COLLEGE PARK, Jan. z.
Farmers throughout Maryland
may have their 1896 income de-
creased by as much as $500 600
because of the Supreme Courts
action in invalidating the agricul-
tural adjustment act.
This estimate Of the total
amount that would have been paid
to signerS of crop contracts if the
AAA remained in force came to-
day from the extension service Of
the University of Maryland Co
incidentally with a blast against
the Supreme Court from c. E.
Wise, jr., of Baltimore, secretary
of the Maryland Farm Bureau
Federation.
Mr.. Wise declared that organ
lied farmers face the task of
drawing up a program for replac-
ing the AAA and fighting for its
adoption" Congress, he said,
must equalize the handicap
placed on agriculture by an indus
trial tariff"
More than $500 farmers in
Maryland had signed applications
for wheat and potato contracts for
1886, the extension service re-
vealed. If all signers complied.
and could receive benefit pay
ments, wheat farmers would have
received approximately $2.493, 900;
corn-hog signers about $930,000,
and tobacco signers about $780,
600.

Trade Agreement

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7
G.N.SJ.-With the production
control program outlawed by the
Supreme Court, the reciprocal
trade agreement policy becomes
an international farce and a do,
nestle tragedy, Charles w. Hole
man, secretary of the National Co
operative Milk Producers Fedora

conference in session here.
Holeman charged the trade
policy brings about an increase of
agricultural imports instead of ex,
ports. He said that unless some
new production control device is
found, more than thirty million
acres taken out of production by
the AAA, will return to competi-
ton at the farmers will.

AAA DrafteES
Blamed For
Its Death
InternationaI NeWr serrice

If Administration legal lights
had not blundered in drawing the
AAA it might have escaped court
attack!
This was the Interpretation Of
many lawyers today Of the SUI
preme Courts decision scrapping
the act.
Justice Roberts, in the majority
opinion, pointed out that the
Court had held in the past that
an individual has no standing in
Court in challenging mere ex-
penditure of money for q non
Federal purpose.
Had Congress not specifically
levied processing taxes, and said
that proceeds should be used for
the AAA, but instead merely in
creased taxes generally and made
appropriations, some lawyers say,
no one could have challenged the
law.
Now that the Court has spoken
and the true purpose of the AAA
is known, Congress might have a
difficult time justifying such a
law.
