The old mother ben. congress, has settled down, prepared to hatch What Will something from It Hatch? the nest ol crop control eggs. At this stage of the proceeding, no one can make a guess as to the brood that congress will produce any better than a farmer's wife can tell what will be hatched by a real hen in her chicken house. About all that can be said for sure is that President Roosevelt called congress into special session to enact crop control legislation and, therefore, there is likely to be crop control legislation of some kind. It may not be hatched in the special session; the chances are that the many differences of opinion and the many demands cannot be reconciled in the six weeks which the special session may occupy before the regular session of congress con venes in January. In addition to the lack of time in which to maturely examine crop control questions, a rivalry has developed between the house and the senate over the honor of drafting and putting through the law which will tell the farmers what they can and what they cannot do aa farmer!. Let me say just here that such a rivalry may work to the benefit of agriculture because it is bound to mean a compromise between the house and senate on the legislation that finally is enacted. In other words, extremists, for and against any proposal, will have to yield and this may possibly result in some workable program for crop control. The main question before congress is the type of crop control law to be enacted. There are two kinds. Control may be compulsory or it may be voluntary.

Opponents of the secretary's scheme contend that this program is straight out regimentation and that it goes as far in this effect as anything done by either the Fascist Mussolini or the Communist Stalin. It takes no stretch of the imagination, therefore, to see what is just ahead in the matter of a controversy for crop legislation for the reason that each of the programs that has been thus far advanced contains political dynamite. There's the candidate who belongs to all the secret orders; if be left off his emblems, he'd catch cold; knows every grand hailing sign there is; hasn't missed a lodge brother's funeral in years; can hardly wait for the next one to die.

Several weeks prior to the opening day of the special session, Mr. Jones apeach pointed six was charged with drafting legislation applicable to a specific commodity. In doing this, Mr. Jones threw the door wide open. He included six farm crops to share the alleged benefits of crop control legislation, including the "ever normal granary" surplus control prowere digram. The rected to work out legislation covering cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco, rice and dairy products. Inclusion of rice and dairy products came as a surprise. Heretofore, there bad been little talk about Including rice and none about dairy products. The information that filters into Washington is that a majority of the dairy people have no particular hankering for government dictation in their business. Chairman Smith of the senate agricultural committee likewise has been busy. Throughout the summer he has been attempting to get a line on farmer sentiment by a number of hearings in various parts of the country. From all indications. Chairman Smith, who comes from South Carolina and is a farm er in his own right, is not enthusiastic about too much government dic tation in the field of agriculture. Over on the house side of the Capi tol, Secretary Wallace has many followers. Obviously, he will co-o-p erate with them very closely. Indeed, some of the house members who do not like Mr. Wallace or his "ever normal granary" scheme are referring to the Wallace supporters in the house as "Henry Wallace's boys." That indicates better than anything I can say how deep-seatethe feelings are. To add to the complexity of the job facing congress, President Roosevelt has said definitely that if there are subsidies paid to farm ers in connection with crop control legislation, that legislation must carry additional taxes to take care of the bounty payments authorized. Simmered down, therefore, what Mr. Roosevelt has said is that if the farmers want that kind of crop control legislation, they and all con sumers must pay for it with added taxes. I have heard general commenda tion of the President's position. It surely represents a straightforward policy by the Chief Executive in this regard. He has told the country now that he is willing to support agricultural subsidies through con trol of the crops if the whole country which has to pay the bill is willing to bear the extra taxes that are re - - 'rrx 5 v? v1 f2 a rescue boat Victims of raging Potomac river flood waters are evacuated from their Inundated homes by before to subside waters returning to the for waited at Bladensburg, Md.

Many groups of farmers, however, do not want that aort of thing. In consequence we find in congress now proponents of both the compulsory and the voluntary programs and each side appears to be determined in its position. We have seen both types used. Potato growers will remember how the potato control law laid down the rule that a quota of production should be imposed upon every farmer and that he must pay 49 cents per bushel above the value of his potatoes for every bushel produced above his quota. These growers will remember also the agricultural adjustment administration requirement that all potatoes sold must be packaged in a certain way that was prescribed for the grower by the AAA. In this connection it will be recalled bow there was a penalty in addition for those who failed to properly package the potatoes they sold. Beyond these requirements, there was also a penalty prescribed to be invoked against any person who did not properly package his potatoes and place a government stamp thereon. Besides all this, there was an "informer" section in the potato control law. It provided something of a bounty for any person who relayed to the authorities any information he had respecting failure of quired. any farmer to comply with the law and the regulations issued thereHaving presented the picture as under.
