explanation why the farm hoard
"ceased" wheat stabilization opera

wo around a dollar and did not
start them again until the price,
reached a point "where the farmer
could not livo."
Speaking on tho house bill to
appropriate another 1150,000,000,
for tho board for immediate uac,
the Idnhoan asserted the ' board
stopped Its attempt to pel? the price
last spring the "day after'' Julius
Barnes of the United States cham

Senator Smoot, Kepuhllean,

price last spring aa long as It pos
sibly could.
Borah added the only hope held
out by Chairman Legge for the
farmer was "to reduce acreage'
