CONGRESS MAY TRY TO
 SETTLE FARM PROBLEM
 BYpRAYER, IS OPINION
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March g. - II would be hard to find time when there was more evidence of bewilder- ment over the agricultural problem than just now.
 Even from the Department of Agriculture, which has pursued it's crop control and soil conservation program unfalteringly, there come random intimations that confidence in the success of this effort is waver- ing. Three months ago the depart ment was discussing with some en- thusiasm a two-price system. The aim was to arrange for lower income groups to buy their supplies for less and so attaining the utopian goal of feeding, clothing and shelter ing everybody well, regardless of their income.
 The plan boomeranged. The idea of a two-price system was especially alarming to merchants, who saw themselves competing with low-price Government stores or something akin to them. The department hushed official discussion of it. Studies now are being pursued on plan to permit low-cost delivery to lower-income groups without ap- bearing to be exactly two-price system. That plan is still in the hands of departmental committees.

COMMITTEES sTUMPED

Agriculture committees in House and Senate are baffled. A special Senate committee is conducting spasmodic hearings on the cost-of- production proposal which originat- ed among midwest farmers asso- citations. Probably there. is more sup port back of this plan than any one other before Congress, but there is still far less than enough support to insure passage.
 Most appalling to both sides are figures recently compiled by the Farm Security Administration. The figures show that the government now has on hand $750,000,000 worth of goods, mostly cotton, which it has accepted as security for farm loans The Hoover farm board, looked upon by this administration as an hys- terical effort, had only $466. .000, ,00C outstanding in such loans at it's peak.
 Of it's outstanding loans, the de- partment mas S5bU,OOO,OOU tled up Tn II 100000 bales of cotton. These gov ernment holdings represent virtu- ally full years crop.
 A major trouble with the system has been that it has begged the price for world cotton, allowing foreign production to develop to an extent that U. s. exports have dropped AS percent below old time normals. Recently the United States has been seeking an international marketing agreement for wheat and cotton, with little success. Now there is serious talk of boldly entering a dumping, war unless an international agreement can be reached.
