houses will be constructed in
France under the contract.
The following steps will be tak
en before all phases of the French
housing transaction are com
pleted
(1) The United States exporter
participating in the barter will
sell in foreign countries the sur
plus agricultural commodities ob
tained from CCC under the bar
ter contract
(2) Proceeds of these sales
in whatever currency is accept
able to the French Government
will be converted by the Bank of
France to francs and will be paid
to the French construction firm
by the U S exporter on the basis
of ‘construction progress certifi
cates” issued to the French firm
by the Department of Defense
(3) Inasmuch as quarters al
lowances and the housing part of
station allowances to American
service families are discontinued
by the Department of Defense
when the families occupy Govern
ment owned houses, the allow
ances that would otherwise be
paid, minus amounts necessary
for maintenance and operation,
will be turned over by ’he De
partment of Defense to the Com
modity Credit Corporation to pay
for the surplus commodities bar
tered
CCC and the Department of
Defense have signed an agree
ment that will run for approxi
mately 17 years the estimated
time required to make full pay
ment out of allowances However,
the agreements of CCC and the
Department of Defense with the
private firms will run for only a
little over two years
The barter transaction an
nounced today represents the cul-'
mination of negotiations begun m
July 1955 and therefore does not
conform to the present barter pol
icies announced on May 28, 1957,
under which future barter trans
actions will be approved only on
the basis of assurance that they
result in a net increase in exports
of agricultural commodities.
Foreign Countries
Produce Bumper Crops
The recently harvested wheat
and barley crops in India have
been exceeded only by the re
cord production of these crops
in 1954. The current wheat crop
in that country is tentatively esti
mated at 321 million bushels,
and the barley crop at 130 mil
lion.
France, according to the Fore
ign Agricultural Service, also ex
pects a bumper crop of wheat
this year. Current forecasts in
dicate a crop of more than 400
million bushels which would
compare with 240 milion bushels
last year and the 194549 aver
age.

Blackleg Danger
Increasing Now;
Kills Young Stock
With the arrival of the black
leg season, authorities today
warned cattle laisers to be on the
alert for this disease, and to em
ploy protective vaccination in
danger areas \
The American Foundation for
Animal Health pointed out that
the threat of blackleg increases
with the arrival of the pasture
season The disease is one of the
nation’s greatest killers of cattle.
It most often strikes animals
under two yers of age. The best
safeguard against it is vaccina
tion.
Farmers who had their calves
vaccinated at one or two weeks of
age should have them re-vaccinted
again by the veterinarian by the
time they are four months old.
Blackleg spores axe very diffi
cult to kill. The organisms that
cause the disease live in the soil
and are resistant to heat, cold,
drought or floods
