MOST OF FARMERS
SEENBACK|NG BILL
Compulsory Crop Control
Favored by Majority, Two
Senators Say.
By the Associated Press.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. Oct. 30-Two
members of the Senate Agricultural
Subcommittee which for a month has
been holding hearings in various Sec
tions of the country seeking farm
legislation sentiment, today said a
vast ma ajority of farmers wants CROP
production control
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma said
95 per cent of the farmers who have
appeared before the subcommittee
wants production control incorporated
in the farm bill to be considered by
Congress in special session next month.
They want the ever-normal gram
ary as insurance against the nom
productive years and continuation of
the soil conservation program" Sem
ator Thomas asserted.
Senator Ellender of Louisiana de-
clared all farmers recognize the need
for enactment of a farm bill, and
while there was difference of opinion
as to its provisions all want legisla-
ton that would bring about stable
prices-"prices they can depend on,
llOL W NlOltIlb 1luGIudNlOIls
Compulsory Control.
He said the majority favored law
which would make production control
compulsory.
In the South the sentiment is
largely for compulsory control" he
said, but in the Northwest many
farmers feel that voluntary control,
with benefit payments, would serve to
bring about the same results.
Those who believe in control say
give us better prices under a controlled
production program and then we can
afford to buy many of the necessities
of life that we are now being deprived
of And fe we should be able to buy
then industry would be in position to
give the unemployed jobs and thereby
improve their condition. 1t has got
to start with the farmer.
Farmers have emphasized the need
to control our exportable surplus COM
modities in the belief that this in
itself would afford better prices and
then farmers would be able to buy
more"
Senator Thomas said the committee
had found conditions among Southern
farmers terrible" and predicted they
would become worse unless the Gov
ernment aids with program of crop
curtailment and subsidies or benefit
payments.
Not Modified A. A. A.
Senator Thomas said it was likely
the legislation proposed at the special
session would be a modified version
of the Agricultural Adjustment Act
which was held unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court. He said the hope
was to keep it within constitutional
limitations by making it cooperative
on the part of farmers voluntarily.
Production would be controlled"
he said, by State quotas subdivided
into individual quotas and would apply
to non-perishable money crops-wheat
cotton. corn, rice and tobacco"
Senator Frazier of North Dakota. the
third member of the subcommittee
here, declined comment.
Senator Allender will conduct the
committees final hearing at Jefferson
City, Mo, Monday.

FisH L3r ATTACK
 StMRS

INTERESTING exhibit in the A Natural History Museum in London is a piece of timber cone taining the broken ends of three spears, driven in and left there by a killer of the deep, the sword. fish.
 Here is one of the oceans "fghtingest" fish. Often weighing more than 600 pounds, the sword- fish is widely distributed in warm seas. It is purplish in color and marked by the prolonged snout which flattens to a "sword." It swims swiftly at the surface and feeds on the small fish, especially mackerel.
 Fearless attacker, the swordfish dashes into a school of smaller neighbors and proceeds to kill right and left with the aid of It's sworHlike snout. In the same fam- fly are theo ospearfish. Finding a school of whales, the spearfish att tack savagely. Likewise, they have been known to attack ocean- going ships, presumably thinking them to be whales.
 When one of these fish strike a ship, the spear may be driven in with such force that the fish, in order to get free, must break off It's snout. Usually the fish is caught by harpooning, and its red flesh Is delectable. A marlin swordfish is shown on a 1035 New Zealand stamp.
