The Democrats rule by plural

would have well over a majority

farmers who grow wheat solely
for use on their own farms, sell
none on the market and do not
seek Government price support;
They now are subject to mar

Benson proposed such aehange
in the law last October. Yester-
day he appealed to the House

action now rather than wsit un-
til next year. The Senate al

ton.
Farmers who produce wheat in
