Weatherford argues certificate plans operate without government subsidy, reducing federal costs and letting farmers grow crops best suited to their land. Herb W. Clutter of Garden City urges industry unity, saying a commodity group can resolve wheat farmers’ problems and that producers must invest to market efficiently. 1954 records show the national death rate at an all time low of 9.2 per 1,000.

More Wheat Program Signers Are Sought
London reports the International Wheat Council urges major wheat importing countries not yet signatories of the International Wheat Agreement to join. The council cites abundant exports from the United States and Canada and weak 1953-54 import demand as reasons for market stabilization needs. Only about 26 percent of world wheat trade was covered by the agreement in 1953-54, down from 61 percent the prior year due to Britain's Italy's and Sweden's absence and low import demand.
