Higher Farm Aid Approved
The House Agriculture Committee voted to hold price supports for hogs poultry and eggs at not less than 90 percent of parity and approved revisions to delay reductions. The measure extends farm price supports to June 30 1950 and sets floors for six basic commodities and other crops while keeping wool supports intact. It also preserves authority for acreage restrictions and marketing quotas though quotas appear unlikely this year.
