Show CONGRESS MAY PASS FARM BILL Frank Evans Explains New Act Which Drops Subsidiaries Price Fixing Salt Lake City. The chance for agricultural ag-ricultural legislation at this session of congress is much brighter than press reports from Washington would indicate, indi-cate, was the belief expressed by Frank Evans, secretary of the American Ameri-can Farm Bureau federation, upon his arrival in Salt Lake for a ten days' sojourn. Mr. Evans, prior to joining the American Farm Bureau federation as its secretary and general cooperative coopera-tive marketing counsel, was attorney for the Utah State Farm Bureau. He came direct to Salt Lake from Washington, Wash-ington, where he has been for some time working with agricultural leaders lead-ers in preparing a compromise bill which it is hoped will meet the approval appro-val cf the different factions seeking congressional action in behalf of the farmers. The new bill is was explained by Mr. Evans, eliminates all forms of subsidies and price fixing, and "It looks to be economically sound, as it involves only the business principles ! with which we are all accustomed to." It was necessary at the last minute, to attach a rider in the bill to provide special relief for the corn grower. The original plan, however, did not provide pro-vide for including corn as one of the ley crops, and it was thought that stabilisation sta-bilisation of wheat, hogs and cattle I would help corn. |
