except for the constitutional require- ment that nominations must be ap- proved by the senate. Last year the bill would have restricted appoint
 nents to persons recommended by farm organizations. MT. Coolidge objected strenuously to this proyi- sion as an encroachment upon his constitutional powers.
 Again. both bills would apply to all agricultural commodities, thereby removing another objection to the 1927 measure which covered only wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, rice and swine.
 In addition. friends of the measure claim they have met seven other specific objections raised by the president.
 Several members are expected to sponsor amendments to its provi- sions. Included in this group IS one democrat, Representative kincheloe of Kentucky, who contends that farm organizations should be given the privilege of making recommen- dations to the president regarding prospective board members. even though such suggestions would not be binding in any way.
 The kentuckian also contends that the bill specifically should pro- hihit placing the equalization fee in operation on a certain product until the commodity council charged with the supervision of that product re- queStcd such action.

FARM RELIEF NOW
 0N LAST JOURNEY
McNary.Hau6en Bill Headed for
 White House

Washington. March e7 R-Farm relief as embodied in the McNary- Haugen bill today appeared to be embarked on another legislative voy- age that promises to lead to the White House for the second consec- utive year.
 The measure. however, has been renovated since its last journey. After weeks Of consideration, its sponsors claim to have eliminated, with the exception of the equaliza- ton fee machinery, practically all Of the features that were objected to by President Coolidge in vetoing the bills predecessor.
 Assurance that such a trip again would be possible came late ycster- day when the measure survived the last voting skirmish in the house agriculture committee. With it's committee approval by 15 10 6 vote, it now stands in the house. as in the senate, as the farm bill en- dorsed by the majority of both the agriculture committees of congress.
 Supporters of the bill predict that they can muster the necessary votes to send the measure 10 the White House and so far none Of it's oppo- nents have denied their claims
 While house leaders have not def initcly announced when the bill will be called up on the floor. 1t is ex- pectcd it will get the legislative right of way about the middle of April.
 Chairman Haugon has described the new measure as the ''best farm bill ever reported to congress- and Representative Purncll of Indiana, ranking republican on the house agriculture committee, has declared that all features. except the fec. 10 which Mir. Coolidge objects. have been removed. and that steps even have been taken to make the fee machinery less offensive to the ad- ministraton.
 | Ilf illuldlldl II IOll''l1IS llldL tllt 1t0- cral farm board. which the measure would create. is directed under the bill to endcavor to stabilize the farming industry by use of the loan to-co-operativc provisions before it can resort to the equalization fee plan.
 The bill would authorize an ap- propriation Of s40o,oo0. 900 for loans to co-opcrativcs, while the measure as drafted by Chairman McNary of the senate committee, and endorsed by that body, would authorize 3 loan of only so5o, ,oho,ono.
 ITaugen has announced that this difference constitutes the ma ior diff ference in the two bills as the house measure was changed in several re- spects to conform with the senate proposal.
 Both bill. would give the prcsi- dent a free hand in selecting tho membership of the proposed board.

 The two nondescript hired men had taken their places, slipping into their chairs silently and apolo- setically.

Destroy Mosquitoes.

A IL the pools and swamps In Bar
bados. West Indies, are stocked
with "millions"-of tiny fishes
that feed on the larvae of the mosquito.
The Health Board of Antigua, being
convinced that these do a valuable mis-
sionary work in the consumption OF
mosquito eggs, some time ago arranged
for their systematic distribution
throughout the ponds Of Antigua.
The Jamaicans also have utilized the
fish in this way: the tanks OF one hotel
in Jamaica are full Of them. and the
secretary = an agricultural society In
that islan, reports that there has been
a marked diminution Of fever round
about, the millions evidently accounting
for the mosquito larvae.
The British authorities have sug-
gested that these useful fish be given a
trial in the malarial districts of Africa.
Some specimens have been taken to
England and imported into malarial
districts with happy results.
1t should be added that near Frank
fort, in Germany. there has been dis
covered another small fish called the
'blue-eyed," which feeds or mosquito
larvae. At the request Of the Italian
government, consignments Of them
have been sent to the Campagna, where
