Congress Farm Leaders Discuss Report
Showing Increase.
By the Associated Press

6y the Associated Press.
Farm leaders in Congress received
with considerable interest yesterday the
forecast of the Department of Agricul-
ture that the Winter wheat crop, on
the basis of June indications, showed
a probable production of 622, l48 900
bushels-more than 100000 bushels
increase over last year.
In view of the general concensus that
the farmers difficulties cannot be sur
mounted without an orderly disposition
OF the surplus, the news that further
expansion of the already substantial eX-
cess OF wheat appears TO be in store
was regarded by many members of Con-
gresS "a serving 10 focus attention upon
the course Federal farm board would
pursue in the event one is authorized

Some leaders felt that If the Senate
would act favorably to complete passage
of the bill and the farm board be set
up promptly, there would be a psyche
logical tendency towards increasing
prices in spite of the large additional
surplus forecast, but all of them were
agreed such possible results most de-
pended on the willingness of the board
to put the provisions of the farm bill
quickly into operation.
