NEW WHEATPOL|
OF BOARD PRAISED
Suspension of Payment for
Grain on Loan Basis
Value Approved.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March ga general
feeling Of satisfaction was expressed by
agricultural leaders concerning the sus-
pension Of the Wheat Sterilization Cor
poration's policy Of paying the loan
basis value for wheat.
Chairman Alexander Legge of the
Federal Farm Board. who announced
the change in policy late yesterday after
oficials of the Farm Board. the Farm
ers' National Grain Corporation and the
Wheat Sterilization Corporation had
met with Secretary of Agriculture Ar
thur M. Hyde in closed conference,
said he firmly believed the move would
prove helpful"
Suspension Of the arbitrary loan
price basis established last Fall" he
said, will relieve the panicky feeling
and stabilize the entire grain industry"
The new policy, welcomed at many
points in the grain belt, was acclaimed
at the Omaha Grain Exchange and
Farmers Union headquarters.
The decision was the only ultimate
solution Of the wheat marketing situa-
tion," Hugh A. Butler, president OF the
Omaha Exchange, declared. "The
Farm Board needs the cooperation of
the grain men. They own the eleva-
tors whose storage space must be used
IL OAlc SIdpllIDhClOn program Is 10 De
effective. The regular grain exchanges
do not fear Federal competition in grain
marketing If such competition Is on a
business basis"
L. s. Heron, editor Of the Nebraska
Union Farmer, said the Farm Boards
move would relieve the feeling of hum
dreds of Nebraska farmers, who be-
lieved they were being forced into anil
alton with the Grain Corporation.
John A. Bunnell, president Of the
Chicago Board of Trade, asserted he
had no comment or criticism to offer,
but his organization would. go along
with the new policy"
C. B. Steward of Lincoln, Nebr., presi-
dent Of the Farmers West-Central
Grain Cooperative, Inc, said he
thought the discontinuance Of the buy
ing Of grain on loan basis would stop
the congestion at the terminals and
help protect the co-operatives,

PRESIDENT TO RUSH
WATERWAY PROJECTS

Presidnt Hoover has decided to-
push the work already under way
on inland waterways and especi-
ally on f.ood-control projects on
the lower Mississippi. This deef-
sion was reached after a confer
ence with Secretary of War HGr-
ley, Major General Lytle Brown.
Chief of Army Engineers, ard
Col. Geo. R. Spalding.
Under the program, the approx
imately S35,0O0,0OO available for
flood control for the fiscal year
will be expended by spring. In
view of drought and unemploy-
ment, it was felt that speeding up
of the river work would improve
general economic conditions as
well as give early protection to
the farmers of the lower Mississi-
ppi.
An allotment of S24,000,00O for
flood control was made on June G.
A good part of this is still avail
able and in addition there remains
the balance of the $35,0O0,0O0 a-4
valuable each year under the Jad-.
wln-control plan.
