Farm Markets Held Aided by rade Treaties Washington, Feb. 21 W'l Repub lican opponent of the administra tion's trade agreements program were accused by Rep. Buck ID, Calif.), today of using "statistical legerdemain" In their effort to show that the program had Deen injuri ous to agriculture. Buck, beginning the last day's de bate on legislation !o continue the trade treaty syc'.tm for three years from June 12, said republicans had contended that 1832 and 1933 were good years for agriculture because farm products constituted about au per cent of all united States ex-Dorts. But the "real test regarding agri culture." Buck argued, was round In other statistics which, he said showed that, exclusive of benefit payments, the agricultural cash In come rose from $4,600,000,000 In 1832 to $7,700,000,000 In 1839. The speaker cited other statis tics to show that agricultural lm ports dropped from $2,178,000,000 in 1829 to $899,000,000 last year.

The board members, Chairman J. Warren Madden and Edwin S. Smith, refused to participate in his campaign, he said, but made no objection to anything which he might do. He had left the board's employ before the conference, he testified, but subsequently called up on regional officers In various cities to assist his plans.
