Humphrey Attacks Soil Bank Plan In Senate Hearing
Senator Humphrey of Minnesota sharply criticizes the new soil bank proposal as a low-price, surplus plan. He labels it scandalous and warns it will hurt farmers, opposing a feature that would allocate surpluses to farmers who refrain from growing cotton, wheat, corn, and rice. Also reported is the death of shoe store operator W. E. Harrison, 158, in Jola, Kansas.
