The Agricultural Act of 1861

past week on a voice vote after
two days of debate. II was in
teresting to note that party lines
were not followed, but sectional
lines were most evident.

is of the greatest Importance to
Montana's economic picture, so ]
, will briefly outline the provi
sions of the House-passed YER
sion.
There is a mandatory 10 per
cent cut in acreage with an in
creased support price of 81 per

mandatory reduction in acreage.
