July Rate Lower On Flour Subsidy Rates of subsidy payments to milling companies on flour production during July will be sharply below the June schedule, according to the Defense Supplies Corporation. The decreased rates ieflect lower market prices for wheat. The payments are made to hold down the cost of flour and flour products to consumers. The July rates (with comparable June rates) are: Hard wheat ground outside the Pacific Coast area, 15i cents a bushel (19 cents); soft wheat ground outside the Pacific Coast area, 14 J cents a bushel (18 cents); durum wheat ground outside the Pacific Coast area, 13 cents a bushel (20S cents); all wheat ground in the Paciif ic Coast area, 19 cents a bushel (26 cents). one-four- set-asi- de Cattle Numbers Likely To Remain Near Record Instead of attaining the reduction in cattle numbers which was urged by WFA in its 1944 food production goals, present indications are that problems arising d from the .record or numbers of cattle will still face beef producers in 1945.

To assist farmers in expanding their harvest into the marginal acres of legume and grass seeds and encourage them to leave available acres for seed instead of cutting them for hay, the AAA's $3.50 per acre payment for harvesting grass and legume seeds will apply to the entire acreage harvested under the practice, and a special payment will be made on a pound basis for red clover, alfalfa, and alsike clover. Previously, the AAA practice payment had been limited to 25 acres per farm. The special payment rates are 3 cents per pound .cleaned basis) for red clover seed, and 21 cents per pound (clean basis) for alfalfa and alsike. To be eligible for the special payment, seed must be sold to a dealer, or if not sold to a dealer must be cleaned and tested. The producer must submit satisfactory evidence to the county AAA committee. Both the unlimited AAA acreage payment which applies to all seeds included under the original practice and special payments on the three kinds of seeds will be in addition to the support prices which are regarded as being extremely attractive. Needs are also particularly acute for sweet clover, ladine clover and sudan grass seed. We have been using more of these legumes and grass seeds than we have produced since Pearl Harbor as a result of unfavorable weather and heavier war demands for forage and food cropsImports have also declined. "Unless everything possible is done to increae the harvest of these seeds this year, the available resupply will fall far short of E. N. Chief AAA quirements." Dodd asserts.
