only months that the Wednesday
afternoon closing is to be observed,
according to r. E. Beane, president

thousand county organizations and
many thousands of community cen
tiers, representing eighty odd billions

"throes of distress" for lack of a

National Federation, to the annual
meeting of the Vermont Farm Bu-
reau Federation tonight. He de-
clared that the net income of the
United States farmer will be under
$465, this year. For remedial legs-
lation he suggested: Passage of the
Muscle Shoals bill to reduce cost of
fertilizer; passage of the TRUTH in
fabric" act so that wool will not have
to come in competition with reclama-
tons from city dump or battlefield:
passage of the milk-filled bill to free
the farm dairy from competition

rates; proper system of intermedi-
ate credits; quotations from banks
THAT borrow from the Federal Re-
