PROBE UNDER WAY
To HELP FARMERS
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON. July 11.-Farm-
ers' organizations of the country
have a forceful representation here
Monday, as the congressional joint
commission of agricultural inquiry
composed of five members of the SEN
ate and five members Of the house
begins it's inquiry into the broad
question, What Is the, Matter With
Agriculture?", it is announced today
by the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton that is preparing for the ex-
tended congressional hearings.
The federation has been collecting
information in thirty. states, includ-
ing Georgia, with the aid of state
and county branches.
The congre ssional commission,
which has power to go into every
phase of the present agricultural de-
preston, and the reasons Wherefor,
is promised the closest cooperation
by the various farming associations,
including the National Farmers
union.
Representative Sydney Anderson,
of Minnesota, chairman of the COM
mission, says that body will conduct
rapid yet systematic and complete
investigation into the agricultural
situation. Particularly will it inves-
tigate the difference between the
price for agricultural products re-
ceived by the producer and the price
ultimately paid by the consumer, the
reason for the large profits of mid
diemen, and comparative figures of
profits in the agricultural and other
industries.
The banking and financial re-
sources of the country as they have
been extended to or withheld from
agricultural board. Marketing and
agriculture will also be a special
subject Of Investigation by the
transportation facilities, or the lack
of them, will be probed by the joint
commission of ten. All the ills of
agriculture, according to Represen-
tative Anderson, will be investigated
by the commission.
During the course Of it's inquiry
the joint commission will proba bly,
consider and make recommended ton
regarding a dozen bills now pending
in congress for the relief of agricul-
ture, including the Norris bill for an
export corporation; the Phipps-Dow-
ell roads bill for farm-to-market
roads; an increase in the interest
rate on the obligations of the joint
stock producers, and other measures
declared to be urgent to relieve the
present situation in the agricultural
industry.
