AGRICULTURAL RELIEF 
Mr. ANprRESEN. You have stated you represent ten or fifteen farm 
organizations in South Dakota? * 
Mr. CrowbDER. Yes, sir. 
Mr. ANDRESEN. Is this committee to understand from you that 
vou speak for those farmers and that you want this committee to 
know that the farmers which you represent want a bill with the 
classification fee in it, or no legislation whatsoever during this session 
of Congress? 
Mr. CrowpER. That was the resolution passed on the 13th of this 
month in Aberdeen at the chamber of commerce of agriculture by 
the representatives of those organizations. 
Mr. AxprESEN. Then, you are bringing that to us as the opinion 
of the farmers up there that you want no legislation unless they can 
get the legislation with the equilization fee in it? 
Mr. CrowDER. Yes, sir. 
Mr. PvrNELL. For the information of the members of the com- 
mittee, I suggested yesterday that I would defer asking for unanimous 
consent to agree upon a date for further hearing in the corn-borer 
matter, until this morning. But I found that Mr. Worthley, who 
had charge of the corn-borer campaign out in the field, is in California 
and will not be back until the 15th. I assume the committee wants 
to question Mr. Worthley—I know I do—so as to check up the 
suggestion made by those who have appeared in opposition to the 
bill the other day; and we want to hear from Doctor Woods, who 1s 
down in the department. He was the man at the head, but Mr. 
Worthley had headquarters in Cleveland and was responsible for the 
administrative end of it in the field. Therefore I assume that at 
least the committee wants to hear Doctor Woods as well as Mr. 
Worthley. For that reason, after talking with the members of the 
committee who are responsible for this hearing, I have decided to 
let the matter drift along for a few days and not ask to be heard next 
week. I assume, Mr. Chairman, after conference with these centle- 
men, that it will be satisfactory to take a couple of days at the last 
of the month, when Mr. Worthley can be present. 
Mr. CLarkE. I understand, Mr. Chairman, that the rule is for us 
to proceed, except to give an opportunity for these folks that Mr. 
Purnell wants to be heard. 
The CuarrMAN. You are not pressing the request now, and that 
will be dealt with when brought up. 
Another matter is the seed bill. I have conferred with members 
here, and some of them want a short time for the consideration of 
the seed bill and probably there are some other matters that ought 
to be given immediate attention. If we are to make provision for 
people who apply for seed, that ought to be done immediately. 
Mr. ANpreseN. I think these farm-relief hearings are going to be 
drawn out indefinitely, and that such urgent matters oucht to be 
sandwiched in between from time to time. 
Mr. Crarge. Mr. Woodruff would like to appear before the com- 
mittee and present the Woodruff bill. 
The Cramrman. Without objection a day will be set aside for the 
consideration of this bill and others of like character. 
Mr. KincuELoE. How many seed bills are here? 
The CrAlrRMAN. Only one that I know of.
