The first move in the Agriculture
Committee this time was successful

Compulsory Limitation Of crop

by Representative Young. Of North

Of any plan to stabilize prices.

his plan had the unqualified in

The government corporation

Congress ought not to under

I'VE, therefore, require, before
undertaking to stabilize the price,
that at leaG rs per cent of you
file sworn statements with the
county agents that you will re-

extent Of 25 per cent"
IL they do this. the govern

have a continuous supply of
wheat. to buy only from these

Mr.. Young explained that 600.
