An effort to abolish direct buying of livestock by packers was renewed in congress by Repre sentative Hope of Kansas, ranking re publican member of the agriculture committee. The Kansan reintroduced an amendment to the stockyards act which would place control of live stock purchases in the hands of the secretary of agriculture by giving him power to license markets and stockyards. It i3 the contention of proponents of this amendment that packers now divide territory, thus eliminating competition in ..bidding and virtually set their own prices on hogs, cattle and sheep. This practice, Kope asserted, has increased to such an extent that it dominates practi cally the entire purchase of hogs. "Recently packers apparently have, been able to fix prices to producers at will and pass the processing tax back to the farmer rather than the consumer," hope said. "I believe farmers are mor unanimous that di rect buying i3 detrimental to them than they were six years ago," he said, adding that hearings would be conducted soon on the amendment. Discussing the subject of direct buying. Senator Norris said it should be abolished, and packers compelled to bid for hog3 in markets regulated and controlled by the government. Senator Eulow, South Dakota, joined Norris ni his protest against direct hog buying. Norris questioned the advisability cf making beef a "basic commodity" under the agricultural adjustment act in order to adjust production thru payment of benefits. "There is danger in classifying too many prod ucts as basic commodities," he con tended. "Some . people would put all products in that class and the ad justment administration would top ple over from its own weight." Representative Burke, Nebraska, said he believes beef should be in cluded under that act "and it should have been a basic commodity from the start." He said cattle producers now favor it.
