By the Associated Press. Representatives of farmers in the Middle Western States were in- structed today by the House agricul- ture committee to draft a farm re- iief bill. Members of the committee pointed out that although the delegates ap- pointed by the recent Des Moines |ngriculture conference, who appeared teday, had indorsed in principle the Dickinson bill, to stabilize the price of surplus crops by a fund collected from farmers on a small sales tax, hey had favored a number of amend- ments. The committee wants a con- crete plan, complete in details. The delegates agreed to submit a rough outline of a measure in a day or_two. ‘The farmers brought their case be- fore the committee today when hear- ings were opened on a score of bills designed to aid agriculture.
