to . the compromise measure.
- The farm bill provides new four

feed grains, wool, rice and other
commodities.
Administration experts estimate
that the bill will cost $4 billion in
the 1966 crop year, or about $100
million less than the programs
cosiTin the current crop year.
The estimated cost is about $450
million below the Senate bill and
about $30 million under the House
bill.
Approval by the Senate and
House is expected to be routine.
In addition to provisions for price
supports and surplus controls on
individual crops, the measure also
includes a major new program of
general cropland retirement intend
ed to pay farmers to switch up to
40 million acres of land to non

Another provision, intended to
appeal to city dwellers, offers extra
payments to farmers who manage
idled acres for wildlife growth and
allow hunters and others to use
the land without charge for recrea
