Research And Promotion Proposal Dropped From Cotton Premium Micronaire To Be Loan Base By GERALD LDEARING THE USDA HAS WON TWO MORE concessions from the Cotton Subcommittee of the House Agriculture Committee even the victory may be reversed at a later date The subcommittee yesterday accepted the USDA demand that the research and promotion feature of the bill be eliminated This was a provision that would have had the USDA collect 3 to 5 per cent of the payments to the farmer for research and promotion Originally It had been proposed that the money come from USDA funds and not from the farmer The proposal should be restored in one form or another in order that effective means can be found to develop new uses for cotton new and better growth practices and improved promotion of cotton and cotton products The Cotton Board and the Cotton Producers Institute have done much with the limited funds they have The subcommittee also agreed to fix the loan at 90 per cent of the world price with that price representing Middling 1 inch cotton at average location 3S-49 micronaire The committee had resisted this change which has the effect of lowering the price to the farmer by 45 points The CCC resale rate was fixed at 110 per cent of the loan plus reasonable carrying charges instead of the full carrying charges Fully carrying charges would have locked the cotton In the loan THERE WAS NO AGREEMENT ON the number of acres the USDA would support with production payments It originally said the figure would be 111 million acres Then it said that the allotments would be 111 million and the acreage eligible to be planted and supported would be 103 million acres A delegation from the committee is preparing to talk with the USDA In an effort to resolve the argument by Thursday of

brokers saw little cause for alarm covery from midsession selling wave that sent the Dow average about 4 points below Tuesday's close Analysts said the decline was a panicky reaction to the announcement that the United States was providing advisers and tactical air strikes for South Vietnamese operations in Cambodia The late recovciy Indicated many investors had decided to view the announcement coolly until the President elaborates on its implications Thursday night will be an increasing trend toward centralization of controls" For example in New Jersey the Department of Conservation and Economic Development the development arm of the state has been abolished he said A new division of environmental affairs has been Commodities Bally Cuts Off Early Declines New crop soybeans corn and wheat future declined from 14 to 2 cents a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade Wednesday but a late rally late In the session heavily trimmed or eliminated the losses Early selling of wheat futures was generally attributed to the outlook for the new crop which one agricultural statistician termed most favorable Later in the session however some concern was expressed over the tight Chica go wheat stocks situation and the firmness of the cash basis and this brought some buying into the May option which closed more than a cent here Rye futures however were mixed in light trade Early selling in the corn pit was attributed to a trade report that Australia may have more grain sorghums for export this year because of an expected record crop Oats futures also weakened but later in the session corn and oats rallied under strong buying that developed short covering Soybean oil and meal futures also came under early liquidation and tended to influence selling In soybeans Meal lost around $250 a ton and oil some 25 points but both recovered near the close Cotton futures No 2 closed unchanged to 50 cents a hale higher yesterday in New York There were 22 May delivery
