House trims Agriculture appropriation amid debt concerns
The House passed the Agriculture appropriation bill at 717 million after cutting the President's 820 million request. Funding for soil conservation remained, while an amendment to slash range practices and fertilizer programs to 150 million narrowly failed. The debate cited national debt fears and calls for broad economies across agencies. Several local figures, including John Barton of Ballinger, visited Washington, and Mexican labor bill fate remained uncertain as the Rules Committee blocked action pending further changes.
