But it ran into opposition from Sem
ators from rayon-making States, in
Guiding Wager, Democrat, Of New
York, who regarded the tax as "sur-
render to the silk industry" Senator
Glass, Democrat, Of Virginia, and
Senator Tydings, Democrat, Of Mary
land. Chairman Smith, Democrat, Of
South Carolina, Of the Agriculture
Committee, who had sponsored the
amendment in committee, turned
against it with the argument that it
would hurt foreign trade upon which
cotton depended, more than it would
help the cotton textile industry.
Glass Denounces Proposal.
Glass denounced the proposal as
threatening to drive out of existence
the rayon industry that is yet in Its
infancy"
In behalf of his amendment, La
Toilette said:
I'VE have embarked on program
of endeavoring by the processing tax
to lift agricultural prices to parity
with other commodities.
at seems to me 1t would be not
only a futility, but a grave incon-
sistency to permit imports to break
the price Of commodities we are en-
deavoring to lift to parity price"
Senator Gore, Democrat, Of Okla
homa, commended the total imports
were not great in comparison with
the American production.
An amendment adopted with little
debate was presented by Senator
Bilbo, Democrat, Of Mississippi, as q
substitute for the committee amend
ment. It provided that loans could
be granted to cotton co-operatves

dealings represented the holdings Of

Bolt Kills Four Bathers.
An Associated Press dispatch from

killed by a bolt Of lightning at Brigh-

Those killed were DR.. Joseph Borak,
Joseph Harris, 40, his son, Barnett
Harris, IS, and Marvin CheSmer, all

They were felled in a sudden storm
which drenched the city with seven
tenths of an inch of rain in less than
20 minutes and sent the mercury
dropping.
Harris and his son, who had been
in the surf, were running for the sand
when a bolt struck them. Six Of the
others hit were apparently victims OF
the same series Of flashes. Shesmer

Iowa Farm Study Commit
tee Proposes End Of Corn
Hog Program.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AMES, Iowa, July 20.--A substitute
for the A. A. A. corn-hog program,
providing that benefit payments be
based on production rather than re-
ducticn, was recommended today by
the Iowa Farm Study Committee.
The committee claimed its proposal
placed emphasis on sound farming
practices that would insure soil fer
tility rather than on fat crop re-
duction.
Composed Of Is Iowa farmers, some
Of whom are county corn-hog chair
men, the group was aided by Iowa
experiment station specialists in de-
vising the proposal, which said it
should eliminate the injustices of
the present program"
Would Require Grass Raising.
Benefit payment Of IS cents
bushel on corn, of which Iowa is the
Nations leading producer, would be
continued. But production would be
curtailed only the amount regarded as
necessary to maintain soil health by
increasing grass production. Farmers
who did not raise the required amount
of grasses would receive no payments.
Benefit payments would also be con-
tinued at $3.50 per head on hogs, but
would be based on the number Of hogs
produced, rather than the number re-
duced, as is the present case.
The committee proposed that Tor
Iowa, the corn acreage be reduced next
year 20 per cent from the 1888
average and that the Government en-
courage growing Of legumes and other
soil-building grasses on the land taken
from corn.
Would Cut Hogs Is Per Cent.
Based also OF the 10-year average,
the States hog production would be
cut is per cent rather than the cur
rent 10 per cent.
The committee urged greater au-
thority in administration be vested In
county allotment committees" and
recommended that each county set
aside S per cent of its production quota
for use in settling disputes within the
county instead of by Washington COM
pliance checkers.
Presented before a meeting OF corn

was to be forwarded to washington
authorities.

BY the Associated Press.

e. PAINTER, Va, July 20.-Although
Eastern Shore potatoes were quoted
today at $125 a barrel-the price
prevailing several weeks ago when
growers clamped down an embargo
to force a higher return-leaders OF
the movement said the strike" had
benefited farmers to the extent of
100000.
The council named by farmer
mass meeting to control the crop
movement said the drop back to SIPS
was necessary to save growers from
staggering demurrage charges on
tubers already packed for shipment.
One source estimated the mounting
charges at $500 a day.
Meanwhile, the relief administra-
ton was authoritatively reported as
having placed a new order for ITO
cars of potatoes in the Governments
drive to help the Eastern Shore men.
The governing council, which at
one time pushed the price to $40
and then dropped it to $3.50, ex-
planned the $l.25 price was accepted
in order to get large commission
company's order for 800 cars.

Convenient Time
For Farm Loan
Payment Is Seen
Talmadge Watkins Views Semi.
Annual Period Important If
Loans Are Applied

At least one of the semi-annual
payments on loans made through the
National Farm Loan Association in
this County, as well as direct and
Land Bank Commissioner loans, will
fall due at more convenient time for
the farmers if applied for. This an
nouncement was made today by Tai
madge L. Watkins, secretary-treasur-
er of the Western Md. National Farm
Loan Association.
Since the organization of the Fed
eral Land Bank in 1917 payments on
the loans closed have become due six
months after the date of the loan,
regardless of the agricultural activi-
ties of the farmers.
A short time ago officials of the
Farm Credit Administration, of which
the Federal Land Bank is a unit, be-
came convinced that such was not the
best arrangement for many borrow
ers, particularly in those sections
where there is single crop market
ing season.
Early this year Charles S. Jackson
president of the Federal Land Bank
of Baltimore, began a study of farm
income periods in the second Farm
Credit Administration district
Through the National Farm Loan
Associations a survey was conducted
to determine the most convenient sea-
son for the maturity of installments.
As the result, the bank has adopted
a uniform date for this county and is
giving the members the opportunity
to apply for the revision.
That the maturing of interest in
stallments to coincide with the move
ment of crops or sale of farm pro-
ducts, meets with the approval of
farmers is shown by the volume of
redating application being received by
the bank.
