The second storm signal he pointed out was the rapidly accelerating rate of loss which climbed, on the basic crops, from about $,000,000 per year before World; War II to about $120,000,000 per year in fiscal 1951.

There was a time when the traditional wheat growing areas of the country were fairly well defined, but with the incentive provided by the rigid high support system, other sections of the country have been encouraged to increase their wheat acreage, not only providing new competition for the normal markets but also adding to the overwhelming surpluses, he said. He noted that while rigid high price supports may have brought temporary profits to farmers in the original wheat belt, they had also created a permanent threat to their prosperity in the form of several tremendous new competitive areas. Sen. Hennett said that his position favoring flexible supports was shared by most of the farmers in Utah and in the nation and he expressed pleasure and pride in the backing given Secretary Benson by Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower and former Agriculture Secretary, Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (I)., N.M.) WATCH OUT FOR VACATIONISTS!
