Hoover Starts
Probe of Farm
Marketing Jam
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - A
comprehensive investigation of all
factors bearing on adequate trans
portation of agricultural products
by rail and boat has just been
started by the department of com.
mcrce under the personal supervis-
ion of Herbert c. Hoover.
This investigation is being under
taken as Il result of a request from
n special transportation committee
appointed by President George E.
Farrand of the agricultural lpgisla
tive committee at the suggestion Of
Ralph p. Merritt. managing editor
of the "Sun- Maid' raisin growers.
At n recent meeting with Secrc-
tary Hoover in San Francisco the
policies of thea investigation were
outlined, and it was decided if
should embrace the entire Pacific
coast. Following the meeting Mcr-
rift, who is chairman of the com
mittce, said:
"Thc farmers again face serious
transportation difficulties similar
to those suffered in recent years,
and the future is uncertain. 1t is
important that the farmers, the
business men, the carriers, and, in
fact. everyone should know as
nearly as possible just what is the
future prospect of getting agricul-
tural products to market promptly,
and this is what we hope to accom-
plish by the investigation which is
now under way. -
