FOOD SURVEY BILL PASSED BY HOUSE Senate Devotes Day to Debat ing Cattle Tick Appropri ation in Measure. ITEM GREATLY REDUCED Motion to Eliminate 2, 500, OOO for Seeds to Be Sold to Farmers at Cost and for Fight on riant Disease Is Cp. WASHINGTON. May 28. The Admin istration's food survey bill, first of the food-control measures, was passed by the House today without a record vote. It appropriates 114,770,000 for an im mediate investigation of the country's food resources and for measures to stimulate production. A similar bill is Tinder debate In the Senate, and may be passed there Wednesday. The Agricultural Department expects to present a fairly accurate estimate of food resources within three weeks after the bill is signed by the Presi dent, Secretary Houston said today. As soon as the measure becomes a law the department will start its 17,000 em ployes and the 150,000 voluntary crop reporters to work on the investigation. The preliminary report to be made within three weeks will be supple mented with monthly reports and prob ably by a further complete report with in six months if necessary. Hoovrr to Be Advised. The material gathered will be turned over to Herbert C. Hoover, who has been named to head a food administra tion as soon as the pending regulatory food measure bocomes law. The survey bill passed virtually as it came from the committee. Miss Ran kin, the woman Representative from Montana, inserted an amendment which would require the Department of Agri culture to; use women in the survey work whenever practicable. An amendment by Representative McKenzie, of Illinois, would make all persons employed under the bill liable to military service, and another would permit citizens to refuse to go more than 300 miles from their homes or places of business to testify in a food inquiry. Seed Fond Provided. As originally drawn, the bill carried more than $18,000,000, but committee changes reduced the total. These are the principal amounts appropriated For seeds, $5,778,000; education for in creasing production by waste elimina tion, and conservation, $4,348,400; gen eral survey, $2,522,000; eradication of livestock diseases and livestock im provement work, $885,000; miscellane ous items, $547,400, and eradication of plant diseases and Insects, $441,000. Many Republicans, including ex Speaker Cannon, repeatedly attacked the measure as wasteful, particularly as to the survey feature. Chairman Lever, of the agriculture committee, declared heatedly in closing debate to day they were raising a false issue. Senate Debates Cattle Tick. "It Is not economy that these gentle men desire to propagate that accounts for the opposition to the bill," he said. "It may be that the opposition can be accounted for because we are carrj lng power in the bill to go into storage con cerns and find out who is hoarding and who is speculating." The Senate devoted the day to de bating and adopting an amendment by Senator McKellar reducing the appro priation for the eradication of the cat tle tick and other livestock .diseases from $2,083,000 to $825,000. A motion to eliminate an appropriation of $2,500, 000 for seeds to be sold to the farmers at cost by the Department of Agricul ture and for the eradication of plant diseases was pending when the Senate adjourned.

' Increase of 15 Per Cent Would Drive Cattleafrowera Out of Business, Say Livestock Representatives. WASHINGTON', May 28. Agricul tural and livestock interests, protesting- to the Interstate Commerce Com mission today against the railroads' proposal for a 15 per cent general In crease in freight rates, declared that such a revision not only would un justly burden food producers, but would handicap seriously the whole food pro duction initiated by the Government as a war measure. During the day's hearing representa tives of the American National Live stock Association and of the National Council of the Farmers' Co-operative Association submitted a mass of evi dence calculated to show that stock raisers and farmers already are bear ing unusually heavy expenses and could not make a supporting profit if a freight increase were added. Speaking for the livestock associa tion, T. W. Tomiinson told the Com mission that Western cattle producers win nave to get z& per cent more than last year for their product, even under present conditions, in order to make a living. Even then, he said, many cat tlemen doubtless would have to go out of business and with an increased freight rate to market the effect was sure to be felt in a decrease in meat production. Both Mr. Tomiinson and Clifford Thome, who appeared for the farmers' association, pointed out in detail hew the price of everything entering into grain and meat production had in creased.
