AGRICULTURAL ACCOUNTS
GO TO HOUSE THIS WEEK

Secretary Wilson has detailed num-
Der of clerks to prepare the data asked
for by Chairman Littleheld. of the
House Committee on Expenditures in
the Department of Agriculture. 1t will
take several days TO have all the mem
Oranda and figures in shape for the use
of the committee.
IL is likely that all the information
asked Tor by Representative Littlefield
will be ready by the last of the week.
The investigation will probably require
the presence before the committee Of
several officials of the Agricultural De-
partment to explain certain expenditures
authorized under the general law
The inquiry, Il is thought, will result
in amending some sOfs the laws under
which large sums OF money have been
