AGRICULTURAL RELIEF 
The CuairMaN. Thank you, Mr. Lankford, your statement 1s 
greatly appreciated. 
(After informal discussion among members of the committee.) 
, The CHAIRMAN. Without objection, the hearings will be considered 
closed. 
Mr. HoLLingsworTH. I would like to make a little statement, and 
that is this: I will file a brief with you showing that the only solution 
to the farm problem is this equalization fee clause. That is the 
strong factor in this bill, and from my experience—may 1 say I 
bought from the chairman’s State, Sioux City, Iowa, hundreds of 
carloads of corn from them during the war time; in 1918 IT was vice 
president of the Dewey Milling & Grain Co. I bought the largest 
consignment of flour ever bought in the United States from the 
Lariebee Milling Co.; and I am qualified to make statements on the 
economic side of this that you gentlemen can not help considering, 
My remarks will be in concise form and no religious ceremony. 
(Thereupon, at 12.25 o'clock p. m., the hearings on the above- 
entitled matter were closed.)
