you will proceed in a practical way. 

 Tilt! Federal Horticultural Board will 

 lortainly listen to the agricultural com- 

 mittee of the House, because they get 

 their appropriations through that com- 

 mittee. The agricultural committee, in 

 turn, will certainly listen to the urgent 

 request either of their own members or 

 •I reasonable number of other members 

 'if th(! House. No one can deny you the 

 lieiiefits of a hearing. That is the least 

 tiling wliich the agricultural committee 

 "f the House can in fairness do. 



"Those who arc interested in this 

 matter are sntticient in numbers to se- 

 ' iiic sucJi a iiearing if th(\v will proceed 

 ia a determined manner. Let me tell 

 you sometliing about the iittitudc of a 

 member nf Congress. Those whom I 

 liave met are jiractically all fine ft-l- 

 lows jx-rsonally. Tiiey -.irv trying to do 

 'ight in tlie service they render to their 

 '■oiistitueiits. They iirc luniiaii, of 

 'imise. Must men are in Congress be- 

 'iuise they want to be there. Most of 

 'heni want to stay there. Thev recog- 

 nize the fact that" the best way to stay 

 'licre is fo render satisfactory service 

 '" the peojile whom they rejiresent. 



"iSo if each of you will tell your con- 

 u:iessman that you think an injustice 

 lias been done the liorticultural jirofes- 

 •*!"» by this <iuarantine, that you insist 

 I'I'on an impartial hearing of the whole 

 'I'lestion before the agricultural commit- 

 ^'''' of the House, tliat you ask him to 

 "^'^ his influence to secure such a hear 

 '"g. I am sure lie will gladly respond 

 '^'vorably. 



'Take my advice and don't write a 

 i'"m letter. Take the facts and write 

 "nm in your own way to vour own con- 

 ^i-essman. Don't let him put you off 

 |\'th a formal acknowledgment. Tell
