Wheeler Advocates
Farm Price Fixinq
Al Senate HEARING
Action on Substitute
Law During Present
Session Doubted
BY the Associated Press.

! BY the Associated FEeSS.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana advocated Government
fixing of farm prices today as a
means of placing agriculture on an
equal basis with labor, business and
industry.
after all. everything is on a
price fixing basis except the farm
err" the Westerner told the Senate
Agriculture Committee. IF we go
on we will only succeed in reduc-
ing the farmers of this country to
a peasant class"
Senator Wheeler made these COM
ments at a committee hearing on a
cost of production" farm bill Of
fered as a substitute for the pres
ent administration Crop Control
Act.
Before he spoke Michigan dairy
farmer, Claude L. Wood of Brown
City, testified it was his personal
opinion" that large distributors
controlled the farmers cooperative
which sold his milk.
The milk he sold for $1.26, Mr.
Wood said, cost retail consumers IS
miles away in Detroit more than S.
Urges Approval Of Bill.
Mr.. Wood, saying he was losing
money on his $4,000 dairy farm
urged the committee to approve
the cost of production" bill-which
would direct the Secretary Of Agri-
culture to fix prices Of so farm
products at level intended to give
the farmer a profit.
Despite the trend of evidence, ad-
ministration leaders expressed doubt
that any substitute farm program
would be enacted this session.
IF there are going to be any
major changes in the Crop Control
Act, think they probably won't be
effective this year." commented
Chairman Jones, Democrat of Texas
of the House Agriculture Commit
tee.
Two factors were emphasized by
Representative Hope, Republican, OF
Kansas, senior minority member OF
the House committee.
While there is a great deal Of
opposition to the present act" he
said, this opposition comes from
such divergent sources that it seems
to me unlikely opponents will be
able to effect any immediate major
change.
Few Amendments Expected.
"It also seems to me that 1t would
be poor politics for the Republicans
to advance any substitute program
at this time"
The administration is expected tc
offer a few amendments to the
present law intended to improve its
operation.
One probable amendment viii.
deal with commodity loan policies
which have led to sealing of II ,000,-
900 bales Of surplus cotton under
Government loans to growers
Critics assert this has retarded sales
of cotton both at home and abroad
The administration may propose
to give upward of 100000 bales Of
this cotton to growers agreeing tt
make sharper reductions in 1896
planting than now planned.

TRAPPED against a rock beneath
i the surface of a roaring noun
tain stream and unable to rise be-
cause of a 150-pound pack on top
of him, ]. v. Kirsch, well-known
hunter of Palmer, Alaska, owes his
life to the fiashlight gripped in his
hand when the water pulled him
under.
Kirsch and his party were on a
hunting trip and Kirsch had bag
ged giant moose only few hours
before. It was dusk when they be-
gan packing it back to camp, each
bearing about $50 pounds of meat
on his back. BY the time they
reached Willow Greek, famous in
Alaska for its fine trout, it was pitch
black. The water in the stream was
breast deep and rushing by so fast
it rolled up white. pillows on the
surface. Though they knew it was
risky under such conditions, they
had to cross. Hoping that the
weight of the meat on their backs
would keep them from being swept
off their feet. they pushed out eau
tiously into the foaming water.
Kirsch had gone only a short
distance when the water reached
his chest and dashed furiously at
the heavy pack he carried. He knew
then that he could never make it.
Turning, he tried to fight his way
back to the shore. But it was too
late. The rushing torrent threw him
down, and the heavy pack dragged
him to the bottom.
