Rigid Controls On Wheat Crop Likely Final Decision By Secretary Benson WASH INTON, UP — Farmers today seemed certain to be in for rigid federal marketing controls on next year's wheat crop. While secretary of agriculture Ezra T. Benson will not brake the final decision until after next month’s crop report, officials concede there would have to be some pretty big changes to rule out controls in 1954. What made wheat restrictions next year more probable than ever was a 16,000,000 bushel hike Monday in the estimated size of this year’s winter wheat crop. Ironically, the 729,884,000 bushel crop now in prospect would be the Smallest in 10 years, but still big enough to cause a wheat surplus and result in marketing quotas for the first time in 12 years. The last full year that quotas were in effect was 1941. Officials figure that production much above 768,000,000 bushels this year will call out controls. The prospective winter wheat crop added to an indicated output of 910,000,000 bushels of spring wheat would bring total wheat production to 1,039,000,000 bushels. Farm law provides for setting up of marketing controls on the price supported crop when supplies swell above the level required to fill estimated needs and maintain adequate reserves. It’s the 575,000,000 bushell pned up in storage from previous year’s Crops —>much of it government-owned—-(Which is pushing supplies to surplus levels.
