For Crops Advocated.
HUTCHINSON. Kus.. Oct. Hi.
(AP) Sen. Charles I,. McNiuy,
charging the new deal dodged the
farm problem by writing "a
check." promised today that a re
publican administration would not
use farmers ns "guinea pigs for
experiments toward the perfect,
regimented state.
The republican vlce-presidentlnl
nominee chidod Henry A. Wallace,
his democratic rival, on Wallace's
agricultural program in an ad
dress prepared for delivery in the
heart of the nation a bread
busk et.
"IiiRlead of grappling with the
problem, getting tit Ha roots, the
new deal evaded, theorized and
finally wrote n check," he said.
"Since 3933, fifteen farm bills
have become law; billions of dol
lars of public money expended.
The now deal has tried to buy Its
way out of trouble.
"What was the result? Take the
case of wheat. In spite of recov
ery in world markets, our share of
wheat export has dwindled."
Urges 2-Price System
McNary said he advocated.
ho had for 20 years, a two-price
system for crops with exportable
surpluses and recommended nn
American price for "that over
whelming portion of wheat con
sumed at Home."
"The exportable surplus must
not .continue to fix the price for
-tho rfiVble fcrdp. Today tHe'whnt
farmer's dolhir Is worth only 70
cents , of the city producer's dol
lar."
McNary recalled that Wallaoo,
former secretary of agriculture
in a recent Wichita speech liad
asserted the government poured
$215, 000.000 In the pockets of Kan
sas farmers in the last seven
years.
"'Personally I would not boast
