458 GENERAL FARM PROGRAM 



Mr. WiLsox. 1 would like to answer it. 



Mr. SciiENCK. I will be glad to answer it. 



Mr. White. I am willing to withdraw the question since my col- 

 leagues seem to object to it. 



Mr. WiLSOx. I received, for a short time, $83 a month as an instruc- 

 tor in the University of California. Outside of that, my sole income 

 has been from farniing, getting $10 a day, however, as a director of 

 the American Farm Bureau Federation — if that is additional — and 

 for a short time, for 6 years, being a Director in Farm Credit. There 

 has been no other income in my lifetime. That was $10 a day when 

 I served. 



Mr. Randolph. My answer is none, n-o-n-e. 



Mr. Andresen. Do you get $10 a day just when you are serving or 

 $10 for 365 days a year? 



Mr. Wilson. $10 a day on the days we serve. 



Mr. Andresex. Do you raise cotton? 



Mr. Wilson. I did.l year, previous to the first war. I have not 

 since. 



Mr. Andresen. Then you are not a cotton merchant in any respect ? 



Mr. Wilson. No, sir. 



Mr. HoENT.N. 1 would like to ask the gentleman from California 

 what the purpose of his inquiry is. 



Mr. Page. I think the inquiry is rather unusual but the witnesses 

 seem to be eager to answer it. 



Mr. Hoeven. May I ask this question? Is the gentleman from 

 California a member of the Special Subcommittee on Agriculture? 



Mr. White. The full committee has the right to ask questions and 

 make statements. I do not claim the right to vote. 



Mr. Pace. Let it be made clear, Mr. Hoeven, that not only was the 

 full committee invited, but it was urged to meet with the subcommittee 

 and to freely and fully participate in the questioning of witnesses. 



Mr. Eandolph. 



Mr. Randolph. I wanted to answer the question and I thought I did. 

 I am in no business other than farming and being president of the 

 Alabama Farm Bureau Federation. 



Mr. Pace. Thank you. 



Mr. Schenck. 



Mr. Schenck. I have no other business save farming and being 

 president of the Indiana Farm Bureau. 



Mr. Pace. Thank you, sir. 



Mr. Heaps. 



Mr. Heaps. I indicated, sir, that I am more a dairy farmer than 

 anything else. I just serve occasionally on these boards on a per diem 

 basis. 



Mr. Pace. Mr. Kline. 



Mr. Kline. Mr. Chairman. I am also a farmer and I farm for a 

 living except that presently I happen to be working for the American 

 Farm Bureau. 



Mr. Pace. I assume everyone knew that. 



The committee will stand adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow. The 

 farm co-ops will be the witnesses. 



(Whereupon, at 11 : 55 a. m., the subcommittee was adjourned, to 

 reconvene at 10 a. m., the following day, Friday, April 29, 1949.)
