CLACUE, FIVE OTHER
CONGRESSMAN SIGN
FARM BOARD PLEA
Telegraph Hoover Supporting
Protest of Minnesota
CO-Operatives
WANT REGIONAL UNITS
Object to Capitalization of
Farm Marketing
Organizations

Joining five other Minnesota con-
gressmen in a protest against farm
board policies, Frank Clague, Red
wood Falls, representative from the
second district, signed a telegram
sent to President Herbert Hoover
this week.
The protest, characterized as a
flank attack" followed the action of
a delegation of Minnesota co-opera-
tive organization representatives
who went to Washington recently to
ask that the board develop regional
rather than national organizations.
The Telegram
The telegram of protest from the
house delegation, is as follows:
"Hon. Herbert Hoover;
owe the undersigned members of
congress from Minnesota, respect
fully make the following recommen-
dations-irst:
''That the federal farm board be
required to recede from it's policy
of eliminating or restricting market
ing activities of local regional CO.
operative associations.
"Second-That the federal farm
board be required to follow Section
IA of the agricultural marketing
act so as to require that body to
loan money to sound cooperative
marketing associations without COM
pelling such borrowers to join other
organizations against their will.
"Third-That you require the fed
eral farm board to cease making a
condition to it's loans to financially
sound cooperative associations that
the borrowers give to the federal
farm board supervision and control
or It's policies and personnel.
(Signed) Frank Clague, August 81.

son, Paul Kvale, Godfrey G.. Good
win."
Protests Interpretation
1t is a protest against the inter-
probation which the farm board has
placed upon the farm marketing act
which proposes to build up a nation
wide organization which must sub
scribe to certain conditions before
any groups within the organization
can obtain loans. The Minnesota con-
gressmen and the protesting Mime
sofa co-operatives, hold that this
supervision is not demanded from
the farm board and intimate that

OPEN SEASON FOR WILD
FOWL CURTAILED

The open season on duck and
other migratory wild fowl in
Maryland has been curtailedd
to a period of thirty days by the
Presidents approval of a rec
ommendation by Arthur M.
Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture,
and Chief of Biological Survey.
The open season in Maryland
Delaware and Virginia, under
the proclamation amending the
migratory bird treaty act reg
ulations will be from Novem-
Der 16 to December Is, inclu-
sive. No additions to bag limits
prescribed in last years regula-
lions under the treaty act were
made for the 1881 season.
The shortening of the open
season is deemed advisable be-
cause of conditions in the
nesting area, the prolonged
drought resulting in thousands
upon thousands of young birds
dying.
