MATH IS Co-Operative Marketing to Form Substance of Pro gram Officials Look for Few New Moves. ITALIAN PRUNES ITO BIB SIZES THIS YEAR (AMrwlatMl Vrem Leased Wire.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. Whether the administration will Bubmit any new farm relief pro posals at the cumins session uf congress, or merely will stand on its recommendations of the past, has become a much debated ques tion. It generally Is agreed that the co-operative marketing legisla tion, advocated unsuccessfully last winter by the president's agricul tural conference, will again fco en dorsed by the White House and majority leaders in congress be lieve that in one form or another It can be passed, but the outlook for a farm legislative program of a more general character is dubious. Early last month it was announc ed the summer White House at Swampscott that President Cool- Idge would reassemble the agricul tural conference to draft such a general farm program. Secretary Jardine, however, does not favor I that course and in addition the president has heard advice of vary- j tug character from many outside sources. As a result. It Is the belief of pome high officials that If the agrl-" cultural conference meets at all this fall, It merely will be to draw up a fina in port on the investiga tions alredy mad-. and reinforce the recommendations already sub mitted. 1 It is the belief of Secretary Jar dine that the period of agricultur al emergtney U passing. He fav ors legislation to foster co-operative marketing, but- aside from that he feels that agriculture can work out Its own problems and will be better off for It. That President Coolidee himself has prown more doubtful over the wisdom of re-assambllng his con ference of experts was Indicated when, just belore he left Swamp scott, a White House official said a final decision on the point would be reached only after consulting Mr. Jardine. Now the president appears to have left the matter al most entirely up to the agriculture secretary and Robert K. Carey of Wyoming, chairman of the confer ence. No preparations are being made at the agriculture department for a meeting of the conference of which Mr. Jardine himself fa a member. Instead, the secretary Is preparing to personally discuss the problem with representatives of various farm organizations whom he plans to cat' to Washington some time this foil. President Cool idee plans to ad dress the convention of the Amer ican farm bureau federation to be h.'ld In Chicago. December 7 to 9. He Informed C. E. Pradfute. pres ident of the federation today In a reply to an Invitation, that he ex pected to accept. Representatives of agriculture from practically all paris of the country will be In attendance at the conference, giving the presi dent opportunity to explain in de tail his views on the farming sit uation.

P. said that Mr. Kellogg had "become Im bued with pettlcoated aristocratic ideas of Gnat Ilrltaln to such an extent that he still clings to them." Mr. Saklatvala expressed the opinion that the secretary of state, by his cancellation of the visa, had violated constitutional practices as twell as the, laws regulating the working of the interparliamentary 'roufereiices, and had "disregarded the ordinary laws ot political de cency."

A hope that the recent prohibi tion reorganization may end an en forcement regime which ' has left very much to be dealred," was ex pressed tonight by the U3oarrh and Kducatlon Department of the Federal Council of Churches In a comprehensive review of dry law enforcement. Th resume, which was a part of the department's special report on the social consequences of prohlbl-j nun, ueciareu among outer ininga that after making all due allow ances for the difficulty of the task, it was impossible to avoid the con clusion that prohibition enforce ment "under the Bureau of Inter nal Revenue, has, until recently, been undertaken with much less seriousness thai; the situation de manded." It was asserted also that the pro hibition unit "has undoubtedly giv en the Imtiresslon of a uroiiHirnndit ' hlintMIt unil till tmtii-twuifiii hnii cost It something In respect and cooperation; that "a certain demor alization" of the prohibition work of the justice department has arisen ,froni various . com plica t Ions; and that Secretary Mellon, who "has never been a prohibitionist," has failed to give to the prohibition en forcement oause the same kind of ledaershlp he has contributed to th conduct c-f o'her official duties.

Merkshtrea head the Mat to date, the Chester Whites coming second with one pig less. However, breed era are expecting that they will put on more weight than the Berk shire. The Duroc Jersey men are confident that their litters will oc cupy first place, and fanciers ot Poland Chinas claim the heaviest average weight and the most uni form litters. Breeders of swine have evidenc ed uiiUftual Interest In the contest, and It la thought that had the event been si a r ted earlier the state fair grounds would have been taxed to accommodate all that would have been entered.
