AGRICULTURAL RELIEF 613 Mr. Apkins. Our cooperating agency over here in the department has recently issued—you ought to get it—the outlook for the next season, based on all the information available as to what the out- look on about 61 commodities is now. So that we are already getting to the farmers the information that would be sort of keeping him informed on the matter of acreage on any commodity. Mr. Hare. That only supplements what I said, that we could take those agencies already in operation by the Government, take the products of their labors, hand it to the commodity organization of the farmers, and they would understand by the passage of this act that if the acreage for any particular commodity or crop was increased over and above the average acreage for the five years previous thereto, the benefits of the act would not be available. The bill to which I am inviting your attention has that provision in it. Mr. CLarkE. Have you a copy of that bill you have introduced? Mr. HARE. Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, the time, as I understand, is about up, and I will not be able to go further into the details of the operation of this bill this morning, but I would like to have an oppor- tunity to discuss it further and enlarge upon its provisions later. Mr. KincHELOE. You have 20 minutes more. Mr. Hare. Then, I shall be glad to go further into it now. Mr. Apkins. How do you propose to handle this surplus? That is the main thing. Mr. Hare. My idea is this: I hate to repeat, but with the finan- cial agencies existing sufficiently strong to finance any agricultural operation, with a warehousing system already provided and in operation for storing and taking care of any surplus, and with the cooperative marketing division in the Department of Agriculture, coordinating their activities should be able to handle the surplus. In this bill we would have a board quite similar to that in all of the other farm relief bills, whose duty it would be to see whether a sur- plus of any farm commodity exists, and if a surplus is found to exist, and the organized farmers request it, this board will arrange with the financing agency, arrange with the warehousing system and arrange with the cooperative marketing division for the organized producers, for instance, wheat growers or cotton growers, to take the surplus of such particular crop off of the market through coop- erative organization, just as they are trying to do to-day. Mr. Funmer. And under vour bill these various agencies—the financial agency and the others, would function under an emergency like that, when brought to the attention of the agencies by this board representing agriculture. } Mr. Hare. Pretty much in the same way as provided for in the Haugen bill, the Curtis-Crisp bill, the Aswell bill and the other outstanding bills proposed for farm relief. nN Mr. KiNCHFLOE. What are the fundamental differences between your bill and the Crisp-Curtis bill that was considered in the last 9 rE. If I understand it, that bill provides for a board that will enable individuals, or cooperative associations to take charge and care for the surplus of any commodity, without regard to the ination of existing governmental agencies. “ bill proposes a legislative program that will bring fs fees agencies together, and let them operate through one board,
