Dairymen Fight Subsidies, Price Controls,
Implore Congressmen To Come To Their Aid
WASHINGTON (UP) — The
picture is brighter today for an-
other high grain yield.
Soaking rains over the import-
ant winter wheat section of Kan-
sas and Oklahoma are expected
to save upwards of 50,000,000 bu-
shels of l!)Hi grain—threatened
a few days ago by drouth and
blowing soil.
Fui'iik'I'n ami
in this country ami hungry
people abroad can rejoice
with mid-westerner* at rlie
thought that dangers of a
1944S dust howl have been
eliminated. Restoration of
that ti-ememlous acreage will
give us more grain for flour
this year ami perhaps ease
the strain on ilwimllint: sup-
plies of corn ami other feed
grains.

are on record for termination of
subsidies and removals of price
controls mi dairy products. Their
demand was made last night at
a dinner meeting called in Wash-
ington by the National Co-Oper-
ative Milk Producers Federa-
tion. About 200 congressmen
heard the reading of the dairy
group's recommendations.
The co-op charge is that OI'A
controls over dairying are caus-
ing disintegration of the dairy
industry. It also claims that
black markets in butter are ram-
pant and that dairy prices in
general are in a jumble. It's fur-
ther alleged by this group that
inadequate financial returns are
forcing wholesale dispersal of
dairy herds.
Secretary of Agriculture And-
erson and his top grain officials
presided over a hearing on the
whole feed situation on Tuesday.
No recommendations w ere
made, however, after they heard
advice from leaders of all the top
farm organizations.
Spokesmen for the Pacific nor-
thwest and others asked for
special area treatment under Pre-
sident Truman's grain conserva-
tion program. Representatives
from Oregon and Washington re-
ported it was traditional for
them to feed wheat to livestock
; and poultry just as corn mixes
tare fed in the mid-west and oth-
er areas—when it can be obtain-
ed.
They pleaded that if they're
forced to discontinue the prac-
' tice by 50 per cent, the amount
; frequently mentioned, there
will have to be wholesale liqui-
I dation of flocks and herds.
Those who attended the meet-
i ing reported that officials gave
Northwesterners little hope that

Wickard Says REA
Will Span Country
CHARLOTTE, N. C d'P) —
Rural Electrification Adminis-
trator Claude Wickard says REA
power lines soon will be going
up throughout the country at a
rate never seen before.
The former secretary of agri-
culture told a meeting of REA
directors in Charlotte, North
Carolina, today that many priv-
' " j ate utilities again are intersted in
rural electrification now that
REA has blazed the way. But
Wickard pointed out that so
long as rural people themselves
are in control of the power busi-
ness on a cooperative basis,
every family that wants electric
service will be able to get it.
Wickard said there have been
many instances throughout the
country where power companies
bring— 1 I sure con-1 have tried to buy REA proper-
ties. And +ie warned — to quote
—that the result of such action
"would be that a large percent-
age of the consumers who
would be reached on an REA
coverage basis would be left
wholly at the mercy of the
power companies.

What's more, Halifax says the

he told the Inland Daily Press
