A number of amendments to the bil' were adopted, hut they were practi cally all proposed by friends of tlx1 measure. Attempts to defer the oper* tlon of the equalization fee on cotton for two years, or even for one year were voted down. , . Now thru the h'M has pnss.ed th.f wmatc. the proponents of the measure are jubilantly predicting it will be ap- 11roved by the house within a few (tay j;nd will be put up to President Coo! I lpe for signature or rejection. The bill, as it came from the com niittee, provided for dealing with tin surpluses of wheat, cotton. co"rn. ri<*e and hogs, called "basic" agricultural commodities To this list tobacco wns lidded in the senate as the result of rn amendment offered by Senator Mi Kellar of Tennessee. The bill provides for a federal farm board of twelve plus the secretary, of agriculture. One member of the boar<! Is to be selected from each federal land bank district. A revolving fund of f250.000.000 is provided. The federal farm board provision' in the bill contemplate "farmer con trol" of the membership. The Presi v ileiit is to make the selections out o! nominees recommended by agricultu ral influences. Efforts to knock oui this "farmer control" failed in the senate. A veto of the bill by the President is generally expected, inasmuch as the measure, as passed, is essentially th< same as that of last session.' which he* condemned as a price-fixing schern. and economically unsound. Some cor: belt leaders have been predicting tha* he will change front and sign the bil' because of the insistent demand «»t the agricultural region for farm te lief and because of the certainty tha' his renomination will be strenuousl> opposed in the West if he should veto the bill. The bill could not be repassed ove; executive disapproval, the vote in tlw senate having been far short of the necessary two-thirds to override u veto. The prospect therefore, for eu aetment of the bill Into law is not promising.
