nouncement that USDA is s'favor-
ably considering a loan rate dis

rieties grown in 1856" Such pro
gram, says Benson, would be an

USDA, meantime, also has announced
ga broad scale tryout of a new and
method of testing the poten-
tial bread-baking quality of wheat. .
Benson & Co report they are hopeful
the extensire-tests will eventually lead
to method "of classifying extensive

Of the wheat quota vote, as this is

son of Nebraska. This legislation would

Iation. would be so per cent of parity.

CONSUMER INCOME UP


difference between conditions on
the farm and in town is starting to
worry businessmen and bankers as
well as agricultural leaders and
politicians. Agriculture is de-
scribed by the New York Federal
Reserve Bank as one of the prob

the smaller number and high produc-

Most recent USDA price reports en-
pbasize the continuing disparity be-
tween city and farm income. In the
first quarter of this year, says the de-
partment, consumer income after taxes
rose to record levels and sis expected
to rise further in coming months.
AT the same time, USDA notes, grow

STRONGER SCS

BY all the signs, USDA's Soil Con-
servation Service has been getting
stronger and stronger despite pres
sures to transfer it to states. As we
went to press, the Presidents Conn
mission on nter-gOvernmentaI Re-
IatiOns had not yet released its long
awaited report on SCS.
Although Commission recommends
tons had not been issued as this was
written, we have this information from
reliable sources:
That while the majority of the Com
mission viii come out in favor of even
tuaI state control of SCS technical func-
tons, there will be strings tied to the
deal that practically insure SCS OF re-
manning about as-is for long time to
come. Each state, the Commission
probably will recommend, would be re-
qtiiredl to put up as much money as IS
now provided it by the SCS. The new
money would be in addition to present
federal funds which would not be re-
duced (thus strengthening, financially

MORE FUNDS FOR sCs


SCS, meantime, has come out
with colOrs flying on the funds
front. Congress (Which would have
veto power over any plan to trans
fer SCS to states) has voted the
agency considerably more money
for fiscal year Sc, starting July !.
than Benson & Co. requested-and
also more than last year.
The important figure-for aids to DIS
tricts-win be SIS, 300, 900 for next year.
That compares with Benson request
of $55, 696, 600. and funds available Tor
this year of $57, 568, $40.
Sos gets increases, also for water
shed protection work. SCS' total budg-
ct is almost Sc million more than Ben
son requested, and about $41h million
more than the agency has had to spenc
in the fiscal year just ending.

Acc CHANGES ITS RULES,
DELAYS COOP ATOMIC
POWER PLAN

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Atomic Energy Commission set new
conditions September 20 for firms
wanting to build small atomic power
reactors. The Elk River, Mimi, power
co-op's application probably must be
resubmitted, coop leaders here felt.
The deadline for new plans is Febru-
airy /.
Aces announcement was widely
interpreted as inviting firms to build
small latomic power plants. However,
Acc says it will base its acceptance
of such bids on the applicants ability
to finance the reactor. Companies
with big reserves thus would get first
consideration, and co-ops and public
power groups will find it difficult to
qualify.
Minnesota power coop leaders met
with officials of National Rural Elec-
trio Cooperative Association here,
1928, to decide the next
step in the Elk River co-op's proposal.

TARGET DATE

OZARK, Ark.-(CNS) -Arkansas
Electric Cooperative. a statewide
generating and transmission coop, ex-
poets to complete its 100, 000-kilowatt
steam plant by 1860. That's the year
state power co-ops' contracts with
Arkansas Power & Light start expir-
ing.
AP&L now is selling the co-ops
power at 4.8 mills a kilowatt hour.
But it has given notice that the new
rate will be 7 mills. In addition, AP&L
has asked for fuel clause in the new
contracts, allowing power prices to
go up as fuel costs rise.
Power from the proposed coop
plant here will cost 6-61a mills
kilowatt hour. If it can be integrated
with Interior Departments hydro
electric power, the cost will drop.

IVA service area.

Rural electric consumers in 1854
alone used 2,377, 097,317 XVIII. Fifty
two rural electric systems paid iva
S11,870,520 for wholesale power
an average of 4.99 mills per XVIII. The
average wholesale power cost of rural
electrics throughout the nation is TO
mills per XVIII.
IVA officials said that the savings
estimates, which were $6-million more
this year than during 1854, were made
by comparing the price of electricity
that Tennessee Valley consumers paid
with the price they would have to
pay for an equal amount of electricity
at the national average rate.
IVA consumers have saved
$500 million in the past Is years
through purchase of power at
Twas "yardstick rate"
Meantime, IVA Chairman Herbert
Vogel and Directors Dr. Raymond
Patty and Harry Curtis predicted that
Congress would take early action on
TWAS proposal to become a self
financing agency.
The plan to authorize IVA to issue
revenue bonds is supported by the
National Rural Electric Cooperative
Association. Under this plan, IVA
would not be dependent upon annual
congressional appropriations, and also
it would reduce the bitter propaganda
attacks of power companies.
PEOPLE LACK THE FACTS
Vogel said that Twas power OPP
erations are controversial only be-
cause people did not have the true
facts about the agency and its opera
tions. He explained that IVA sold

only wholesale power and never re-
tail power. He said that IVA did not
pay an income tax because it does
not operate in the profit field.
Over the past years, Twas earn
ings after it has paid its deprecia-
ton and operating expenses have
amounted to little more than
AZ, all of which goes to the fed
eral government" He added that
there is no profit on which an in
come tax could be levied.
Earlier, Vogel denounced as Sim
practical" the Hoover Commission

building steam plants and that it
turn over its fertilizer chemical re-
search program to the U. S. Depart

LENDING AGENCY
INTEREST RATE FOR CCc
LOANS INCREASED

Country banks and other lending
agencies which are financing Com
modify Credit Corporation price-sup-
port loans on 1856 crops and 1854
reseal purchase agreement loans will
receive higher rate of interest. ac-
cording to Leo S. Kolstad, State Agri-
cultural Sterilization and Conserva-
ton administrative officer.
The rate of interest to such lend
ing agencies is being increased to
"a per cent per annum from the
date of investment. This represents
an increase of IL of l per cent over
the 1 "a per cent per annum in effect
for 1854 crop loans.
The rate of interest charged farm
ers who obtain price-support loans
on their commodities remains at the
present rate of 8 IL % per cent per an
mum. No change is made in the fees
paid to lending agencies for services.
Kolstad said that the increase is
being offered to bring this interest
rate in line with current rates on
short-term government and CONNER
clal borrowings and to encourage pri-
vate lending agencies to retain their
investment in the loans and thereby
reduce CCC borrowings from the
Treasury

allows that teachers who are required
to attend summer school in order to
maintain their positions to deduct tut

AT&T Seeking $2.4 Billion Gift From
United States Treasury

from Western Electric, one of the
two companies which would make
fabulous profits from the deal. He
is still receiving from Western Elec-
trio an "irrevocable" pension of
about $4,000 a year.
Moreover, before he took over as
boss of the Air Force, he had been
an assistant secretary of defense
since 1858. That is, during all the
time the deal with the Telephone
Trust was being cooked up. He was
a neighbor of Talbot in the Penta-
gon Building, where the defense
chiefs have their offices.
Members of Congress will want
to know whether, before Talbot
left and Western Electric man
Quarles took over, they had any
secret talks about a huge giveaway
which, as Mccormack said, makes
even the Dixon-Yate deal look like
small-time stuff.-LABOR.
