UNITED STATES (Cont. From Page One) cents a dozen n<-xt year. It had hoped that current low prices in a free and uncontrolled market would induce midwest farmers to <-ut bac k surplus production by killing off hens and holding down orders for new chicks. But. with farm prices of ungrad ed eggs skidding to as low as 20 cents a dozen in some midwest areas, poultrymen and egg-drying plants brought pfessure on senators and congressmen of both parties to bring pressure on the department. Minnesota and lowa were in the vanguard. Sen. Hubert Humphrey. D.. Minn, was among those who relayed complaints ot constituents to agriculture secretaryCharles F. Brannan. ADAMS COUNTY (Cont. From Page One) more than II.OOOJMIO.OM in corn during the current marketing year. How much it gets back depends on the corn market. No corn allotments were set for fanners in less Important producing counties. But most growers in other corn belt states will be under controls. They must stay within their allotments or lose their right to government price support guarantees on their 195<t crop Some farmers will be asked to cut plantings more than the average. others less The <(»unty-by-county breakdown will be announc ed later. While allotments will not apply to farmers in less Important pro ducing areas, their price support floor will be 25 percent lower than that of the commercial growers Brannan included 837 counties in his list of commercial areas They are In 22 states. The allotment for this area was set at 46.246.973 acres In 1949, the same area planted 57.579.tuu) of the nation's 87.910.M0 acres. Assuming noncommercial growers do not Increase their I*M plantings and the commercial growers stay within their allotments, total plantings next year will be 76.58UJMM) acres. That would be the smallest since IB9<' when the farmers harvested 74.785.MH) acres But with only "normal" yields, it would prodaca 2.627.000.0 M) bushels of corn—or far more than in 1890. Brannan attributed this to in creased yields an acre stemming from improved seeds and improv ed farming methods. He said this year's crop 3 * • bushels to the acre compared with only 25 at the tura of the century Technicians have discovered that burning several "king six* wwd en matches in quick succession tends to overcome cooking or other odors The matches give off sulfur dioxide, which disguises the an pleasant odor.
