100 PER CENT CROP LOANS WILL BE DEMANDED FOR FARMERS BY MEMBERS SENATE COMMITTEE Bankhead-Russell Bill Back ed by Potent Group in Upper House -® Spurred to action by recent declines in market prices for some major farm crops, the Senate Agriculture Committee demanded recently that the government put a floor under prices of basic agricultural commodi ties at levels well above the present average. After a brief closed session the Senate group approved a bill of Senators Bankhead and Russell which would require full parity loans on this year’s cotton, corn, wheat, rice, to bacco and peanut crops. On the basis of latest Department of Agriculture calculations of parity prices, this would mean that a farm er could store his wheat, for instance, and get a government loan of $1.34 a bushel on it. whereas the average market price to farmers in mid-May i l^TtHY HEADACHE ( MORNING AFTER ) For jittery, nervous headacheo, take Capudine.

Liquid CAPUDINE was reported by the department as 99.8 cents. Department figures for other crops list parity for corn at 97.6 cents a bushel, with a market price of 81.4: cotton, parity 18.85 cents a pond, and market. 19.17. No figures were avail able today on rice and this is not the marketing season for tobacco and peanuts. Parity is a price calculated to give a farm produce the same purchasing power, in terms of other commodi ties that it had in a base period, us ually 1909-14. Consequently, it fluctuates with the rise and fall of other prices. At the same time that tne Hank head-Russeil bill was reported. Sen ator Smith, chairman of the com mittee. announced appointment of a subcommittee, composed of Senators Thomas of Oklahoma. Hatch and Shipstead to make an inquiry into what Mr. Smith called “this beau tiful scheme to depress farm prices,” presumably referring to government policies of holding down grain prices in an effort to stimulate production of meat and dairy products. The top rate for past government farm loans has been 85 per cent of parity, and President Roosevelt re luctantly approved the measure es tablishing it. Those opposing any higher rate contend that government payments for crop and soil practices give the farmer a parity return on his crop.

The office of Price Administration said reports from Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas indicated that there was virtually no market for the already ripening fruits and berries in these States. Housewives seemingly are not aware that they can secure extra su gar for canning purposes in addi tion to the sugar alloted to them on their ration cards. Application for this additional supply of sugar for canning and preserving should be made at lacal rationing boards. So far, applications for sugar for pre serving have been light. Housewives are urged to apply to their local rationing boards for the sugar they will be allowed for can ning and preserving They wi!
