An amendment to limit investment income was proposed by Representative J. Buell Snyder in 1933.

@pink The FPJ is different to a water extract. It’s a more concentrated liquid feed to be diluted 1:1000 to 1:500 with rainwater. It can also be made long term shelf stable after a vinegar extract.

(See my replies to @jjmcgaffey for instructions).

The amendments (with many more) are from this book:
