House Panel Prefers Older Subsidy Plans
The House Agriculture Committee voted to scrap a compromise for price supports on feed grains and adopt a provision for stricter guarantees.

Officials Forecast Big U.S. Cotton Production Rise in 1970s
Two Agriculture Department economists forecast a 25 percent or more rise in U.S. cotton production during the 1970s, with output possibly reaching 12 to 13 million bales in coming years. They cite larger farms, faster machinery, improved planting and harvesting tech, and use of computer data to boost efficiency. Exports could climb to 3–5 million bales as mill use grows if fiber quality improves despite ongoing synthetic competition.

Yolles resigns after confrontation over mental health plans

Finch counters that Yolles distorted the administration’s mental health position and refused to cooperate with new program planning. Dr. Bertram Brown is named to replace Yolles, a move seen as counteracting political firing charges. Both Yolles and Brown are Democrats.
