HOOVER STUDIES
PLAN TO AID IN
MOVING WHEAT
Grain CongeStS Gulf Ports,
Farm Board May Take
Up Problem.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July IL Fol-
lowing a second White House con-
ference today on congestion of
wheat at gulf ports, President
Herbert Hoover took under consid-
Grafton a project to launch the
new federal farm board on the
grain movement at its first meeting
here next Monday.
There were indications that the
emergency marketing powers Of the
board would be invoked at once to
relieve the present wheat glut at
the gulf ports.
Representative C. S. Briggs Dem,
Tex told Hoover there are not
sufficient ships available at sout&-
ern and southwestern ports to care
for the flood of grain now pouring
in from the grain belt.
This movement has been stimu-
lated by recent emergency freight
rate reductions calculated to clear
middle western elevators of carry
over grain.
Predict Enormous Crop
1.-THE enormous crop Of wheat
raised this year." said a memoran-
dunn left with the President by
Briggs, added to approximately
250, 100000 bushels of the carry-over
crop, will probably aggregate not
less than 1,100,000,000 bushels.
Probably of this vast amount
$50 100000 bushels can be estimated
conservatively as eXportable surplus,
or as surplus in excess of domestic
requirements"
Briggs visit t othe executive Of
fees followed White House an
nouncement that President Hoover
would devote his weekend in his
Shenandoah National Park fishing
preserve in preparation for the first
meeting of the new farm board.
Meet Monday
Chairman Alexander Legge, vice
chairman J. G. Stone, and Carl Will
lianls. a third member of the board
will accompany the President to the
weekend haven Thursday. They
will return Sunday afternoon and
the farm board will assemble at the
White House for its first meeting
Monday morning.

dent Hoover has given the grain
situation close attention for the
last ten days. Wednesday he COIL
