government corporations, Includ
ing the Reconstruction Finance
Corp., are going to come under
close and constant congressional
scrutiny, it was learned tonight.
ihe house appropriations com
mittee has set up a five-man
subcommittee to maintain a
watch over those corporations,
including not only the big ones,
dealing in billions, but also the
small and little known ones.
The subcommittee chairman is
Rep. George H. Mahon, D., Tex.
Mahon said today that the sub
committee will hold its first
meeting one day next week for
preliminary discussions.
"You can bet," Mahon said,
"that in our Job we will be more
than intellectually curious."
"The first thing we're going
to do," Mahon said, "is to re
check the law and find out spe
cifically how far we can go in
our assignment. Since this is
something brand new, we're go
ing to have to move slowly at
first.
"In the past, these corpora
tions have appeared before dif
ferent subcommittees mainly to
justify their administrative ex
penses. Now they're going to
have to come before a single sub
committee each year, not only to
justify their administrative ex
penses but all of their other op
erations.
"After all, they are handling
biliions of dollars of public funds
and we, who control their purse
strings, should keep an eagle-
eye on their operations."

Where Weeds Coma From
To the editor: During the
meeting called by County Agent
Fowler at the USO last Tuesday
on "Farm Planning" a number
of vitally important facts were
brought out.
Among them were weed con
trol, water supply and. range.
All necessary factors to settler,
farmer and cattle men alike.
Weed control and water sup
ply depend solely on condition
of range. If there is a good
grass coverage it automatically
prevents reseeding of weeds and
will in time kill out the weeds
due to the grass roots being the
sturdier. This is also true in
preventing brush from reseed
ing, as the grass prevents the
seed from germination by hold
ing the seed off of the ground
thereby causing it to rot instead
of taking root.
As to water supply, grasses
are a great factor in' aiding water
to seep into the ground as it
rains or snows thereby gradu
ally feeding the irrigation sup
ply over a longer period of time.
Where weeds have control of
the range It is only natural that
the rush of water that has no
way of holding back will bring
with it weed seeds that eventu
ally are washed into irrigation
channels thereby causing a much
heavier weed growth in fields.
In the reading of Mr. Bohn
ert's committee report at this
meeting, I got the impression
that they seem to think that
their weed seed trouble was
coming from their neighbor's
neglect. I feel that if this snme
committee 'had Inspected the
watersheds which furnish their
irrigation supply they would
find it is furnishing their neigh
bor as well as themselves with
the weed seed that is washed
irom inese sheds due to their
much over-grazed condition.
i Deneve that they will be
more successful in eliminating
this weed menace by allowing
the grasses on these watersheds
to rcseed in sufficient amounts
io re-esiaDllsn the grass coverage.
