LEGCE REQUESTS
GOVERNMENT TO
RAISE CORN RATE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. UP)-
Chairman Alexander Legge, OF the
federal farm board. advocated to-
day an increase of 1919 cents a
buShcl in the tariff duty on corn
under the flexible provisions au-
thorizing the President to increase
the duty by SO per cent. The rate
on corn now is 25c bushel, and
Lcggc said the increase to 37l2
cents would cover the spread be-
tween Buenos Aires corn price and
quotations in the United States.
Tariff revision either under the
flexible clause or by congress to
provide greater protection for other
coarse grains would be also deSir-
able, but corn faces the most SER
ious competition from abroad,
Legge added
The farm board in its current
wheat buying program has not vet
placed a limit on the amount of
wheat it may buy or on the price
TO be paid, the chairman said.
Russian shipments of wheat were
described by Legge as vital fac
tor in the present world market.
He said Russia has shipped $4,000,
900 bushels of wheat this wear
which was far more than had been
expected to have for export How
much Russia has left, is unknown.
he said.
The problem of the United
States wheat surplus may be solv-
ed by increased feeding of that
grain to livestock, especially hogs,
