FARM AID BILL
TAKING FORM
Board, Sterilization Agen-
cies, And Revolving Fund
Three Main Points

WASHINGTON, March 29.-(FD-
Based upon the bread, general Sug-
gestions for farm relief laid before
the country in the campaign speech
es of President Hoover, a farm aid
bill, is beginning to take form In
the house agriculture committee.
A farm board, price sterilization
agencies and a revolving fund APP
pear to be the three points that will
form the foundation upon which the
agricultural aid structure is being
reared. The details of the super
structure are coming to view as tho
hearings proceed.
AS an indication Of the firmness
with which the committee has
seized upon the idea of a farm
board, witnesses ire being requested
to confine their testimony to sug-
gestionS as to how such a boaFi
should operate. Other testimony
largely appears incidental to the
farm board and sterilization ideas.
Two definite details seem to have
been determined in connection with
the sterilization corporations, both
in line with suggestions by coop
erative leaders yesterday. They
urged that if sterilization corpora
tions were to be formed, the farm
board initiate such steps only upon
the appeal of the marketing agen-
cies for action. The other phase
that appears likely to be written into
the bill is a provision that stock
holders in the sterilization corpora
tons shall be members Of the CO.
operative groups.
