Washington, D. C., Dec. 18 â€" So many amendments have been made to the Farm Bill on the floor.of the Senate that I doubt if its authors â€"Senator Pope, of Idaho, and Senâ€" ator McGill, of Kansasâ€"will recogâ€" nize it when printed in its final form. And, strangely enough, one of the severest critics has been Senâ€" for Senator Borah, of Idaho, who has not felt he should be deterred in his criticisms simply because the jJunior senator from his agricultural state is one of its authors. The leader in the amending pro-‘ ©ess has been Senator Charles L. McNary, of Oregon, He has been the chief antagonist. He has been a big problem to Pope and McGill as they have labored in day and night sessions to bring their bill to final enactment without major amendâ€" ments. There probably have been occasions when the authors secretly wished that the Oregon senator would be "unavoidably detained from the Senator Chamber." With meticulous legal skill Senâ€" ator McNary has dissected line after line of the bill. While we may not necessarily agree with his views, he has ability, rare ability, and we have to admire it. On many occasions he has remonstrated his technical knowledge of parliamenâ€" tary rules, being quick to stop a seemingly innocent motion which would trap less wary Senators. And, having served for many years on the Committee on Agriculture, he has a detailed knowledge of the farm problem. A clever parliaâ€" mentarian, with a knowledge of the subject being debatéed and ability in making telling points in arguâ€" ment, is the type of debater one likes to have on his side. But Pope and ‘McGill have had him against .them and their farm bill. The dairy farmers of Illinois should be particularly interested in the efforts of Senator McNary. Lasi Friday he succeeded, by a vote of 41 to 38, in having an amendment inserted in the Farm Bill: to prevent land taken out of production of crops being used for the proguction of dairy â€" products ' u3 4 _ * a + P N~** 2 fihe waar: V OR ‘That‘s the best way we know of to describe the freshness and pureness of Mellody Farms‘ milk.

CHURCH where those products come into competition with the established dairy industry. Under the existing Soil Conserâ€" vation Act, for example, payments are made to the cotton farmers who take their land out of production and plant grasses. These farmers naturally turned to the raising of cattle and entered into the dairy industry. The result has been that the cattle raisers of the North and the dairy farmers began to find themselves in direct competition with the Southern producers of their products. Senator MeéNary‘s amendment is designed to afford the established dairy and cattle inâ€" terests of the North protection from this development. As to be expected, bitter oppos!â€" tion to the amendment came from the Southern Senators. Vehement opposition was~ alsoâ€"expressed ~by Pope and McGill, the coâ€"authors of the Administration‘s bill. But Mcâ€" Nary was able to defeat the opposiâ€" tion, notwithstanding the Adminâ€" istration‘s pressure, and an issue which has been fought for four years was won for the dairy, catâ€" tle and poultry interests. In making his appeal against the amendment Senator Bankhead of Alabama stated that the amendâ€" ment was of the same character as the previous amendment offered by Senator Ellender in connection with cotton which Senator Borah claimed was unconstitutional. Senâ€" ator Borah.quickly replied: that he believed the Ellender cotton amendâ€" ment to ‘be unconstitutional and likewise the McNary: dairy amendâ€" ment, but he believed the whole bill to be unconstitutional and was therefore willing to have the dairy interests "go up or down with all others interested." Thus Senator Borah destroyed the effect of Senâ€" ator Bankhead‘s argument. With Borah and McNary to conâ€" tend with, the Administration has had a hard fight in the Senate to save its Farm Bill. In an effort to drive it to final enactment the majority leader has forced the Senâ€" ate into night sessions. Eut whatâ€" ever the final result, looking at the matter objectively, we all have to recognize that it is the learning and ability of such men as Borah and McNary, even though we may not fully agree with their contenâ€" tions, that contribute much toward the strengthening of our laws. The process of having to "hammer bills out _ of the â€" legislative _ anvil", though trying and tiresome, is much to be preferred to the wellâ€" known "rubberâ€"stamping" process that characterized other sessions of Congress.
