Farm bill debate centers on McNary-Haugen plan
Washington January 17 The McNary-Haugen farm relief measure moves as the main issue before the House Agriculture Committee. The bill would grant the president authority to name the federal farm board and apply relief provisions to all agricultural products. The panel also favors the Capper-Ketchnam farm extension bill proposing 960000 for the first year and 500000 for the second year. Chester H Gray of the American Farm Bureau testified that the bill reflects best congressional thinking on surplus handling, with an equalization fee levied at critical points in trade channels rather than on the individual producer.
