Federal farm officials predict smaller 1970 feed grain participation
Federal officials forecast a much smaller turnout for this year’s federal feed grain program in the Midwest compared with last year’s record. Nearly 1.5 billion dollars were paid to hold down corn barley and sorghum acreage last year. Harold Wilson is expected to call a national election for March 31 as his popularity rises. The 1970 census by mail, supported by Andrew F. Brimmer, is deemed more accurate than in person. The Defense Department reports 2,265 U.S. servicemen killed in Viet Nam since Jan 1, 1961 and 10,725 wounded.
