The u. S. department of agricu}-

port the price of 1949-crop wheat
through farm-storage and ware

agreements. The actual support price
will be computed on the basis of
80 percent of the wheat parity price
as of the beginning of the market
ing year, July l, 1949, as required
by current legislation.
In general the 1949 wheat support
program will follow the pattern of
the 1947 and 1913 programs, but
will be available to farmers from
time OF harvest through Jan. 81,
1850. This makes the new program
available for an additional month,
as compared with 1947 and 1948 pro-
grams. Loans will mature April 80,
1850, or earlier on demand, and
holders of purchase agreements must
declare within a 30-day period end

date as may be determined, their
