No Wheat Supports Set Yet July 25 Deadline For Parity Level
Washington June 14 UP Agriculture department officials face a race against time as Congress delays farm legislation. Wheat farmers plan winter planting as early as August with a July 1 deadline for 1955 support levels. Benson could set wheat supports at 75 percent of parity if Congress stalls. House panel favors a one year extension of 90 percent parity for basic crops. Senate leaders deem extensions unlikely. Referendum must be held by July 25 unless extended to August 14.
