FOOD SURVEY BILL
 PASSES HOUSE BUT
 VOTE NOT RECORDED
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The ad- ministration's food survey bill, first of the food cOnuol measures, was passed by the house today without q record vote. It appropriated S14,770,0 for an immediate investigation of the country'S food resources and for meas ures to stimulate production. simi- lar bill is under debate in the senate and may be passed there Wednesday.
 The agriculture department expects to present fairly accurate estimate of food resources within three weeks after the bill is signed by the president, Sec retary Houston said today. As soon as the measure becomes a law the de- partment will start it's 17,000 employees and the 150,000 voluntary crop reporters to work on the investigation. The pre- llminary report to be made within three weeks will be supplemented with monthly reports and probably by a further complete report within six i months if necessary
 ] Material gathered will be turned over to Herbert C. Hoover, who will be i named to head a food administration as soon as the pending regulatory food measure becomes law.
 The survey bill passed virtually as it came from the committed Miss Rankin, the woman representative from Montana, inserted an amendment which would require the department of agri- i culture to use women in the survey work whenever practicable An amend ment by Representative Mckenzie of l Illinois. would make all persons em- i ployed under the bill liable to military service, and another would permit citi- zens to refuse to go more than 300 miles from their homes or places of business to testify in food inquiry.
 i As originally drawn, the bill carried more than $1S,000,000, but committee changes reduced the total These are the principal amounts appropriated:
 For seed, $5,77S,000; education for increasing production by waste elim- ination and conservation, $4,34S, 400; general survey, $2,522, 800; eradication of livestock diseases and livestock em- ployment work, s8S5,000 miscellaneous i Items, S5f7 400, and eradication of plant diseases and insects, s44100O
 Many republicans, including former 1 Speaker Cannon, repeatedly attacked the measure as wasteful, particularly as to the survey feature. Chairman Lever of the agriculture committee, de- clared heatedly in closing debate today l they were raising a false issue.
 Tt is not economy that these gentle men desire to propagate that accounts for the opposition to the bill" he said Tt may be that the opposition can be counted for because we are carrying
 power in the bill to go into storage concerns and find out who is hoarding and who is speculating"
 The senate devoted the day to de- batting and adopting an amendment by Senator Mcclellan, reducing the appro- rriation for the eradication of the cat tie tick and other livestock diseases fl om s1S23,0G0 to sS25,000 A motion to eliminate an appropriation of s2.- yyO,0V0 tor seeds to be sold to the farm CT at cost by the department of agri- culture and tor the eradication of plant diseases was pending when the senate | adjourned

GROWING

 ONWEDNESDAY
Drive for One-Day Census
 of Farm Conditions Will Be Striking Feature of Work in This Big Valley

Meeting chairman and speakers for the schOolhouse farm rallies to be held on Wednesday evening meet this morn ing in the chamber of commerce at g o'clock to discuss plans for making these meeting successful. The list of meeting places which started off with 20, then grew to 24, and now grown to 2f. meet ings at Buckeye, Palo Verde and LlD- erty having been added In each of the 27 places there will be one or more prominent farmers in charge with one or more authoritative speakers. They will prove fitting and practical finale to Memorial day, their significance be- ing to gather in the one great drive the crop information which the government in it's hour of need must have.
 It is planned in this big drive to ascertain by means of district maps and other blanks, which will be provided by Government Agent W. A. Barr and those assisting him in this work the exact crop conditions of this section The information is sought not from mere curiosity but facts will be gleaned which will show what practical CO., o0eration may do to add production For example, the acreage in outstand- lng crops will be ascertained, the seed condition will be canvassed, what
 
 and. perhaps most important of all, the meetings will find out what help in- dividual farmers will need to secure maximum results. If they need finan- cial help an effort will be mace to get it for them. If they are short on labor, that need will be found and a solution sought. If seed is lack'lg a way will be discovered to get the needed supply. Hans for cooperative and individual silos will come to light and others ar ranged and so on though long list the information being placed upon the particular district map at which the meeting is being held
 All of this information will be finally put in finished form so that the hustlers of the Salt River valley can work to- gether to get the big results all want tC secure to aid Uncle Sam in feeding himself, his children and his allies.
 The meetings will serve as an ex- change of ideas. furnish advice in the solution of problems and make men | helpful to each other as they should be | For all of these reasons it is expected that practically all the farmers of this 1 section will be on hand at the meeting! ! Wednesday evening.

Frank Weinstock, Maurice Goodman and William Deitsch, proprietors of the Bear State Pants company, of Los Angeles, are in the city, having been induced to come here by Col. L. Byrens to look over the field with the object of moving their plant here. They are well pleased with the town and the out look and are only doubtful of their ability to secure the necessary number of employees. They employ about 200 women and girls in Los Angeles and would need at least that many here
 The firm is well established in Los Angeles where it has done an exten- sive business for several years. They stated that it is not their purpose to make the Phoenix house a branch of the Los Angeles plant but the main one. Such a plant as they would put in here would involve an expenditure of not less than S100,000.
