FARM PLAN SOUGHT
by ADMINISTRATION
Gray Says President Greatly
Interested in Agricultural
Aid Desired.

BY the Associated Press
The administration is attempting to
work out sound solution of the
agricultural problem. Chester II. Gray,
Washington representative of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
said yesterday after A call at the
White House.
Gray told President Coolidge that
in his opinion the farmers still want
the McNary.Iaugen farm relief bill,
which he vetoed but are willing to
accent few moditica tions so long as
the equalization fee feature remains.
FOresees Same Fight.
"'rhe President was interested in
knowing what the farmers are think.
ing about" Gray declared, "and told
him that the fight in the next Con
gress will he the same in substance
and principle as last Winter.
This fight will be for an effective
disposition of crop surpluses, with the
commodity served paying the bill. Any
plan to take out the equalization fee
would not meet with the favor of the
American Farm Bureau Federation"
Mr.. Gray said that Mr.. Coolidge
expressed a great deal of interest in
what the farmers desired in the way
of relief and told him that the sub
iect was under consideration by the
administration.
Corn B0rer Fight.
The Farm Bureau representative
also asked Mr.. Coolidge for a con-
tinuing fund with which to fight the
corn borer. Gray said there was about
81 ,000.0 900 left of the $10,O00.00O fund
appropriated by Congress last Winter,
and he said that this, together with
an additional appropriation of 81, 500.-
900. should he made available to the
Agriculture Department force now en-.
gagged in eradicating the pest.
Gray recommended the appointment
Of J. F.. Reed. president of the Min
nesota State Farm Bureau Federation,
as a member of the Interstate Com.
merce Commission when vacancy
occurs. He said Reed had the support
of practically all Senators. Representa-.
tives and farm organizations in the
