I have before me a letter from Mr. Milo Reno, president Towa Division, the Farmers Educational and Cooperative Union of America, Des Moines, Iowa, also numerous subscription blanks submitted by Mr. Reno, which I desire to call to the attention of the committee. The letter reads: Hon. GiLBerT N. HaUuGEN, Washington, D. C. Dear Mg. Haugen: At the suggestion of Mr. A. W. Ricker, I am sending you the original subscription lists to defray the expenses of the Corn-Belt com- mittee’s fight for the McNaryv-Haugen bill. Mr. Ricker informed me that some parties were rather weak in the support of this measure, because they felt the ‘farmers of the Middle West were not whole-heartedly for it. These lists will be an evidence as to the earnestness of the farmers in demanding a passage of this m tire. Tam asking that you return these lists when you are through with them. Very sincerely yours, Miro RENo. President. The subscrintion blank reads: SUBSCRIPTION BLANK IN BEHALF OF THE MCNARY-HAUGEN BILL The money subscribed hereon is for the sole purpose of defrayving the expenses of the legislative committee of the Corn Belt Federation of Farm Organizations at Washington, D.
