Hoover Signs Farm Relief Bill Amid Senate Endorsement
President Hoover approved the farm relief bill placing it into effect after weeks of debate. The measure authorizes 500 million dollars to be used by the federal farm board to stabilize crops through corporations and councils, with nine board members and a ninth from the agriculture secretary. The act ends the debenture plan dispute, remains linked to the tariff question, and marks Hoover’s first major legislative goal from the special session.
