fHE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1921, Commission on Fanning Survey May Visit Omaha Senator Norris Slated to Be Member of Proposed Body If He Can Spare Time From Other Duties. Washington, May 25. (Special leiegram.) 1 lie commission on agricultural inquiry which it is ex pected congress will create to make a general survey of all branches of agriculture will bring to Washing ton a number of Nebraska men as sociated with farmers' unions of that state. Senator Norris, chairman of the committee on agriculture, who will undoubtely be a member of the com mission, if he can possibly spare the time from his exacting duties, will insist upon Nebraska farm leaders being heard and may even broaden the scope of the commission's activi ties by suggesting calling represen tatives of industries enot strictly agricultural in character, but never theless having intimate relations with farmers, to the end that the fuller information possible may be had to aid in perfecting future legislation. It is understood that the commis sion will go into finance, credits, transportation and other matters which underlie the whole agricultural lit uon with special reference to the qu ion of distribution and exports nsofar as these affect the farmer If Senator Norris is not appointed to membership in the commission he will at least be one of its most valu able advisors. Senator Lenroot, au thor of the resolution to create the commission, said that Senator Norris would be consulted as to personnel, orocedure and other matters as sociated with the duties of that body. It is understood that former Con gressman . . Pollard, one of the leaders in the farmer union move ment in Nebraska, will be invited to give testimony before the com mission. Mr. Pallard was one ot the delegates to the farmer union convention which met in this city last month. He heartily approved the plan of President Barrett to ask congress to create a commission of agricultural inquiry. "Nebraska is a very important agricultural state and leaders there should be able to supply the pro posed commission with information of a mct valuable character," said Mr. Barrett. "As a distributing point Omaha is one of the leading cities in the United States. From leaders there we ought to be able to glean some enlightening facts on the subject or distribution. "Some of the senators who are en thusiastically supporting the plan to create a commission of agricultural inquiry are suggesting that the com mission should visit Omaha and tor a week or two make its headquarters there. Witnesses from all sections of the middlewest could assemble in the Nebraska metropolis instead of coming to Washington to give testi mony.
