Dickinson bill eyed for export corps to buy surpluses
Babson Park special notes Representative Dickinson of Iowa may address Congress on the Dickinson bill proposing an export corporation to purchase surplus farm products. The piece cautions readers that this year’s surplus is not larger for major crops, with corn and tobacco up slightly but oats, wheat, and potatoes down, suggesting the bill only fits an identified emergency. It also comments on British Commonwealth wealth and future development with capital investment, plus Tire industry activity and plant capacity at about 75 percent as spring demand shifts.
