjusted to take
into account price trends during
the last 10 years.
The new system would lower
the parity" price for peanuts,
POTATOES, cotton, and most grains,
including wheat and corn. It
would boost the PARTY" price for
wool, rice, hogs, beef cattle, milk,
butterfat, veal calves, lambs,
chickens, and turkeys.
Thus, it would trend to en-
courage farmers to shift toward u
livestock economy and produce
more of the meat and dairy pro-
ducts which consumers want.
Opposition to the "modernized''
parity formula comes largely
from those who want rigid war
time supports continued. Not
only would the flexible system
reduce their supports, but their
crops would get a lower parity
price under the Ymodernized''
'ormula.

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON-The outcome
OF the impending fight in Congress
over farm supports will have, a
far-reaciling effect on the pocket
book Of the nations farmers.
Producers of some crops will
be effected more than others.
The big issue is: Should price
supports be kept at the rigid, high
wartime levels? Or should the
new system of flexible supports
be allowed to go into effect, as
scheduled, on 1850 crops?
Government price supports are
calculated at specific percentage
of a so-called parity" or fair
price. This year 19 crops are
guaranteed mandatory govern
ment support-11 at 90 per cent
of parity and eight at so per cent
of parity. ~ #~e 49, u.
Eight Crops Mandatory
The new law would limit man
datory supports next year to
eight crops. It would provide ago
per cent of parity" support OF
wool and tobacco. 1t would pro-
vide flexible supports-ranging
from so TO 80 per cent of parity
for wheat, corn, rice, cotton,
peanuts and Irish potatoes.
Under the new law supports
would be rs per cent of parity
when supplies are normal" and
no production controls are in
force. .E-~- 8
Assuming those conditions, the
new law still could drop supports
on 1850 crops as much as 40 cents
a bushel for wheat, $50 bale
for cotton and % cents bushel
for corn. That amounts to a
drop Of about 20 per cent from
current levels.
Only part of this drop would
be due to dropping the suppol
level from 80 to IS per cent of
parity. The rest Of the drop would
result from use of new method
for computing the "fair"-or
parity-price for individual COM
nodities.
The new "modernized" parity
system, set up by the 80th Con-
gress, effective Jan l, 1850, would
boost the parity price for SOME
commodities and lower 1t for

Congressman Is
Trying TO Move
Wheat from NV.
By Hal Holmes.
Washington Congressman

washington Coo91oSSman
The surplus Of wheat and dried
peas, with the accompanying pro-
blem of storage facilities in east.
ern Washington Is causing much
concern. I have been moving in
every channel of approach avail
able in the government depart
ments, holding meetings with Of.
ficials of the commodity credit
corporation, and pressing the mat
ter with. the production and
marketing administration.
I have urged that consideration
be given to special movemen,
in the Pacific Northwest Of wheat
to terminals since there are fac.
tors in our area not affecting
other areas. Some four million
bushels purchased the first Of
March for Portland delivery j:
a help. A series Of meetings are
TO be held this month at variou.
field offices of the Commodity
Credit Corporation, including
Portland, to consider the orderly
movement of grain, with particu-
lar consideration to the storage
situation.
am also urging the house
committee on agriculture to give
prompt attention to legislation
to provide storage facilities, not
only to take care of the present
situation but to provide adequate
available storage for the coming
crop. With regard to surplus
dried peas, I have had meetings
with representatives Of the army,
navy, economic corporation adj
ministration and agriculture. OF
the approximately one million
bags surplus in the nation, some
$4,000 bags have been moved
Every effort is being made to
clear the surplus. The chief Diff
ficulty is the lack of demand in
Europe and the fact that the
army win probably not be in the
market again until the new crop
comes in, except for the possible
purchase of supply for japan.
We are hopeful that Ausria will
furnish an Outlet for some 10000
bags.

Homemade Weed
SpruYers Okeh

Home-built weed sprayers US
ing power take-off are practical
to make, County Extension Agent
Frank Webster says in reminding
that now would be good time
to start building sprayer if it's
! to be used this year. ...-. 49,
Such sprayers are neither diff
ficult nor expensive to make,
he added, and will give good
service when well constructed.
Proper nozzles, located the correct
distance above the ground, recon-
mended pressure, combined with
a reliable pump and valves for
controlling the flow of the spray
are all important points.
Another important part OF a
successful home-built spray rig
is the agitator. Webster says the
vanes of the agitator should be
located within a half inch of the
bottom of the tank and the vanes
should be turned fast enough to
keep the spray well MIXED. A
knowledge of the location of es-
sential valves, strainers, pressure
regulator guages and other parts
is necessary when building farm
weed spryers. 81. .E..... .a .l $751;
The county extension office has

Show Down 5tage Now, 1
 Dock Strike

NEW YORK, Sept. 10-R-Peace talks aimed at settling the Ha- waiaan dock strike moved into the showdown stage today
 US. Mediation Chief Cyrus S. Ching met separately with Harry Bridges, President of the CIO Longshoremen's and Warehouse mems Union and representative of the Hawaiian employers council preparatory to joint session later in the day.
 Bridges, breaking his silence for the first time since the talks began last Wednesday, said he saw no chance for a settlement unless the employers change their position.
 Their attitude on wages alone precludes any possibility of a set dement, Bridges declared
 They insist that any wage in- crease must be less than IA cents an hour, and IA cents won't settle it."
 Bridges renewed his offer to end the l33-day old walkout at once ii the employers would accept arbi- tration.
 The employers gave no indica- ton of budging from their stand that wages and other cost items must be determined by direct bar gaining rather than by arbitration
