County again sees low potato plantings amid price fears
In a valley noted for potatoes, growers report a persistent shortage of seed tubers and uncertain markets. Emil Heck notes many switch to corn, wheat and alfalfa as a belief that potatoes are a high risk crop. Government price ceilings of $3 per hundred pounds deter profit, pushing some farmers to abandon potato farming due to climate worries and wet springs. Local families near Eudora and Lawrence join other growers stepping away from potatoes this year.

GOP Leaders See Easy Path on Price and Wage Controls
Washington readers report after a White House call that President Eisenhower and Congress could agree on price and wage controls. The debate centers on lifting ceilings before April 30 or letting them lapse and whether the President should regain power in future emergencies. Senate and House Banking Committee leaders Capehart and Wolcott did not reveal the President’s stance, and said the matter may appear in the state of the union. They differed on standby authority, with Capehart supporting it and Wolcott opposed but potentially swayed. The aim of the conference was to align on basic economic factors shaping policy.
