FISd Moves to Raise Celery Tariff for County Growers
Congressman Hamilton Fish Jr seeks a tariff increase under the Fordney act to aid Orange County black dirt celery farmers harmed by Bermuda imports. He submitted the request to Thomas Marvin of the tariff commission, with growers ready to provide figures. Action aims to shield local celery from cheap import competition, as President Coolidge may issue a proclamation once facts are reported.

Orange County Reacts to McNary-Haugen Farm Aid Plan
The McNary-Haugen bill draws little direct benefit for Orange County farmers as it targets Southern tobacco and cotton and Western grain. Dairymen’s League Coop’s J G Petherbridge notes parallels to pooling but warns the farm board could buy surplus and levy losses on aided farmers, encouraging over production. He suggests voluntary cooperatives of tobacco and cotton growers might offer better relief.
