Is Delayed By Lack Of Funds
WASHINGTON. May 19 — (/P) —
The marketing season la near for
early harvested wheat, but the gov-
ernment shows no signs of setting
up a price-support program.
8uch a price-bolstering program
is required by law, but Secretary of
Agriculture Brannan apparently has
decided to make no move until
Congress votes him the 12,000,000,-
000 additional funds the adminis-
tration has requested for farm price
support operations.
About this time each year the Ag-
riculture Department annountea a
support program for early harvest-
ed wheat. Under farm law, the
agency is required to support this
year's crop at not leu than 90 per
cent of parity, or a farm average
of about 81.93 a bushel.
No steps have been taken, officials
said, to set up a support program
for wheat, or a number of other
farm commodities not now covered.
They said the department feels that
it doe* not have enough money to
cover possible outlays.
The House has passed a bill
granting the 82,000,000,000 request,
but a somewhat different version is
pending In the Senate. No time has
been set for its consideration.
Because poor weather and Insects
have greatly reduced this year’s
wheat crop prospects, no great
amount of money probably will be
needed to support prices of the
grain. In fact, current market prices

KEEPING DENTON COUNTY SOIL AT HOME—An unprotected field, such as the
one in the top photograph, can lose as much as 150 tons of productive topsoil a year
from soil erosion. Contouring and terracing, for which the field in the lower photo-
graph is being prepared, plus cover crops and a crop rotatidn plan will keep Denton
County soil in Denton County.

Cooperators of the
Soil Conservation District
planted several hundred acres of
bluestem grasses and King Ranch
Biuestem this year They have
also sodded many pasture* and
waterways with Bermuda grass.
The technicians of the Soil Con-
servation Service state that most
of these plantings have come up
to a very saUsfsctory stand.
Drilled plantings of bluestem
and King Ranch bluestem are be-
ing mowed so that the weed* do
not shade them out and sap the
moisture. Most grasses are very
tender and weak and do not make
rapid growth the first year. Areas
planted to grass should be mow-
ed before weeds get too large. If
the weeds are not mowed they will
not only shade out the grasses but
they will smother them as well.
Row plantings of grasses should
be cultivated just as soon as the
rows can be located. Most cooper-
ators have found that s 1 to 14
inch sweep set very flat and shal-
low will do the best Job of keep-
ing the middles clean. The weeds
In the tpws are then kept down by
mowing.
Bermuda grass sprig plantings
particularly respond to some type
of cultivation. A regular row crop
cultivation does an excellent Job
or a drag harrow or a diac har-
row set straight has done excellent
jobs of keeping dowm weeds and
loosening the soli so that the run-
ners can peg down.
Beiders slates that more fail-
ure* and unsatisfactory results
from seeding and sodding grasses
are caued by lack of care after
the grasses are up than from any
other reason.
This week. Soil Conaervatlon
Week, farmers should be consider-
ing productivity of their farms in
years to come.
Will the farm still be there or
will there be barren fields, pock-
marked with eorion gulleys?
