Crop prospects ease hopes and sowing plans amid shortages
U S agriculture board reports peanut acreage at 78 percent of goal while a related survey shows slightly higher than target for other food crops. Early crops face reductions in onions lemons peppers and cabbage and Americans see little relief from fresh vegetable shortages. Farmers plan to plant near goals for wheat soybeans tobacco hay and grains, with some crops above or below targets, as livestock feed prospects improve and meat milk eggs remain at record levels. In Congress, labor costs in parity legislation draw Senate scrutiny after a House move questioned timing and potential veto risk.

Experience rating urged by Pennsylvania employers
More than 100000 employers told Senate and House Labor committees they favor experience rating in unemployment compensation. A bill would let employers contribute to the fund based on their success, from 1 to 2.7 percent of wages, with backing from William N. Hardy and Frank B. Cliffe of GE. The fund totals about 871 million dollars, with 200 million paid in benefits in five years, while the Industrial Union Council opposes, arguing it misreads market control and risks the fund.
