CROP CONTROL
FARLEY NEAR
Regional Conferences On
Program Will Begin
Next Week ,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. CUP
The agriculture department plans
to begin a series of regional meet
ings next week to work out de-
tails of its new soil conservation
and crop control program, it was
learned last night.
Detailed methods by which he
may regulate crops through
spending not more than $780,
100000 a year to pay farmers
for conserving their soil are left
largely to the discretion of the
secretary Of agriculture in the
farm bill awaiting President
Rooseyelt's signature.
State officials, agricultural col
lege experts and producers rep
resentatives will be invited to the
regional meetings to help formu-
late detailed administrative plans.
Federal officials expect to sub
NIT tentative outlines of pro-
grams for approval.
Two meetings are expected to
be held next week, one at Mem
phis, Tenn, for the cotton belt,
and one at Chicago on corn-hog
problems. Exact dates have not
been fixed, but they probably will
be called for Thursday, Friday
and Saturday.
Meanwhile the house passed
without a record vote yesterday
the agriculture department appro-
priation bill providing $16l.S63,-
900 for regular expenditures, not
including costs of the new pro-
gram carried in another approprl-
alton measure.
The house reversed its action
on amendments passed yesterday
and left the bill unchanged from
the way it came from the com,
mittee which cut $2S,515,S57
from budget estimates.
President Roosevelt signed ar
executive order allocating $1,000,
600 from a sum not to exceed
100000 from relief moneys
for crop production loans. His
veto of a $5O,000,0O0 seed loan
bill few days ago forecast this
action. o.

RAILWAY Fare
CUT ORDERED
Ice. Ruling Expected 10
Increase Patronage
OF Roads

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. (UP)
In an order affecting millions of
Americans who travel by rail, the
Interstate Commerce commission
yesterday told American railroads
to cut passenger fares to two
cents mile in coaches and three
cents in Pullmans, effective June
End.
The present basic rate is 3.6
cents mile and there is so
per cent surcharge on Pullman
accommodations. The commission
ordered the surcharee eliminated.
The order was based on the sue
cess of governmental tow train
fares in the west and south III an
attempt to make rail travel more
attractive to millions and in the
hope that large increases in traf-
fic volume will wipe out railroad
deficits.
Experimental fares Of two cents
mile are now in effect on weso-
ern and southern roads - those
west of Chicago and the Missis-
sippi and those east of the MiSSls-
sippi and south of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers. Therefore the
practical effect of the order is to
reduce rates on the eastern car
riers which serve the heavy traf-
fic in the New York-Chicago
Neutrality-suspicious. area.
The reduction was ordered de
spite contention of the three big
eastern railways that it would
cost them $56,000,0O0 a year.
These roads - the Pennsylvania,
the New York Central, and the
New York, New Haven and Hart
ford - argued their passenger
traffic was high class business
type which would not increase
greatly under low rates, but The
commission held otherwise.
The order specified:
|. That the Pullman surcharge
| be eliminated completely. The
isurcharge now accounts for about
no per cent of the average fares,
2. That coach fares be reduced
to 2 cents a mile and Pullman
fares to three cents plus the Pull
man accommodation cost
8. That the experimental tareS
in the west and south be contin'
ued on a permanent basis.
4. That railroads may continue
charging extra fares on a lie"
de luxe limited trains.
5. That lower excursion rates
may be continued. -H "..
