FARMER RELIEF.

TURMOIL
Bloc Leaders in House and
Senate Unable to Agree on
Proposed Plans.

Farmer Congressman find their
legislation today in a jam in both
House and Senate and leaders OF
the farm bloc" are ceasing pre-.
dictions as to it's fate.
Hearings on the McNary. Hangen
export bill, which has the hacking
of Secretary Wallace, drag along
in the House Agriculture com
mittee, and efforts to force the
legislation to committee vote
have been unsuccessful. The bill
has proved unsatisfactory to all the
Democratic members with the ex.
ception Of Johnson, w. Va, and
to q few Republicans.
This bill sets up a Federal COM
mission to fix ratio base price
for surplus grain and other farm
products, and creates Il Federal ex-
port corporation with $2On, 900, 900
Federal funds to market this sur
plus abroad. Losses sustained by
the export corporation are TO De

The House committee has failed
thus far to act on the Norbeck-
Burtness bill which appropriates
$50, 100000 to aid in farm diversifi-
cation in the Dakotas, Minnesota
/ and Montana, where low prices for
wheat have caused distress. The
Senate has killed this bill, and the
private corporation formed by the
War Finance Corporation to help
in this section has been asked to
undertake the farm liberalization
financing.
The Senate Agriculture committee
reported favorably the McNary-
Haugen bill, and Senator Norris
chairman of the committee made a
minority report on the Sinclair.

Senator Norris is expected to press
his bill. and Senator M6Nary will
fight it. The House committee has
set aside the Sinclair Norris bill
and is concentrating on tn" Nc

organizations throughout the coun.
try are lining-up on different sides
in the controversy, and Congress

50 WANT To Be
EXAMINERS Of
PATENTS
Civil Service to Hold Exam
nations to Fill 100 Va
cancies in This Post.

Sixty men and women filed ap-
plications for positions as assistant
examiners at the patent office. The
examination will be held April 9.
Openings for 100 assistant ex-
aminers exist. 1t is expected that
fully 100 applicants will be ex-
amined for the positions when the
first examination is held in April.
Other tests will be held later dur
ing the month and continued until
the full quota has been enrolled.
Good Education Required.
Applicants for examination must
possess educational .attainments
above those ordinarily required in
passing Civil Service examinations,
it Is said. This tends to limit the
number of persons applying for the
coming examination. At the Civil
Service Commission headquarters
today, it was said that regardless
have applied for the examination
positions open will be filled.
The entrance salary, effective
July /, is 1850 year with pros
pSCIo Vi HhCIedSeS diu pIoIlOCloHS
until the annual pay reaches $1,000.
Feature of Test.
The examinations will be featured
by tests in reading mechanical
drawings, in translating French
and German, and by problems in
mathematics, technics and physics.
1t is also required that a limited
acquaintance be had with some
branch of engineering.
With the aid of the additional
assistant patent examiners, it will
be possible to complete the initial
action in obtaining a patent in
much less time than is required
today. A year ago it took approx
mately fifteen months to complete
such survey. Now the time re-
cIait.od iu nho,,4 MIN. month.

FARM RS PLAN
NORMAL CROP
OUTPUT
Despite Handbags of Labor
Shortage and Low Prices
Good Year Expected. .

Farmers in the agricultural dis
tr1cts surrounding Washington, as
Well as those throughout the coun-
try generally, are planning a nor
NAL crop production although it is
apparent farming again this year
will be attended by the handicaps
shortage of labor, high wages and
other costs and the difference be-
tween farm product values and
those of industrial origin of q year
ago.
Such is the outlook for the COM
Ing crop season as given out today
by the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics, of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.
The estimate Is based on q sur
Vey made through reports obtained
generally throughout the country.
In its report the bureau directs
attention to the present high level
OF demand for farm products. 1t
u also indicated that the situation
this year with respect to labor,
machinery, fertilizer, credit and
other costs is not favorable to pro.
auction expansion.
~ASICitAOA IS OlECCI0u inc re-
port to the increased peanut
acreage in the South, coupled with
a warning that growers consider
carefully this policy with stocks
on hand and increased imports.
Indications are noted by the bu-
reau which suggest that hog rails
ing has passed the peak of produc-
ton with the tendency developing
to attempt to reach the old hog
corn balance by limiting produc-
ton. On the other hand it is indi-
Gated that the poultry business
seems assured Of profitable
season regardless of the expansion
which has taken place in the poul-
try industry during the past year.
Poultry interests in the vicinity
developing during the past two
years and with the prospect held
out by the bureaus report SEEM
ingly have a profitable season be-
fore them.

4 Co. AS a result of a rule re-
quiring the consent of two.thirds
of the preferred and common stock
holders to a plan for issuing new
stock, the effective minority was in
fluential enough to defeat the pro-
gram of the president and the d.
rectors of the company.
From the standpoint of corpora
ton finance, the significant demon.
stration was that a strong minority
can exert a negative influence, but
can accomplish no affirmative
measures.
With the plan to issue new COM
mon stock and prior preference
shares defeated, Thomas Wilson re-
taliated by cutting off the dividend
on the preferred shares of his COM
pany for the first time, in spite of
good earnings. The ostensible rea-
son for the move was a desire to
conserve cash to get ready for bond
retirement and other purposes,
which would have been taken care
of by new financing.
Public interest in the case would
be limited except for the intima.
ton by Wilson that Swift interests
blocked the development plan, pre-
sumably for the purpose of check
ing the growth of a competitor.
If the allegations made by the
management of Wilson & Co.
against minority shareholders are
true, there would seem to be ample
reason for a special inquiry into the
situation by the federal trade COM
mission. %ufHcient stock owner

block major program might very
well fall within the meaning of the
phrase restraint Of trade" which
antitrust legislation was intended
to prevent.
AS for the general problem Of the
effect of an increasing number Of
shareholders on the affairs Of a
corporation, the public utility COM
panies believe that diffusion of
ownership improves their political
status and good win.
Officers of industrial corporations
contend that a large number of
