Tenny, chief of the Bu- reau of Economics, Department of Agriculture, has disclosed in testimonv before a House appropriations subcom- mittee. Publication today of the testimony, given in framing the agriculture appro- priation bill, revealed that in addition to that huge amount, another $5,040,301 is subject to foreclosure. These foreclosed lands, and other huge tracts which have come into the possession of insurance companies, are making it necessary for the Agriculture Department to make a study of estate management, Mr, Tenny said. “These insurance companies, these banks and these other agencies that, by the force of conditions, are getting this Iand under their control, know very little about it,” he explained. “They know very little about the management of their tenants. Therefore, they are willing to have fundamental research work done to show them the best way of taking this 10,000 or 20,000 acre hold- ing and operating it efficlently.” Another problem of his bureau, he added, was that of adjusting farm financing in localities where banks Lave falled. PATTERSON TRACT IS URGED FOR PARK Trinidad Citizens' Association In- dorses Gasque Bill in Congress for Acquisition of Entire Area. Three resolutions, all looking to the eventual acquisition of the Patterson tract for park purposes, were passed after lengthy discussion by the Trinidad Citizens' Association at its meeting in the Wheatley School last night. The first of the measures adopted asks that the portion of the tract be- tween Sixth and Fourth streets north- east, which is now zoned second com- mercial, be rezoned back to residential; the second gave the association’s in- dorsement to the bill of Representative Allard Gasque of South Carolina, pro- viding for the condemnation of the en- tire tract for park purposes, and the third authorized the officers of the as- sociation to request parent-teacher as- clations and e¢hurch and fraternal organizations in the Northeast to go on record as favoring the development of the tract into a park. All of the resolutions were framed by Grover M. Koockogey, president of the assocfation. Miss Mariam J. Aus- tin, administrative principal of the Wheatley School, and other speakers stressed the lick of proper playground facilities in the community as the most urgent reason for the use of the Pat- terson land as a public park. The assoclation nominated Joseph L. Gammell of the Lincoln Park Citizens’ Assocfation for membership on the Cit- izens' Advisory Council. James C. Nealon, George J. Cleary and Joseph. Schrack were appointed a special committee to study ways in which the present methods of notify- ing citizens of proposed zoning changes could be improved. On motion of V. J. Brown, a resolu- tion was passed calling upon the Dis- trict Commissioners to purchase the half of the lot on the southeast corner of Seventh and K streets northeast for a branch library, firchouse or other “practicable structure.” The District ;‘m\'cmmtnl already owns half of the lot. K. P. Armstrong, member of the Cit- izens' Advisory Councll, addressed the meeting on the work of the body. and George M. Yeatman, president of the Southwest Business Men's Association, spoke on the reasons for locating the wholesale market in that organization's territory. . ‘The following four new members were admitted: E.

Dr. By the Associated Tress. With the live stock industry under- going a gradual transition from the open ranges to farms inclosed by fences, a grave danger from the rapidly in creasing prevalence of cattle parasites has arisen, in the opinion of Dr. J. R. Mohler, chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry. Relating the work of his bureau to the House committee, which today re- ported the Agriculture Department sup- ply bill, Dr. Mohler declared that unless & comprehensive control program i inauguraled the future food supply of the country may be seriously menaced. The damage from parasitism to live stock “is so widespread -and general that it may prove to be our greatest source of loss,” he sald. He estimated the annual loss to hides and wool at $50,000,000, and in lowered production of meat, milk and horse- power the loss ran into many millions more. While the foot and mouth discase and hog cholera had been almost eradi- cated, he said, live stock producers are “losing ground” to other parasites and diseases yearly. Discussing ~ poultry diseases, Dr. Mohler said that the blackhead had practically driven the turkey from the East to the Northwest and Southwest. Alien Parley Bill Approved. The Porter bill to authorize the President to accept the invitation of the Cuban government to appoint dele- gates to the second international emi- gration and immigration conference to be held at Havana, commencing March 31, was approved yesterday by the House forelgn affairs committee.
