Farm aid bill to stabilize wheat prices proposed
A $160 million proposed measure would buy wheat for storage and sale to stabilize prices, using bonded elevators and a tariff approach to support domestic farmers. The plan, backed by Representative Little Democrat of Kansas, aims to shield agriculture from world price swings and protect exportable surplus through government purchases, storage, and distribution. Also noted is the sixth anniversary of Prohibition with events and remarks from prohibition advocates.
