Reserve stock plan looms as key agricultural issue
Washington Manhattan cryptic on strategic reserve of key farm commodities emerges as major farm policy debate. Robert G. Thelenow of the Corn Refiners Association warns Congress will likely revisit grain reserve questions as supplies tighten. He suggests a formal program could dampen price swings by buffering outputs from demand shifts. Union spokesmen back government backed reserves with ownership shares, though others urge broader federal control. The proposal includes 14 million tons of corn and feed grain in government hands plus 7.6 million tons farmer owned but government stored.

Tillage methods linked to dust pollution in air
Dr. D. E. Smika of the University of Nebraska, North Platte, reports that tillage practices influence airborne dust. In trials across cultivation, mixed use, and permanent grass, dust per acre per month averaged 62, 49, and 23 pounds respectively, suggesting ground cover reduces dust and stubble mulch and minimum tillage may help.
