are the fire department equipment

Our only objection-Gf such it

Borah's pessimism over state
cooperation, however, is not shar'

Republicans, headed by Rep
Clifford R. Hope of Kansas, spon-
sor of rival farm measure, re.
parded as having the backing of
Gov. Alf Landon, did not quarrel
with the idea of soil conservation,
but objected to it on several other
grounds, including:
The powers it gives Secretary

The possible harm it may DO
to the dairy industry.
The fact that no hearings were

The third viewpoint was con-
tanned in a supplemental report
by Rep. Gerald J. Boileau, Prog,
Wis. who contended it would be
"most harmful to the dairy indus

The majority had this to say
about constitutionality of the bill,
which proposes to regulate farm

payments to farmers who heed the
Federal Governments suggestions

serve its fertility:
