In farm circles this summer the money script using orange and blue stamps to aid surplus commodities drew interest. Secretary Henry A. Wallace said food script will be used nationwide, with Senator Richard B. Russell Jr proposing a certificate plan to cover growers’ allotted domestic crop and let buyers pay the parity difference to purchase certificates.
