Washington, Aug. 6.-(AP)-Presf-

lie stand today on a suggested special
session of Congress in the fall to take
up farm legislation.
Asked at a press conference If he
was in sympathy with the movement
in the Senate, where 40 senators have
signed a petition favoring an extra
session in October, the President said
that was up to the Senate.

Speaker Bankhead Majority Leader
Rayburn, Democrat, Texas, and Chair
man Jones, Democrat, Texas, of the
House Agriculture Committee, told
caucus of about go farm state repre-
sentatives they saw no necessity for a
special seEssion. They assured the
meeting such legislation would be
made "the first order of business"
when Congress convenes in January.
Each said they would assure Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Congress, as we'll
as farmers, crop control legislation
would be enacted in time to apply to
next years crops, except winter
wheat
Appealing to the group not to
press for immediate action on a crop
control bill, Speaker Bankhead said:

work farm legislation"
At this press conference, the Presi-
dent told one inquirer he had not as
yet received sufficient assurances
about enactment of crop control legis-
lation to warrant him to authorize
loans on this years cotton crop.
In connection with the special ses-
sion discussion in the Senate, Demo-
cratic Leader Barkley said yesterday
President Roosevelt may call such a
meeting ip October or November, and
the Senate Agriculture Committee is

Six men originally had been sched-

Legislators Are Unlikely to

DniIy Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug. 6-Climbing liquor
revenues, which set new high last
month, make any return to statewide
prohibition extremely unlikely, in the
opinion of many experienced observ-
ers who know how loath legislators
are to lop off any money-raising
agency or activity.
With stores opening in Wake county
and with other counties certain to be
added to the control column in the
near future, it seems probable that
before the 1889 Assembly convenes the
State will be deriving more than a
uuarter-million dollars monthly from
it's liquor taxes. This estimate is
based on the July receipts, which to-
tailed $139, 132.43 and which represent
ed an increase of more than 100 per
cent over July, 1886.
Any movement, therefore, looking
