Many contended that congression- I al action on a new wheat program 1 would be necessary if controls are rejected, to prevent a drop in the support price of SI. 19 a bushel, Under controls, the floor would I be $1.81 a bushel but farmers could sell only the amount of wheat they can grow on 55 million acres. That amount is the same as this crop, supported at $2 06 a bushel, but 30 million acres below the postwar peak.

The limitation was proposed under farm law to prevent increasing the crop surplus. The government already has 2xi billion dollars in- vested in surplus.

This limitation whs approved by a 73.3 per cent vote.
