Crop Prospecis Good. Discussing conditions in his home State, which was severely hit by the drought last year, Senator Rcbinson said that the prospects for good crops seem to be excellent and that the farmers were in a better frame of mind and ‘working hard. He added, however, that economic conditions generally were still far from good. The Arkansas farmers have made good use of the loan provisions con- tained in the relief bills put through ¢by Congress at its last session, Senator “Robinson said. He himself as Demo- cratic leader of the Senate and as Sen- ator from Arkansas took the lead in the effort to liberalize these loan pro-| visions and to have them incluce loans Jor the purchase of food and other ne- cessities as well as for.feed and for use in operating the farms. Senator Rob- inson was largely successful in his de- mand for such liberalization of the loan provisions. Opposes Pledge on Wheat.
