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. 231
