Farm Support Debate
To Affect Pocketbooks
Some Would Benefit
By New System,
While Others Would
Lose Out
By VINCENT KIRK!
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON 'UP' The out
come of the impending f'ghi i
Congress over farm support will
have a far-reaching effect on the
pocketbook of the nation' fann
ers. Producers of some crop will be
affected more than others.
The big issue is: Should price
supports be kept at the rigid, high
war-time levels'.' Or should thr
new system of flexible support be
allowed to go into effect, as srlu d
uled, on 1950 crops'; "

Counting Scales On Fish
Tells How Old It Is
MAYWT30D, 111. ( UP) Fisher
men are generally content to know
how much a fish weighs, but scien
tists of the American Can Com
pany laboratories here now can tell
how old a fish is by consulting ils
scales.
By examining a salmon's scales
under a microscope, the scientists
can determine its age by counting
rings on tree trunks. Finding out
how old salmon are, and how long
they have been in fresh or salt
water is part of the procedure in
testing the quality of each year's
salmon pack.

into account price trends during
the last 10 years.
The new system would lower the
"parity" price for peanuts, pota
toes, cotton, and most grains, in
cluding wheat and corn. It would
boost the "parity" price for wool,
rice, hogs, beef cattle, milk, bul
terfat. veal calves, lambs, chick
ens, and turkey.
Thus, it would tend to encourage
farmers to shift toward a livestock
economy and produce more of the
meat and dairy products which
consumer wan).
Opposition lo the "modernized"
parity formula comes largely from

ports continued. Not only would
the flexible svstem reduce their
supports, but their crops would
get a lower parity price under the
modernized" formula.
Some congressmen say privately
this may leave room for a possible
compromise" under which the
modernized parity would be re
tained, but support levels set up
under the new law would be raised.

Maine Town To Vanish
Under Man-Made Lake
FLAGSTAFF. Me. (UP) The
1949 town meetings of this town of
90-odd residents contained only a
single article:
"To see what action, if any, the
corporation will take in regard to
selling the schoolhouse."
That was the only unfinished
busiiu s. for the town which was
scheduled to vanish before time for
the next town meeting.
By 1950, Flagstaff will be at the
bottom of the deepest part of a
new lake to be created by the
Central Maine Power Co. s new
Dead River dam.

men Not Working
For Orphanage
Local Baptist were upset this
week, as magazine .subscription
agents claimed they were from the
Baptist Orphanage in Thomasville.
Rev. L G. Flliolt, pastor of the
First Baptist church, called offi
cials of Hie Orphanage, who as
sured him thai no representative
of the Orphanage ever sold maga
zines. The agenU, who were from out-of-town,
apparently left within a
few minutes afler being confronted
with the known facts. They have
not been seen in town since.
"It is all a sad mistake," Miss
Sallie McCracken, an official of
the Orphanage said. Miss Mc
Cracken is from Haywood, and said
further, "please tell all Haywood
folks not to lake stock in such un
founded claims we do not have
anyone from I he Orphanage sell
ing subscriptions to magazines."
