Bill to Aid Farmers
In Diversifyisg Crops
Nears Senate Floor

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-After
several weeks of hearings, the senate
agriculture committee today began
preparations to perfect the Norbeck-
Burtness crop diversification bill and
report it to the senate early next
week as the first step in a program
for farm relief.
Amendments to the bill were dis
cussed at a closed session of the
committee after Secretary Wallace
had appeared at public hearing and
endorsed the McNary-Haugen bill to
create an agricultural export cor
poration.
1t was understood that a. majority
of the committee gave their approval
to the Norbeck-Burgess bill, but a
vote was deferred until Monday. The
bill would appropriate $50,000,O00 to
be loaned to farmers in amounts up
to 81 600, to permit them to diversity
crops. One amendment adopted to-
day makes it optional with the Sec
rotary of agriculture as to- the local
agencies lie would use to pass upon
the qualification of the borrowers,
ar ether gives the secretary final au-
thority in all appeals, and a third

lowed the use of two per cent of the
