Baton Rouge.-The old controversy
over the State fertilizer and feed
stuffs analysis and inspection service
broke out in the House Of Representa-.
tives, producing disorderly scenes.
Tho storm ragged for four hours, and
did not subside until the Lee-Norris
bill. a measure regulating the ferti'
lizer analytical work and inspection
service of the State, had been indefin-
itely postponed. During the acrimo-
NOUS debate on the bill profanity was
hurled across the hall BY one of the
members.
The row started at the morning SEES
sion of the House, when MIR. Claiborne
asked for a suspension of the rules to
take up the Lee-N0rris bill out of the
rugular order. The rules were sus-
pended, and Mr.. Claiborne offered a
series of amendments that would have
had the effect of taking the analytt-
cal work and fertilizer inspection serv-
ice from the control of the State
Board of Agriculture. where it was
lodged under the provisions of the
Lee-Norris bill. and placing the entire
system under the jurisdiction of the
State Commissioner of Agriculture.
Nit: Claiborne explained that the
amendments that he offered had been
given to him by Mr.. Lee of Bienville-
the author Of the original bill.
Mr.. Claiborne said that Mr.. Leo
told him that the amendments were In
tho nature OF q compromise In the
fertilizer controversy. and that, al
though he had stood with forces that
we're lined up against Commissioner
Bruner 1t the last session OF the Leg.
islature, he had agreed to the CON-
promise because no believed the inter-
ests of the State would be- best served
thereby. Mr.. Picard of Ascension.
one of the members OF the Committee
on Agriculture, Mr.. Claiborne said.
had approved the compromise amend
ments, a well az several other men,
bers of the House.
Mr.. Cooper Of Rapides attacxed the
amendments, declaring that they were
not approved by the Committee ON
Agriculture. Mr.. Cooper moved tho
rejection of the amendments. but his
motion was lost on roll call vote of
20 yeas against 6S nays. The amend
ments were then adopted without d.
vision. and the bill was engrossed and
passed to third reading.
