FARMERS PUZLLE POLITICAL LEADERS Pérennial Revolt Is Missing Despite Sharp Fall in Price Level. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, June 18.—The Republi- can Party convention already is history. The Democratic convention is about to assemble, and still there is no sign of the perennial farm revolt that each campaign year bobs up to bother poli- ticians. | This fact is all the more strange in view of the distress that has struck ag- ricultural areas. Wheat on Friday sold at the lowest level of the season, not far from the bottom prices for all time. Corn is in new low ground for any pe- riod since 1897 and oats are not far above their long-time minimum levels. Yet none of the factions in the fight | for agricultural relief got what it want- I}} ed from the Republicans. There is no assurance that the Democrats will offer more. And thus far there is less evi- dence of radical agitation in farm areas than for any time since 1920. Both Pleas Rejected. The private grain trade asked for abolition of the Farm Board and its agencies. It received praise for the board and its activities. Farm organiza- tions asked for either the equalization fee, the export debenture or the allot- ment plan for controlling agricultural surpluses. ‘They were given none of these things. Republicans offered higher tariffs on | farm products, more aid for co-opera- ve marketing groups and support for plans to balance production with de- mand, provided those plans are “eco- nomically sound and administratively workable without burdensome bureau- cracy As to the Farm Board, the Republi- can platform, after saying that the agency was compelled to meet unusual problems in its first years of operation, asserted that, “nevertheless, the board has many achievements of merit'to its Credit. It has increased the member- ship of co-operative farm marketing assoctations to co-ordinate efforts of the local associations. By co-operation h other Federal agencies, it has made | able to farm marketing associa- lume of credit which, in would not have other- Larger quantities pr handled ively than ever before in the of the co-operative movement. | Grain crops have been sold by the| farmer through his as tion directly | upon the world market. Grain Traders Howl. s the Farm Board is not | d to strengthen the Republican | ; with the organized grain trade, | is crying loudly and long for | slition of the agency. And it is be a ures farmers have bren demanding for near- v 10 vears will influence the farm| ne2 that the farmer en particularly en- | remedies advanced The question in the minds of po-} litical leaders of both parties today is! whether the silence in farm districts means trouble. where in pre- rs the loud cries of distress to be mere cries of “wolf” wasn't any wol Parties wonder whether farmers are waiting to smite officeholders in No- vember, or whether they are giving the politicians the benefit of doubt and not blaming them for their eccnomic trou- Dbles ut 30-cent wheat at harvest time, and the promise of 20-cent corn in Novemb is none too pleasing to th> candidate for office.
