A new tenant purchase program shaped by Sen Josh Lee and Rep Marvin Jones aims to enlarge farm ownership without cash outlay. It would issue up to 100 million dollars in government bonds in the first year, base farm price on production value, and set payments to match a farmer's earning power while protecting housing, living costs, taxes, and interest.

Congressman Sees Aid In Trade Restriction
Denver January 12 Rep Harry B Coffee Nebraska cattleman and congressman predicted the House would approve an amendment he sponsored requiring Senate ratification of reciprocal trade agreements. He told the American National Livestock Association convention that a coalition could marshal support in the House. Coffee disputed testimony that agriculture had not been harmed and cited declines in farm exports since 1922. He warned against resuming negotiations without Senate ratification. George N Peek criticized the administration for cross purposes in farm and trade policy, calling it like riding two horses in opposite directions.
