FARM BLOC
IN CONGRESS
VERY BUSY

WASHINGTON, May 2S-The sol
idarity with VIII n the Hoo Of .ssen.-
bers of congress from the farm states
are organizing to push through a pro-
gram Of legislation asked by the agri-
cultural interests marks the most sig
nifcant development in lawmaking in
secent years.
Divisions in congress n the past
nave been along party lines. Bat in
this new movement no attention what
ever is paid to party. Democrats from
Georgia or Texas are found working
side by side with Republicans from
Kansas or Iowa. In fact, it represents
a complete breaking down Of the old
sectional lines with the South and
middle West standing more closely to-
gether than any other sections.
Some Of the subjects for proposed
legislation either already introduced
and on the way through the congress
sional mill, or being drafted by the
farm conference suDcommltteesy m
clude:
/. The grain futures bill, already
passed the house.
2. Extension of more liberal
banking credit to the farmers, espec-
tally personal credit on crops or farm
machinery, by making the paper re-
discountable more easily.
3. Packer control legislation.
A. The truth in fabric bill.
5. A pure paint bill.
6. Legalizing cooperative farm
movements beyond any doubt.
z. Higher tariff on farm products.
Members from Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa and Minnesota and the Dakotas
