Mr. Blalock will be in Washington early next week to confer with mem bers of the delegation on the matter of farm relief legislation. Mr. Blalock, in bis letter, declared that co-operative marketing is not at present enough to save the farmer and insists that something more must be done to stabilize prices. "With the surplus stock of cotton in the . hands of some governmental agency, or subsidiary, in my opinion, future contracts could not be so eas ily manipulated against the interests of the producers," Mr. Blalock stated. "I am deeply interested in co-oper ative marketing, but not because it is co-operative marketing. If some oth er plan can be worked out that will supersede co-operative marketing and bring us stabilization "of prices, I ami for it; or if some aid can be given co operative marketing which will help* the producers of the south, I am for that "I understand that the . railroads ire asking that the $300,000,000 loan made them by the United States government be extended for 30 years lengff ;tiM# Jtbe rate of interest good, sound legislation and^fcigt 3T it the government, ooght to do^But s this be true, cannot the United teg government do as well for the -r ?i basic industry of agriculture ?* } ? 1 ? ? ?
