Recently the Fifteenth District Con
grcssman has been talking with members
of the House Agricultural COmmitte"
about appropriations for bringing pro
Iducers and consumers of agricultural
products together. This concerns Texas
farmers more, perhaps. than those of any
other section because of their distance
from the large centcrs of population.
Lindsay Waters, OF Harlingen was here
at the beginning of the session in the in
tercst Of this work Mr.. Garner accom-
panied NJ to the Department Of Agri-
culture, where they had interviews with
Secretary Houston and others having q
part in these efforts II have talked with
Representative Lever. the chairman of
! the Agricultural Committee, and with
Representatives James Young. Of kauf
man, Texas. who is a member of to, com
lmittce." said Mr.. Garner. Both of them
tell me they are ready to give the Secrc
ltary Of Agriculture all the money needed
to carry on this most useful work | am
certain the Committee will vote abundant
appropriations to demonstrate what can
be done toward assuring the farmers the
best poss Bile opportunities for marketing
their produce advantageously.

RECONCILED TO DELAY.

"I am rcconcilcd to the delay win
those reports" Mr.. Garner said today.
"bdcause it has been decided that no new
projects shall be appropriated for at tins
session of Congress. Some days ago
Sneaker Clark and Majority Leader Tn
derwood held meeting with the char
men of various committees that have ap-
preparation bills in charge. 1t is deemed
very desirable that appropriations be rs
economical as possible this year. The
Democratic party is pledged to economy
of expenditures. There was and is great
danger Of appropriation totals consider
ably in excess of the billion dollar mark
which would give our opponents warrant
for criticising us vigorously. At this
meeting 1t was decided that everybody
must hold down and that the Rivers and
Harbors Committee must confine its ap-
preparations in the bill now being framed
to projects now under way.
