A farm relief plan which was de- layed in reaching here by the death of its author, Edward Pierce of Shelden, N. Dak., while en route to Washington with it in his pocket, was placed before the House agriculture committee today by John W. Mayer of Devil's Lake, in the same State. It would provide a board of seven in the Agriculture Department similar to the Farm Loan Board in the Treasury Department. Staple agriculture prod- ucts would be defined, and allotments | of these products which could be mar- keted would be made to the various districts represented on the board. Under this system, Mayer explained, the surplus problem would be settled. An appropriation of about $10.000,000 would be necessary to organize the country, sald Mayer, adding that no price fixing was contemplated. He argued that the plan would work suc- cessfully by giving the proposed board the right to sue and be sued. and to make contracts with the farmers to carry out its purpose.

The court took the matter under advisement and said he would rule today In overruling the objection of the re- spondents, Justice Hatfield said he did so reluctantly, but declared the Gov- ernment is entitled to the evidence as proof as the continuing character of the nuisance and for no other purpose. If the Government should fail to establish the existence of a nuisance under the national prohibition act at the cafe within the dates named in its bill. then the court will not consider the evidence of Mulhall, the court said.

Composite Plan Mentioned. Later, under questioning by commit- tee members, the Secretary conceded that “Congress can make a composite flood control plan out of the proposals of the Army Engineers and of the Mississippi River Commission.” ‘The Army plan provides for a $296.- 000,000 expenditure, while the commis- sion proposes & cost of $775,000,000 for [the work. The War Secretary did not indicate that he would favor a compromise be tween these two plans, but he readily conceded that such an outcome might be in prospect.
