INTEREST IN FARM BOARD PLACES KEEN (Continued !rom Page One) been identified with the Ameri can Cotton Growers exchange. Williams, however, also has had a variety of experience with wheat associations and cooperative mar keting organizations, and some leaders felt that his appointment was not Intended so much to give. cotton a representative on the board as to put on a man of gen eral interests. It has been supposed In authori tative quarters at the capltol that rice would have a representative in the appointment of Arthur P. Knapp, of Lake Charles. Louisi ana, a banken who has had exper ience In financing tho exportation of cotton. If Mr. Hoover should name both Knapp and a Georgia cotton man, this would leave only two places to go to tho middle western wheat, corn und dairy belt, since It has been assumed that the eighth place will go to Alexander Legee, presi dent of the International Harvest er company, whose appointment Is intended to satisfy requests that an "outstanding business man" be placed on tho board. Toagtie lHellne.s Charles C. Teague, of the Cali fornia Citrus league, whom the president is understood to have, wanted on the board, has declined to be considered. Whatever the personnel of the completed board proves to be and President Hoover experts It to be organized by August the members will be subjected to the closest scrutiny by the senate agri culture committee when their nominations are submitted to the senate In August for confirmation. Exlensivo hearings on the appoint ments are contemplated, and some members of the committee already have asked I'hulrman MeNary not to beicin these until all can be pies ent. representing, as they do, ev ery great farm commodity except tb" Hirua industry.
