Farmers Face Problems of
Greater Weight, View
of Congressman.
WASHINGTON, July $ (AP)
l)urjng recent debate on farm
tenancy, Oregon's representative,
Walter 1. Pierce, asserted Pacific
north west and intermountuln
states farmers "good farmers"
In many cases prefer to rent
IuimIk "hecuiiPH they make more
Itioney and have full use of earn
ings, avoiding taxes and interest."
This, ho said, contrasts with
other sections of the country,
where "tenancy seems to be a
form of peonage."
Inspection of tubleB submitted
to the house by Alabama's repre
sentative, Uankhead, discloses the
three Pacific northwest states and
Utah are about average tenancy
states.
Twenty-eight per cent, or 12,861,
of Idaho's 45,113 farmers rent
their lands usually on the sharp
cropper basis of two-thirds to the
tenant and one-third tq the owner.
Twenty-one per cent, or 14,065,
of Oregon's 64iKU farmers pay
rent- In Washington , 20 per cent
of tho slate's 84,381 .farmers, or
16FK:j5, .are renters. Utah has but
4.G82 renters among its . 30,61)5
fanners, or )5 per cent.
These figures compured with
69. 8 per cent of tenancy . In Miss
issippi, and the iov of 6-2 per
cent in Massachusetts. , .
Says Bill No Curie
Pierce termed farm tenancy "a
symptom and not a disease."
ile added that the hill, under
consideration it provides for
government purchase of lands, (or
sale under long-term contracts tp
present renters "is no cu'e for
tiie farm problem."
"It Is a i'e Kesture," he sdld.
Pierce then listed prices, specu.
lation, .taxes and interest rates as
agriculture's major problems.
The tenancy bill provides 10,-
DOQ.UOO for the first year's ppera-
am.'.VWua wlU he disirituiU on

Among these specialty products

"This lack .of. .data concerning
