House Tuesday tentatively voted for a per farmer limit on crop subsidies in a saw battle over a massive farm The House approved on a 163 vote an amendment by Rep Paul Findley to scrap the present per crop subsidy on wheat cotton and feed grains putting the House on record with a similar per farmer subsidy approved earlier by the Senate The fight over the subsidy was the chief point of tion as the House took up the big four-year farm but put off final voting on the measure until Wednesday The House earlier had ed what critics called a watered down subsidy sion that would have ordered a per crop limit The Findley amendment nullified that vote The Findley provision was more restrictive in that it would put a limit of for all three crops together It also would ban leasing of cotton allotments which Findley called a wholesale evasion of the present law Approval of the Findley amendment came despite an unusual plea by Speaker Carl V Albert of Oklahoma for its defeat The speaker rarely takes

broilers were lifted earlier this year he recalled high demand for the small poultry supply caused prices to boom We should have learned something from that Butz said The very action forced by
