Here's Summary of Farm Bill;
How Does 1t Affect You?

THE AGRICULTURAL ACT of
1949 makes price supports manda-
tory for the "basic" commodities
wheat, corn, cotton, rice, tobacco and
peanuts-and for certain designated
nonbasic commodities-wool, mo-
hair, tung nuts, honey, Irish pota-
toes, milk, butterfat and the prod
ucts of milk and b~utterfat.
Price support is permissive for
other nonbasic commodities at the
discretion of the secretary of agri-
culture.
Dual Parity System
A major feature of the agricul-
tural act of l949 is the application
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-12-01
of a dual parity system.

of a dual parity system.
The act sets up a new parity for
mula using the 10-year moving aver
age parity formula average of the
last 10 crop years. provided in the
agricultural act of 1948 amended to
INCLUDE WAGES paid hired help
and to include wartime subsidies
paid to producers under OPA.
BUT until 1854 the old parity for
mula Q909-1914 average, no allow
ance for wages MAY STILL APP
PLY to all basic commodities. Until
1854 parity prices of the basic COM
modities are to be parity under Ell
Their the new or the old formulas,
WHICHEVER IS THE HIGHER.
Basic Crop Supports. (wheat, corn,
cotton, rice, tobacco, peanuts)
In 1850 supports will be 80 per-
cent of parity to co-operators grow
ers who do not knowingly exceed
their allotments) if marketing quotas
have not been disapproved and if
either allotments or quotas are in eff
feet. parity will be figured on Ell
Their the old or new formula, which
eve is the higher. Present esti-
mates for wheat are that the old will
be higher than the new-$2.14 a
bushel as compared to $1.88.)
Supports at SO percent of parity
will be available to growers who
comply with acreage allotments if
producers disapprove marketing
quotas.
In 1851 supports will be at 80 to
80 percent of parity (actual percent
to be determined by the secretary
of agriculture) if marketing quotas
have not been disapproved and
either allotments or quotas are in
effect. Support will be so percent
of parity to co-operators if quotas
are disapproved.
In 1852 and after. supports will
be rs to 80 percent of parity NEW
formula only after 1859. Corn,
wheat, rice supports will be 80 per-
cent of parity as long as supplies
do not exceed 102 percent of normal
AS supplies increase above 102 per-
cent they are to be reduced at the
rate of l percent of parity level for
each 2 percent increase of excess
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-12-01

parity for supplies more than 100
percent of normal.
BUT support levels provided by
the flexible schedules are mini
NUNS. The secretary of agriculture
MAY SET SUPPORT PRICES
ABOVE these minimum levels up
to a maximum of go percent of par
ity if he desires.
Wool Including mohairl - Price
support for wool (including mohair)
is to be established at such level
between so and 80 percent of parity
Calculated by the new" formula)
as the secretary of agriculture de-
termines is necessary to encourage
an annual production of approx
mately $50, 900, 900 pounds of shorn
wool.
Tung nuts. honey. and Irish pota-
toes-The support level is between
80 and go percent of parity las cal
culated by the new" formula.)
Whole milk. butterfat. and the
products of such commodities -
Prices are to be supported at such
levels between rs and 90 percent of
parity las calculated by the new"
formula) as will assure an adequate
supply. Such price support is to be
provided through loans on, or pur-
chases of, the products of milk and
butterfat.
Other Nonbasic Commodities
Price support for nonbasic agri-
cultural commodities, other than the
designated commodities. is permits
sive at any level not in excess of 80
percent of parity. In determining
whether support will be provided
for any nonbasic commodity, and i'm
fixing the level of such support, the
following factors are to be consid-
cred: CD the supply of the commod-
lty in relation to the demand there
for; (2) the price levels at which
other commodities are being sup
ported and, in the case of feed
grains, the feed values of such grains
in relation to corn; 90 the available
ity of funds; az the perishability of
the commodity; (5) the importance
of the commodity to agriculture and
the national economy; (6) the ability
to dispose of stocks acquired
through a price-support operation;
CD the need for offsetting temporary
losses of export markets, and (6)
the ability and willingness of pro-
ducers to keep supplies in line with
demand. In determining the level
of support for undesignated nom
basic commodities, particular con-
sideration must be given to the level
of support for competing commodi-
ties.
So far as feasible, price support
is to be made available to cooper
ators on any storable nonbasic ag-
ricultural commodity for which a
marketing quota or marketing
agreement or order program is in
effect at levels not in excess of 90
percent of parity and not less than
the level between rs and go percent
of parity called for by a sliding
scale set forth in the act.

Why a Bullet peneiraies
Better From a Distance

The phenomenon of bullet pene-
tration is always interesting to the
big game hunter, yet the details
of it are often mystery. Manu-
facturers are frequently asked a
question which usually pursues the
following pattern: Standing close
to small tree. I fired point blank
at it. The bullet did not penetrate
all the way through. Yet when /
fired at it from a distance of about
rs yards the bullet went through
and came out on the other side.
Why is this?"
This fact can very easily es-
cape the average shooter" says
DR.. c. S. Cummings. supervisor
of ballistics and physics research.
Remington Arms Company, Inc,
''yet the answer is relatively SIM
pie.
ut is known fact that armor
piercing bullets which may pene-
trate plate poorly close to the
muzzle will go completely through
at distances of rs to 100 yards. The
reason for this difference in pene-
trating effect is to be found in the
instability Of the bullet at the muz-
zle. When bullet leaves the muzzle
Of a gun it tends to have fair
amount of wobble or, as it is known
technically, yaw. This is due to the
sudden release of unbalanced forces
which tend to get the bullet started
in a slightly erratic path. Conse-
quently, if the bullet strikes a tar
get which is close to the muzzle,
there is good chance that it will
not strike the target at strictly
normal incidence, lie. dead on
However, as the bullet passes down
the range, the yawing motion tends
to become damped out and the
flight of the bullet becomes stead
ier. Thus, when it strikes a target
100 yards down the range, it is
more likely to strike squarely and
so penetrate more successfully.
