FARM BUREAU
FIGHTING FOR
AMENDMENTS

The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton is fighting with every ounce
of its energy and influence to Sc
cure amendments to the AAA BY
congress, according to information
received today at county farm hu-
reau offices. President Edward A.
o Neal and national directors sub
mitted to the house agricultural
committee statements outlining the
farm bureau position on every angle
Of this program.
r. w. Blackburn, president of the
state federation, spoke OH behalf
of California agriculture. He re-
ferred to benefits offered TO Cali
fornia producers from the operation
of marketing agreements and IL
eenses and characterized the
amendments as a most vitality need
ed legislation yet devised by agri-
culture. He made the unqualified
statement that California IS agri-
cultural industry had been benefit
ted greatly through the operation
of the AAA and its various provis-
ions. Blackburn scored efforts of
which relatively small groups of
professors who are opposing the
amendments. declaring that, They
are working neither for tho interest
Of the farmer nor the interest Of
the consumer
President O'Neal and other ma
tional farm leaders appealed to all
farmers to inform their congress-
men and senators by letter or wire
as to their position on these amend
ments.
Referring to the opponents of the
amendments O'Neal stated, cit is
the same old crowd which has al
ways fought In opposing an effect
i've legislation to get farmers a fair
share Of the consumers dollar
They fought the McNary- -Haugen
bill, they fought the agricultural
marketing act, now they are fight
ing these amendments. In the
main the opposition is connected
with a relatively small group OF
powerful corporations and firms
who process and distribute farm
products. They are trying to fight
farmers by asserting that these
amendments will deprive farmers of
their market outlets, although never
yet has a single complaint come
from any dirt farmer that any loss
occurred as result of the adjust
ment program.

CITY WATERFRONT
NEEDS STRESSED
Wharf Facilities and Channel
Held Inadequate Here by
Citizens Leader.

The need of improvement in Wash
ington's waterfront conditions was
stressed by Edward Goring Bliss,
president of the Dupont Circle Citi-
zens' Association, in radio address
last night on a program sponsored
by the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations.
Pointing out the incongruity of the
dilapidated wharf conditions in the
midst of Potomac Park, he brought
out the fact that pleasure craft, valued
at approximately 100000, must de-
pend on the present inadequate har-
bor facilities.
There is also very important need
for a deeper channel, Bliss said, in
order that economically sized boats
can be given the opportunity of
bringing commodity cargoes to the
Capital. Preliminary figures indi-
cate that the annual reduction in
cost on few commodities would be
almost sufficient to amortize in one
year the entire cost of the dredging
project, he said.
At the present time the channel
depth is kept at 20 feet, Bliss de-
clared, whereas depth of "a feet
would be sufficient to meet the de-
mands of commercial shipping on a
fairly large scale.
