FARM BOARD’S WHEAT
FOR RELIEF AGENCIES. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received this day at 8 a.in.) WASHINGTON, October 4. The Farm Board’s bulging stores of Wheat and cotton were offered on Saturday tO' the National Relief Agencies as much u-s was needed, to be released either lor cash or deferred payments, to make bread lahli clothing for the needy. The Board has no authority under the law to give away its stocks. Only Congress trail do that. There have been suggestions that Con gross reimburse the Board. Should it do so the obligations of relief agencies would be adjusted by Congressional action, and wheat and cotton go for relief free. In the meantime, the Board has agreed to accept deferred payments so that the surpluses will be available immediately.
