Maryland Farm Front This Week On Crop Insurance
Maryland officials report the Federal Crop Insurance program shows a sound, workable basis after two years. Premiums have exceeded losses, with 1948 and 1947 experience supporting stability. Price supports for 1949 crops include corn, wheat, and tobacco at 90 percent parity, hogs, eggs, milk, and more at similar levels, with end-year adjustments and extended potato purchases to prevent waste. Britain’s farm policy is similar, emphasizing farmer security and efficient production toward postwar goals.

Notes From Congress Signal Strain Ahead For Bills
A weekly update outlines looming costs from bills under consideration in committees. Key items include raising the minimum wage to 75 cents and potential industry by industry boosts to a dollar, with wide exemptions removed. Veterans pensions proposals offer up to 120 dollars monthly for certain disabled veterans but run into massive cost estimates. A Merchant Marine bill would require at least half of foreign trade cargo funded by aid to be carried on American ships at U.S. rates. Senate Rules committees are moving to curb filibusters to advance civil rights legislation.
