X CTION of the 81st congress in
"A the dying moments OF its first
session was a reasonable facsimile
of the Both congress as the con-
fused conferees and harassed mem
bership finally squeezed out a
hodge-p odge, stop-gap farm bill
setting up a new system of parity
price supports and repeating the
Hope-Aiken law which was to have
gone into effect January /, 1850.
Just as the Both congress, unable
to agree, simply Joined together the
house-passed Hope bill and the sem
ate-passed Aiken bill, SO did this
congress, unable to agree, compro-
mise on merger of the house.
passed Gore bill and the senate
passed Anderson bill. So this new
law can well be called the Gore
Anderson law.
If anyone won a victory,
which is questionable. then the
supporters of the mandatory 80
per cent of parity group were
triumphant for they STAYED off
the flexible price support sys-
tenn for at least another year.
Which means that the basic crops
of wheat, corn, rice, cotton, pea
nuts and tobacco will be supported
at 80 per cent of parity until 1851
when the flexible supports will take
over. After that the law sets up
80 to 80 per cent supports in 1852
and rs to so per cent in 1858. That
is, if the law is still in the statute
books then. Actually milk is still
being supported at 80 per cent and
hogs will be supported at 80 per
cent through March, 1850, because
commitments already have been
made on these commodities.

How About A Write Up?

Our advertisers do not mean to be selfsh-we feel
they do not. But each month have increas-
ing number of releases handed in connection with
advertisements. We want to give local people
boost when they start an enterprse-bud store;
add to an old stock interesting line-but
like to do it in own way.
The front page is for news--we do not mind calling
attention to ad by brief item the front page if
it Our advertisers defeating their purpose
when they insist long deadly spiel anyway-it is
very much less effective than short notice.
Carl Goerch, publisher of favorite weekly,
State expressed the sentiment of all editors and pub
fishers when he wrote on November 10:
While travelling the state last week stopped
friends. We won't mention his name, the of
the town, because have desire to embarrass
anyone.
A local merchant came in with copy for large
advertisement Some kind of a special sale. He gave
instructions about how he wanted it set up and then he
said: "How about wrte-up?"
The publisher agreed.
And I'd like to have it the front page" continued
the merchant.
Practically every newspaperman especially the
publishers Of small papers this proposition
to contend with continuously.
We wonder how the merchant would feel if the
publisher would walk into his store purchase suit and
say "Now how about making me present of shirt"
Would the merchant give it to him?
And if it were given, how do you suppose the mer
chant would feel if the publisher to say: "And
think you ought to throw in belt, too"

Lucille Johnson AlInuH

The tragic death of Lucille Johnson Anutt in
explosion in her home Tuesday has -saddened the
hearts of many persons in Rockville and upper Mont
gomery County Her lovely singing voice, winning per-
sonalty and beauty had her many friends in the
years since she came from her native Tennesseefrst
to teach and later to be supervisor of music in the county
schools.
of her sudden death told in the county seat
seemed cruel and hard to associate death with anyone
young and full of the joy of living.
Lucille sang because she loved to sing-singing
natural to her as to bird. With true under
standing of the universal language of music she had
the happy faculty of inspiring others to sing.
We shall all be just little better for having known
her and for having followed her in song-at school
at public gatherings-with the Laymens Choir or her
Church choir in Rockville. a2

Means Higher Prices

According to some experts the
new farm bill will mean higher
prices to the farmers because the
law sets up two systems of determ-
lining parity. 1t retains the present
system based on the 1909-1914 av-
erage and also includes the Ander-
son system providing for a movable
10-year average and including hired
labor. The new parity formula it
is said will favor the grain and
livestock growers and the older
parity will favor other crops and
the growers will determine their
choice of formula and the secretary
of agriculture is to give commodity
support under the basis that will
give the farmer the most money.
During the closing days of
the senate debate the Anderson
bill was riddled with amend
ments and about everything
but the kitchen sink was thrown
into the mandatory support
group as senators traded back
and forth on a sectional basis.
The house however refused to
accept these and so many COM
modities we're taken out of the
mandatory group, including
hogs, although peanuts were
left in.
Despite the fact the new bill is
said to increase prices of farm
commodities, it will be noted that
most of the members from the city
districts voted for the measure on
final passage, the house voting IT'S
to "a and the senate 46 to 7, the
seven all being Republicans from
the industrial east. Baldwin of
Connecticut; Bridges and Tobey of
New Hampshire; Ives of New
York: Lodge and Saltonstan III
Massachusetts. and Williams OF
Delaware.
The one certain conclusion which
can be drawn from the confusion
over enactment of farm bill is
that the whole issue will be tossed
into the 1850 congressional elections,
with many Democrats supporting
the Brannan program and Repub-
licans pulling for a lower flexible
formula of support.
The senate agricultural COM
mittee has adopted a resolution
which recommends q loan of
100000 to the United Nations
Food and Agricultural Organi-
zation provided EAO picks q
site for headquarters in the
vicinity of Washington.
