(United The. House agricultural committee today laid before the House formal report on the Me-Nary-llaugen farm relief bill with an analysis of existing Ills in agriculture and tho manner In which the bill Is expected to cure thctn. Chairman Haugcn said he expected to be able to get tho bill before the House for Consideration before the end of next week.

Describing the threatening situation in 'agriculture the report set forth: 1. That half as many banks failed between 1920 and 192.1 ns during tho whole period from 1 902 to 1923. 2. That 4-7 of the total farm Income is taken to pay taxes and Interest on mortgages and debts. 3.

That farm labor has become so costly the average farms cannot afford to hire. 4. That moro than 1.120,000 farmers and hired men deserted farms In 1922 to seek Industrial em pluyment. G. That one-quarter of the farm owners In the corn and wheat states are bankrupt.

Above all that the purchasing value of farm products Is lew than half what It was before the war. The report advised the House that the McNary-llnugen bill was scientifically devised to cope with this situation. As described In the report the bill would: 1. Declare a general emergency exists In agriculture. 2.

Create a $200,000,000 corporation, the capital to bo furnished by tho government, with" a board of directors consisting of the Secretary of Agriculture and members appointed by the President. 3. Empower tho corporation to buy and sell wheat, rice, corn, wool, cattle, sheep, swine and food products of cattle, sheep and swine whenever a special emergency is da-dared in one or more. When the murket price falls below the ratio price the corporation will buy sufllclent of the commoiLlty for export to restore the domestic price. The ratio price Is one which shall bear the same relation to the pre-war price aa the current' aver age price of all commodities bears to the average pre-war prices of all commodities.

To 'protect the ratio price from foreign competition the Secretary of Agriculture may declare prohibitive or embargo tariff rates. To maintain the capital of the corporation, sn equa.llr.ntlon fee Is withheld from the producer on every purebnse -made hy any buyer and this res deposited with the corporation. If, after selling the surplus abroad, anything remains Bills will be restored proportionately to every producer In order to operate, the corpora tion Is given broad administrative powers and may, If necessary, con struct elevators or any other neces sary facilities. The committee's re port asserted that once In operation the plan would bring up the price of farm products to levels comparable with other commodities.
