Farm Editor) WASHINGTON, Sept. 2—A man credited with many battles for agri- culture will head the,defense of ad- ministration principles in the Sen- ate when the Seventy-second Con- gress convenes in December. A “hell raiser” for agriculture was the late Speaker Longworth’s description of L. J. Dickinson, who, after 12 successive years in the House, comes back to the National Capital and the Junior Senator from Iowa and successful opponent of Daniel F. Steck, Democrat. Dickinson’s agricultural predilic- tions date back to his birth in 1873 on a farm in Lucas county, Towa, where his earliest recollections are of hoes and horses and, subsequent- ly, of gang plows and the corn binders which turned out the ne- ! cessary capital for his education in ,law at Cornell college. | A practicing attorney whose ad- monitions for alliance to the Re- publican Party elevated him to| Congress in 1918, Dickinson reach- | ed Washington just in time to get both feet right in the middle of | farm relief legislation.

Steel, electric and power reports failed to provide any trace of the seasonal quickening in industry and trading was moderate * although the volume quickened over yester- day’s seven-year minimum level. Lehigh Valley tumbled eight points to the lowest since 1902. Pennsylvania sagged more than two points to the lowest since 1922.
