HOOVER DOES NOT
LIKE TARIFF BILL
President Regards Agricultural
Rate Increase As
Insufficient
INDUSTRIES TOO HIGH
WASHINGTON, May 13.?President
Hoover is dissatisfied with
the House tariff bill, regarding the
agricultural rate increases as insufficient
as contrasted with industrial
rate advances, and has
taken the initiative, in a quiet, offstage
way, to mould the measure
more to what he regards as the
party pledge.
His plan of action is to have the
House give the revolting agricul
turai woe iuriner iarm raw; increases,
and make these effective
by having the Senate pare down
some in the increases granted to
industry, which naturally are reflected
to the farmer's cost of living.
These views have been transmitted
to party leaders at the Capitol.
This plan is designed to cause
less confusion than if the President
were to attempt openly at this
stage to interfere with legislation
in the House, which is not his
mode of action anyhow. Republican
leaders already have decided
to grant at least some of the demands
of the agricultural bloc.
These will be put forward as committee
amendments, and thus will
not open the tariff to general rewriting
in the House. If the President
attempted to get his leaders

schedules, a great clamor would
arise. This will be left to the
Senate.
Republican members of the
Ways and Means Committee, which
drafted the tariff bill, will begin
tomorrow a series of conferences,
expected to last two or three days,
with farm leaders who are seeking
further increases.
Meanwhile, the House continues
debate on the controversial measure
today, with demands for a
tariff on potatoes and for reduction
in the proposed sugar tariff of
three cents.
The specific extent of the President's
dissatisfaction with the farm
bill was not disclosed. There were
reports that he thought the proposed
three-cent sugar rate too
high, and that he opposed increased
rates on brick, cement and
shingles which the farmer must
buy, but there was no confirmation
of these reports at the White
House.
President Hoover called Congress
in extra session for farm relief and
limited revision of the tariff to aid
the farmer and to aid some few industries.
Agriculture was the principay
field for aid. He has seen a
tariff bill reported that went far beyond
these qualifications, with increases
granted to industries all
along the line, and with agriculture
given far less attention than farm
members had expected.
He has heard cnarges that this
measure does not "equal" agriculture
with industry, because it boosts industry
up still a few more notches.
He has come to realize, also that the
whole purpose of the extra session;
might be defeated. Rumbles of revolt
on both farm relief an dtariflf
presaged a possible coalition between
Democrats and dissatisfied Western
Republicans that would mean no end
of trouble.
Pointing out that Western Republicans
are seeking their ends peaceably,
if possible, Representative
Dickinson, Republican, Iowa, leader
of the house farm bloc, said today:
"Fifty votes can turn the House
upside down."
He explained tnat all the farm
members want is a chance for a

The proposed three-cent sugar
tariff was attacked in the House
today by Representative Frear, Republican,
Wiscinsin, who declared it
would increase the consumer's sugar
bill $240,000,000, advancing the retial
rate from five to seven cents a
pound. Frear recommends the rate
be left as it is, with a limitation
upon duty-free imports from the |

finitely shaping themselves for the
forthcoming harvest, we are presenting
our first 1929 crop forecast
report.
Wheat shows a May 1st condition
in this State of 87 per cent of a
full crop prospect, which, at 11
bushels per acre, would indicate
5,111,000 bushels production. This is
slightly below the average for the
past ten years. The Winter and
Spring weather has been rather
favorable for all small grains.
Rye and oats each show a condition
of 88 and 86 per cent of normal,
which is well above the average,
especially for oats. Rye has a
prospect of about 12 bushels per
acre, indicating about 1,010,000
bushels for North Carolina this

planted in the Spring. The average
yield is more than 20 bushels.
With the Spring hays showing a
condition of 85 per cent and last
year's crop on hand estimated to
be about 15 per cent, we have a
good prospect but low supplies on
farms. However, pastures, reported
at 89 per cent, have been good since
March, which has largely relieved
the need of so much dry feed.
The peach crop is reported at 76
per cent of a full outlook, which is
slightly below last year. In fact,
there is a prevalence of bacteriosis,
curculio (or worms), ana a smauer
crop of fruit buds which would
indicate that the crop will not be
large as last year. This would indicate
that orchards where fruit
has been well cared for might sell
to advantage this year.
There has been a shortage of
rainfall in most parts of the State,
and particularly in the eastern
trucking areas. However, the rain
was well distributed, and crops
have not suffered but rather soils
have been kept in good condition
for preparation and cultivation.
English peas were relieved by the
recent rains.
Early Irish potatoes have benefitted
by the shortage of rainfall
