Hill said he wrote a letter to Sen ator James A. Reed, democrat. Mis souri, chairman of the senate "slush" committee, asking an opportunity to refute the falsehood issued by Wheel cr before the committee Friday morn ing. Admission was made by Hill that railroad expenses had been paid to speak before meetings on prohibition, but never had he received "honorar iums" such as those paid to dry mem bers of congress, he said. Representative Edgar Howard, of Nebraska (democrat) said that he offered Hill a fee for his speech be fore the Midwest Nebraska exposition at Columbus, Neb., last October, on behalf of the exposition, but that Hill had refused to accept the money. On two occasions when Hill de bated the prohibition situation with Wheeler, he was offered money, but refused it, the Marylander told the house. lie is chairman of the unofficial committee on modification of the Volstead act in congress.

Hog Prices to Remain Strong, Report States Government Indicates Pig Survey Shows Fewer Animals in the Corn Belt. Washington. "This year may well prove to be another season of improvement in agricultural condi tions," the department of agriculture announced today in its July report on the farm situation. "The stage is set for strong hog prices well into next year, prospects for wheat growers are moderately good, cattle are coming back in the west, and the dairy industry ia pick ing up in the east." Cotton, corn, potatoes, and even wheat, are largely a speculation at this date, the department said, be cause of backward weather. Abun dant fruit crops were declared in prospect, with hay apparently a short crop, except in the far west, and low stocks of old hay. The wheat harvest, now in full swing, was described as having turn ed out unexpectedly heavy yields over parts of the southwest, though hurt by dry weather in sections from Kan sas northward. Spring wheat, after a very poor start, was said to have benefitted from recent rains throuKhout the northern belt, while general indica tions suggested less spring wheat than last year, but a substantially larger total wheat crop. World stock of wheat, however, were estimated on June 1 as about 30 million bushels below wheat last year, with stocks in this country un usually low. The pig survey, showing one-half per cent fewer pigs in the corn belt this spring than last, the department commented, means no increase in the supply of hogs for slaughter before next spring, and presumably well sustained prices for a yearf yet to come. Concerning agriculture prices, the report declared the crop season is along now where production reports will have a greater inuuence on prices, with cotton, wheat and pota toes showing-a tendency to lose a few points in unit exchange value while corn and hay have gained a point or two.
