Farm relief plans foreclosed this session
Washington Feb 1 Congress likely will not pass a comprehensive farm relief bill before March 4. Leaders from both parties say time is too short for major legislation, even as emergency measures and a Roosevelt early-session loom. The proposal would raise crop prices via a domestic allotment plan, create a $1 billion federal lending body for farmers, form national conciliation commissioners, strengthen land banks, extend mortgages, and equalize joint stock land banks. A Senate subcommittee led by Sen. Pletcher has begun hearings on emergency farm credit, but few expect passage this season.
