 Grain Exchange, He Says

Washington. February 29.-.I have known the Secretary of Agriculture for long time; he served In the House with me and he has been my friend-personal- ly and poitically--for nearly 40 years.

 Former Speaker Cannon delivered this tribute to Secretary Wilson in the House today. It was applauded on both sides of the chamber and came near the con- clusion of general debate in which va rious members attacked the department of agriculture and the secretary.
 The discussion of the agricultural hill in the House took in the New York cot ton exchange, which Representative lief lin of Alabama denounced.
 He said there was no more reason for a cotton exchange than there was for a "hay'' exchange or an "oats" exchange.
