• Sec. Benson
(Prom page 1)
sombled farm editors, that
the law prohibits his releas
ing stocks of surplus wheat
to farmers at reduced prices
to delieve the costjsqueeze,
as has been suggested by
NEPPCO
Also, no great change in
the rate of USDA purchases
of eggs is contemplated, the
secretiry added. Nor is a
fowl purchese program, sim
ilar to the turkey program,
expected to appear.
He stated emphatically
that he does not expect any
unusual storage problem for
government stocks of sur
plus corn this fall, due to
the “no-control, $1 12 per
bushel support program’ v’o
ted in this year by the na
tion’s corn producers
The Secretary gave strong
indication of his intention to
work for termination of the
wheat program m the near
future, saying the increased
storage bill is drawing in
ci easing opposition to the ov
erall wheat program (Benson
has been active in efforts to
draw attention to the high
cost of surplus storage)
Benson read a prepared
s+atement concerning the
‘ Food for Peace Conference”
meeting here at this time
He indicated his support of
the Presidential Program,
but again did not list speci
fic forms, or given details of
the progrim as he feels it
should be administered.
THIS YEAR growers of
vegetable seed expect to
harvest 21 per cent more
acres than last year of the
large seed, such as beans,
corn and peas, and two per
cent more acres of the small
seeds
