Farm Fight Ends With Parity Payment Increase in Senate
Washington reports a struggle between Senator and House leaders over the 1941-42 farm appropriation. The House passed a 212 million parity payment package, while the Senate boosted to 450 million with 150 million for this year’s crops. Senators Russell and Bankhead argued the larger sum unnecessary post loan bill, noting parity may be reached this year but next year’s needs are uncertain as loan terms expire after a year. Loans for 1941 crops set at 13.49 cents cotton, 96.22 cents wheat, 88.87 cents corn, 19 cents tobacco flue cured, 8.41 cents fire cured, and 18.53 cents burley.
