' \ ' Survey of Situation For Each Crop Involved Will Be ' Initial Step (Copyright, 1933 NEA Service, Inc.) Washington, May 16.—The govern- ment’s first attempt to regulate and co-operate with industries through trade association agreements and sus- pension of the anti-trust laws will be t made in administration of the new ‘ emergency farm relief act. Along with the establishment of Production control for agriculture, va- rious large industries such as cotton manufacturing, packing and milling may soon be participants in price and Production agreements which will be enforced by the government against ; any who fail to adhere. The administration wants to boost farm prices by agreement among the business organizations which buy, Process and distribute the farmer's crops. It would thus avoid among some commodities the cumbersome Process tax which the secretary of agriculture is empowered to impose, and the money would go direct to the farmers through higher prices. Any concern which failed to carry out an approved price or production agreement could be forced to adhere to it or close up entirely, under the licensing provisions of the act. WHEAT PACT SOUGHT How many processing and distribut- ing industries can be handled in this manner will be determined by a series of commodity hearings which will be the first step taken under the new law. 5 Wheat, cotton, corn and hogs, pre- senting the three most pressing prob- WHAT PRICE RELIEF? How much will the individual consumer have to pay under the new farm relief act, designed to bring higher prices to the farm- ers? Experts of the Department of Agriculture have computed the ef- fect in the case of the two chief commodities involved—wheat and cotton—as follows: The maximum processing tax on wheat should not increase the price of the ordinary pound loaf of bread more than one cent. A tax of three cents a pound on cot- ton would increase the price of a $1.50 shirt by a nickel. lems, are scheduled first for hearings. ‘Wheat may be taken to illustrate the Procedure and scope of these hearings, which probably will delay the pro- mulgation of the first regulations un- til three weeks after the passage of the act. Letters are to be sent to each seg- 4 ment of industry involved—primarily i the growers and their cooperatives, the associations of millers and of bak- ers—who will be asked to send rep- resentatives here. The representa- tives will be asked to agree on several main questions. First, how much reduction of acre- age or production should be required this year tn view of the supply exist- ing and the general aim of the law? Second, what are the possibilities of raising the price under the licens- ing and trade agreement sections of the bill? Third, the recommendation of the Groups represented as to the amount of process tax which would pay the i farmer for his reduced production. AGREEMENT NECESSARY It now appears that the various commodity groups will be put on a straight process tax basis, a trade agreement basis or a combination of the two. a Administrators of the law call at- tention to President Roosevelt’s cita- tion of the cotton industry, where an approximate 10 per cent of manu- facturers keep wage and hour stand- ards down and production too high by failing to play ball with the other 90 Per cent. Trade associations have been unable to stabilize prices in the Past because of similar minorities and the anti-trust laws. Trade associations and marketing agreements formed under the emer- gency act are specifically exempt from anti-trust laws, and would per- mit packers, dairy associations, cot- ton and tobacco manufacturers and others to agree on production quotas and minimum prices. It is hoped to raise dairy prices to the farmer by trade agreements, since the distribution of dairy products is well organized and concentrated. PROCESS TAX LIMITED Process taxes are more likely in the cases of wheat, cotton and corn and hogs. Process taxes will be raised. for payment of rentals or other cash compensation to the farmer in re- turn for his acreage or volume cur- tailments. The curtailments are re- lied upon to boost prices. ‘The maximum tax is limited to the difference between the prevailing ‘g Price and the pre-war parity figure, so the amount of tax needed to re- store parity becomes less as market Prices go up. Parity doesn’t mean the pre-war price the farmer received, but 4s fixed in relation to the price level H of the things the farmer buys. ~ . The administrator of the act will be George N. Peek of Illinois, veteran fighter for farm relief.

LOTS OF COMMODITIES In the field will be state commit- tees consisting of the governor, com- missioner of agriculture, perhaps a supreme court justice and a director of agricultural extension and a couple of outstanding farmers. Each county will have a committee to carry on the work. @e state and county commit- tees are expected to see that the re- quired reductions are made and that the pro-rated consumption is paid. Certain sums to be pro-rated to the farmers affected probably will be al- located to each county, the amount based on size of the previous crop and the amount of tax. Attempts will be made to keep down administrative expense in the field, to unload clerical and administrative work on men already on the federal Payroll, to pay farmer members of. county committee on a per diem basis and to encourage county farmer as- sociations to help administer the huge program. BONUS ARMY TURNS TO SPEECH-MAKING Meets in Washington Auditor- ium to Voice Demands For Quick Payment Washington, May 16—(#)—The full strength of the 1933 bonus army—a force of considerably more than 1,000 men— Tuesday turned temporarily from their government-provided en- campment at Fort Hunt, Virginia, to from the white house. The Washington auditorium was set aside for the ex-soldiers as a conven- tion hall in which they could frame their demands for immediate cash Payment of the bonus. restoration of all veterans’ compensations and relief for the farmers and unemployed, Differences between various factions of the bonus army apparently were smoothered over at a series of meet- ings Monday at Fort Hunt. Preparation to take care of 25,000 veterans invited by President Roose- velt to join the emergency conserva- tion corps began at national head- quarters. Robert Fechner, director of the forestry work camps, on the theory that thousands of veterans of the World war would avail themselves of this opportunity, estimated that with these enrollments it would be neces- sary to increase the number of camps throughout the country by another hundred. This would bring the total to approximately 1,450 and would necessitate establishment of numerous other camps, especially in the west To date, 1,071 camps have already been approved in 43 states.

SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE A delicious cereal provides the “bulk” that is so important in overcomingcommon constipation. Tests show Kelloge’s Ati- Baan also supplies vitamin B to further aid regular habits. In addition, Att-Bran is twice as rich in iron as an equal weight of beef liver. The “bulk” in Att-Bran is much like that in leafy vege- tables.
