Price Support Plan Faces New Attack in Senate
In Washington AP the government farm price support program faces a Senate attack led by Senators Williams and Ives who seek to trim or alter the 4.85 billion dollar system and question the need for 2 billion more amid reports of short crops. Ellender foresees broad support for the measure while warning that without funds crops like cotton, wheat, corn and rice could lack price support. The program allows advances on stored crops with loan payoffs or government seizure if prices fail to rise.

ISU Entomologist Sees No DDT Soil Danger
Ames Iowa State College extension entomologist Harold Gunderson dismissed rumors that DDT residues in soil reach dangerous levels under normal crop protection use. He noted breakdown by heat and light, and that at recommended Iowa corn borer usage of 3 to 6 pounds per acre every four years, buildup to 25 or 50 pounds per acre would take 17 to 34 years, with tests showing no harm to crops or microorganisms at these amounts.
