the Eepartm mt of Agriculture
announced this week that three
valleues will receive SO per cent
cuts in their support prices for
1857.

in demand by buyers and which
carry a regular support pr c..
The varieties that will receive
ithe cut are 139, l40, and pa Of
the 1857 flue-cured crop The
cuts VII be without regard to
grade, and these varieties will be
supported atNone-half the rate
for comparable( grades of other
varieties and also one-half the
rates which would have prevailed
had there been no change in
market demand
These varieties are commonly
called white, pale, slick tobac-
co for which there is slight de-
mand. With filter tip cigarettes

smoking market. the tobacco buy
ers have orders for heavier bodied
tobacco that are needed for filter

supported at rates designed TO re-
fleet 80 per cent Of parity Pari-
ty is the price level said by law TO

ton earlier this month. the VF'BF
went on record as favoring grad
ual elimination of price supports
Of all agricultural commodities.
NJ A. Hubbard, executive sec
rotary of the VFBF. said that the
action Of the agriculture depart
ment was very much in line with
the wishes of the VFBF members,

Continued From Page CT
rightfield stands to give the
White Sox a 30 lead.
But Harshman is a fellow who
likes insurance. He took out
some in the fourth inning. Griggs
walked Sherman Lollar to start
the fourth and Pedro Ramos
came on to retire Hatfield on
a foul and Luis Aparicio on a
sacrifice. Harshman then dou-
bled to center, scoring Lollar.
Griggs and Ramos walked
seven in the first five innings,
and four of those "freebies" der
veloped into runs. With one
down in the fifth, Ramos walked
Minnie Minoso and Larry Dolby.
Lollar singled with two out to
score Minoso, and after Hatfield
walked, Aparicio doubled to right,
scoring Dolby and Lollar.
NOTES: Chuck Stobbs and
Bunky Stewart will pitch for the
Senators in tomorrow's double
header, with Bob Keegan and
Dick Donovan ready to FIRE for
the White Sox. Then the
Senators shift to Kansas City for
four games.
Ed YoSt, who had reached base
in 40 straight games on a walk,
"a hit or being hit by a pitched
ball, had that streak snapped
by Harshman. Dean Stone
pitched the final two innings for
the Senators and supplied some
thing of an upset by retiring six
in a row.
