These diversified and uncompromis ing positions only serve to emphasize the magnitude of the problem. . The spokesmen for industry come to con-- gress with an agreed program. 'Ihe spokesmen of capital and labor like-- wige come from their respective groups with definite appeals made doubly effective because of the unan-- iImity of sgentiment back o them. When agriculture comes, however, we witness the pitiful spectacle of many spokesmen presenting widely divergent views and plans and each condemning as unsound and useless, thpmotthoothcu.lthtobe regretted that the, spokesmen" of the farmers cannot come with a unified appeal that will command the support of the congress and the country. L'n; less we can remedy this situation and reach a more common ground for leg-- islative action, I fear effective farm relief is a matter for--future rather than immediate contemplation. What it Will Mean "Tust now there are two distinct schools of thought in Washington. One group insists upon the immediate passage of the McNary--Haugen bill carrying the equalization fee, not-- withstanding the fact that it has once met.and may again meet a presiden-- tial veto. Such a course if followed, may mean no legislation for another year. It would probably mean that those of us who have been fighting for a number of years to secure agri-- cultural equality, must again return to our people empty--handed. There is another group which feels that th's question is of such wital importancée to agriculture and the nation that we ough not thus close the door until we have made an hones effort to draft a bill that will not only be acceptable anad hbelpful to the farmers but which will also have a chance to be-- come a law. The responsibility for this d.dlloll rests with congress. "Personally, my attitude toward the so--called McNary--Haugen bill is well known. I.have consistently support-- ed it since it was first presented to congress. I have each time helped in committee to draft it. I have each time helped report it out of commit-- tee and have voted and worked for it on the floor of the house. I believed in it then and I believe in it now. I feel that it offers an Affectual and workatle method of increasing and stabilizing the prices-- of farm com-- 'modities. 1 commend the farmers of the country for their willingness and desire to pay the cost of that increase adn stabilization themselves. It is the tirst time tha any group has asked congress for reliet and -- offered to ptythobmonto!hovnpockou. "Whether we should take as much of this bill as we can get now with tbl:n 'o.o"' y times it-':!::' n aige many of ploneer legislation or vhm: should choose to take all or nothing is a sérious question which must be met by the congress." s corn::orullnu Ladt Referring bill for an = tlonaliymahualol'un million dollars to carry on the corn borer campaign, Mr. Purnell said, "If the corn borer is Kept away from Indiana, Illinois and other corn belt states, it will be because the farmers on the edge of the infested areas thorough-- ty clean up their farms and remove Or destroy_ all vegetation in which this nest may hibernate.

The district must either be reorganized or anh Aappeal! taken to the lilinois supreme court, its counsel, Atty. H. G. Hempstead of St. Charles declares. Of the Two Courses Open This Might be Taken is Indica-- Judge Fulton's ruling <cwas given in a "guo warranto" proceeding, in-- stituted in the cireuit court at York: ville by farmers who sought to block the conservancy district.. While the formal order has not been signed, Judge Fuliton has announced that he found "notice had not been properiy given" owners of certain, property in the district "and ordered the docu-- ment drafted to incorporate this fact." Must Appeal or Reorganize Attorney Hempstead, general coun-- sel for the conservancy district, said today that the district would either be reorganized or an appeal to the lower court's ruling taken to the su-- preme court. "There is no statutory regulation in regard to giving notice to prop erty owners in the district," Attor-- ney Hempstead declared. "The case we find oursilves in is this: The dis-- trict was laid out without a 'definite description of the property to be in-- corporated in it and then five circuit judges from over the district, sitting as commissioners fixed its boundar-- fes. They were not obligated to hold the limits at first suggested, and did not, for they included some property not previously taken in and left some property which had been included out "Agitation, 1 understand, was start-- ed by Lou Weeks, a Yorkville farmer and others in an effort to block the establishment of the .district.
