AGRICULTURAL RELIEF 
205 
The CHARMAN. [ think the members of the committee appreciate 
the importance of the legislation. I do not think we should make 
any order without consideraing the program already arranged. 
Mr. KincHELOE. Do these people want to come before the com- 
mittee? 
The CralrRMAN. [ do not know how many there are. 
Mr. KixcHELOE. I do not think the business of the committee 
ought to be obstructed. 
Mr. PurNeLL. We have all this week, and I think the people 
interested in this bill are just about equally interested in the corn 
borer problem. We know these hearings are going to be dragged 
out two or three weeks, and you can not delay action on the corn 
borer legislation, if the committee 1s going to favor it. 
The CHAIRMAN. I am going to suggest that vou withhold your 
motion and confer with these people who are interested in the corn 
borer, as we are. It is unfair to push these people aside and keep 
them waiting until the next session. 
Mr. KincHELOE. Then, I understand Mr. Morgan, representing 
the dark tobacco people, is to go on to-morrow morning? 
The Cuairman. That is correct, if the committee understands it. 
Mr. PerNeLL. All right. I will defer my request until to-mogrow. 
Mr. KixcHELOE. Does the chair understand that it takes unani- 
mous consent to put on whoever comes in the morning? 
The CrairMmaN. I think that is understood. The order was that 
the representatives of the cotton people should come on first, but 
they could not be here this morning, and it was thought the tobacco 
people might go on. 
Mr. KincHELOE. He will be the only other one. 
The Crairman. Without objection, then, we will hear Mr. Morgan, 
of the Dark Tobacco Association to-morrow morning; and we will 
now adjourn to meet to-morrow forenoon at 10 o’clock. 
(Thereupon, at 12 o’clock m., the committee adjourned to meet 
to-morrow, Tuesday, January 31, 1928, at 10 o’clock, a. m.) 
COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE, 
House oF REPRESENTATIVES. 
Tuesday, January 31, 1928. 
The committee met at 10 o'clock, a. m., Hon. Gilbert N. Haugen, 
(chairman) presiding. 
The CuairMAN. The committee will be in order. I have a letter 
here from the American Farm Bureau Federation which I will ask 
the clerk to read. 
(The clerk of the committee thereupon read as follows:) 
AMERICAN FArRM BUREAU FEDERATION, 
Washington, D. C., January 24, 1928. 
Hon. GiLBerT N. HAUGEN 
Chairman House Commitiee on Agriculture, 
House Office Building, Washington, D. C. 
My Dear CuairMAN HavugeN: Our attention has been called to a question 
which Congressman Fort of New Jersey asked of our Washington representa- 
tive, Chester H. Gray, when the latter was testifying before your committee in 
support of H. R. 7940, with certain amendments, which had been agreed upon 
bv ourselves and other farm groups.
