BANKER SCORES
UTILITY BILL
Internal ional News Service

International News Service
The bill to abolish public utility
holding companies already has
precipitated a steady decline in
securities, F. E. rockingham, Of
Boston, representing the Invest
ment Bankers Association, today
told the House Interstate Com
merce Committee.
Charging the measure seeks re-
form at expense of widespread
suffering, Mr.. rockingham pre-
dicted it would effect Govern
ment ownership of utilities under
the guise of regulation. He
declared:
"Since this bill was intro
duced, the value of utility secur-
tiles has steadily declined. This
type of securities is going down
while others are mounting. The
losses are progressively increas-
ing"
He branded the measure as
more destructive than corrective,
arbitrary and drawn in a hostile
spirit" adding:
ut will force false liquidation
which always means loss of
value. Forced selling is una
voidabIe under the bill. 1t gives
the Government bureaucratic
control over the power industry
and is a menace to operating
companies"

ON WANE IN
MIDWEST
Reports to Democrats Show
Little Strength for Him;
Farm Boom Aids New Deal
BY EARL GOODWIN


Scouts from the Democratic
National Committee reporting to
Emil Hurja, assistant chairman,
bring news from the Middle West
indicating two interesting trends.
One is that Senator Huey Long
is not having the cleanup in po-
litical organization that many
people have thought he would.
He has the opposition of many
smaller Statewide radicals who
resent Senator Long coming into
their bailiwick via the air.
Second, rising cattle prices are
boosting the New Deal strength.
An independent organization
which covers the rural districts OF
the Midwest, with field men out
to do business with farmers, un-
dertook q nonpartisan survey Of
the Long strength and the gen.
eral political situation.
Reports Quoted
Among the quotations from
these reports which now are in
Mr.. Hurja's hands are these:
From a small Kansas city:
"A Huey Long share-the-
wealth club has been organized
here. I. Il can't find any others
=. nobody of any size has Joined
up with the movement. Farm
conditions look pretty good. Pas
turage is renting at about dOu-
BILE what it was last year and
our hay crop ought to fetch a
high price. there won't be
much radicalism by next fall"
From an Illinois corn belt
town:
"There is some Huey Long
talk but it hasn't got organized
yet. brood sOws, milk cows,
horses, are all bringing good
prices with plenty of good bid
ding. feeling of better times
is starting at the grass roots
II have always found that
better to go by than anything
else"
From Oklahoma came a report
that, while there is considerable
discomfort and radical feeling,
none of the leaders want to join
with Senator Long.
Illinois Sentiment
From city in the Illinois corn
belt:
"No Huey Long sentiment;
simply curiosity. farmers feel
ing better since live stock prices
started up"
An Iowa City:
Better live stock prices are
likely to make our farmers more
conservative. A lot of them
listen in to Father COughlin and
he might possibly prepare the
way for someone like Huey-
but hardly likely unless there
is a big reverse in farm prices"
North of Iowa, in Minnesota, the
scouts report that they look for a
tie-up of the La Toilette and
Farmer-Labor movement, rather
than any great strength for Sen
ator Long.
From the head of a widespread
publishing organization came the
following:
Farm conditions are much
improved. it is one of the best
factors working for recovery,
and, coincidentally, for the Ad-
ministratiOn. Its full effect will
hardly be felt before fall. Live
stock is the key to farm con.
ditions in fully half the coun-
try and at least two years Of
good live stock prices seem to
be in sight"

Bees by the Pound

There are approximately 5000
bees In a pound and they may be
obtained In packages holding one
or more pounds, but the two-pound
size appears 10 be the most popular
for all purposes. There are. how
ever. many beekeepers who prefer
a three-pound package, thinking
that the extra pound OF bees will
enable the new colony to build up
more rapidly. But, says a promi-
nent aplarIst, experiments with the
TWO sizes OF packages do not seem
70 warrant this assumption, for
the two-pound packages will usually
build up as rapidly and store just
as much honey as do the three
pound packages. II the bees are
young and the loss during trans
portatlon not excessive, there are
enough OF them In a two-pound
package to care for all the brood
that can be produced by the queen,
and the colony will build up just
as well without the excess workers.

Ventilated Silo Is Used
in New Hay-Making Plan

This Is a changing world and IL
would not be surprising TO see a
change In the process OF hAy-mak-
ing. In fact, Il has already arrived,
declares a writer in the Wisconsin
Agriculturist. The putting up OF
hay. both by the sugar process and
the acid process. is practical and
can be applied TO almost any kind
OF forage. Hay canning is also being
used. This is simply a ventilated silo
where the hay Is put either cured
or partially cured and by ventila-
ton the curing process goes on
without combustion. Large hay
barns are not only expensive but
there Is always considerable dan
ger OF FIRE. BY enslling the hay
directly from the field there Is no
Joss caused by woody ibers, moldy
or spoiled hay that has been put up
