tion,' said: ,
IT told farmers during the
meetings of the Agriculture COM
mittees that they shall have
what they desire in the way Of
farm legislation regardless of my
opinions on the situation.
''This farm legislation is i'm
portant in that it affects the
whole national economic situa-
ton and I, for one, am anxious
that we shall have legislation
that will bring to farmers the
highest prices possible.

Senate Monday under agree
ment of the full committee"

ton bloc of the committee will
