COMPROMISE HELD HOPE OF FARM AID IN CONGRESS FIGHT (Continued from First Page.) conferences among congressional |leaders looking to a_compromise bill For a time compromise was in the air and the prospects seemed good. But representatives of the Farm Bureau Federation and other farm organiza- | tions hurried to Washington, and the | compromise plan slumped decidedly. The influence of these farm organiza- tions is still strong. The problem of meeting in some way conditions of overproduction on the farms, of dealing with the export- issue, notwithstanding official reports of the Government showing that American agriculture has gone a long way on the road to recovery from the depression which set in after the war period. Farm leaders are convinced that something must be don to pre- vent similar periods of depression in the future, if that is possible. To this idea members of Congress gen- ally are favorable, and so is the ad- ministration. The only difference is over the proper method—the right | kind of legislation to help the farmer. Jardine’s Report Cited. Secretary Jardine of the Depart. {ment of Agriculture in his annual report has pointed with satisfaction to the fact that on September 15 the farmer’s purchasing power stood at | 92. with 100 representing the average {for the five years preceding the | which is referred to as “normal. {1926 his purchasing power was given {as %5, and in 1921 at 69. But high | prices of agricultural products do not | give the whole story. High prices - | for a small crop may net the farmer | no more than low prices for a larger crop. There are still many reports from the wheat and corn belts, indi- cating that farmers are by no means sut of the woods.” | Party lines in Congress have pretty well smashed over farm ald legisly tion.
