Farm Relief Drive Opens In the House
In Washington on January 16 the farm relief campaign began with hearings before the House Agriculture Committee. Farm groups united behind the McNary Haugen bill proposing an equalization fee to finance surplus marketing. The plan envisions a 400 million dollar revolving fund, up from 250 million, to support farm surpluses. House leaders expect a favorable report in about three weeks as Dickinson pursues a tariff revision on agricultural commodities. In the Senate, Moe Master resolution on tariff equalization faced a 3 am vote after a week of debate.
