FARW1ERS WHO
IRE STUNG
CHAMP AT BIT
Growers Feel They Are Not Get
' ting Promised- Relief,' Wheat
Fiasco of 1920 Is Lesson; May
Be forced to Sell New Crop.
By Robert J. Bender
United New, Staff Correspondent
Salina, Kan., June 18.- The farm
ers' ' strike against the sale of their
protlucta is at an end. There will be
little holding out for higher prices
In. this' country when the big wheat
harvest is in. The hope of $1.50, $2
or even higher prices for wheat has
vanished. This hope," which was re
sponsible for some 44,000, 0C0 bush
els of last year's wheat crop still be
ing in the bins on March 1 this year,
has been followed by a realization
that the new crop must be sol? Im
mediately "in order to get more
money In circulation and Improve
conditions generally. Farmers who
refused to sell their wheat a , year
ago for' $2.50 because they 'were
holding out for $3 are now reproaching-
themselves for hanging on.'
And. with the decision to end the sell
ing strike, farmers, as well as bankers,
merchants ' and others In this : great
.wheat belt, believe that harvest time
wUJ mark the beginning of better times.
FARMERS NURSE GRIEVANCE
Nevertheless, the farmers are more or
less restive. They feel that they were
called upon to bear the brunt of liquida
" tion first and, - as they visualize the
national situation, they feel that no class
has been made to suffer as they have.
Today their chief complaint Is lack of
credit facilities.
In the last two days I , have talked
With many farmers In four great wheat
raising parts of this section. With all
it was much the same story. They de
clined to sell their last year's crop be
cause they expected better prices, and
then, with thousands of bushels In the
bins, ' their credit facilities were - cut
Off. , :- ,
This disappointment, resulting from
' declining :. prices, coupled with inability
to get" the credit desired. ' has brought
about a strong feeling of antagonism
among farmers against the banks. They
read bank statements showing large

from Captain Peterson who, after res
cuing Amundsen and his party, made a
special trip to bring them back to Nome,
Alaska. - 1

great difficulties, made its way over
the Ice to Siberia and. finally down the

A number of years ago. in conjunction
with the United States government, the
Llebes company had a number of casks
with messages in them, frozen into the
Ice near Herald island. These casks
were found, five years later, on the
other side of the north pole, apparently
indicating that the currents forced the
Ice across the north pole. Amundsen
decided to make the same attempt .with
a ship, reaching the north pole in a novel
manner. . ' .

Bartlett who was making a similar ex
periment for. the United States govern

fact he . was Buffering as a result of
wrenched muscles in his back, due to an
accident. He made a sensational play,
blocking a British try for goal and then
scored a goal for America soon after the
match got under way.

"My back Is still sore, but I did not
feel it in the excitement of the game.
I'll be ready to play again Wednesday.
There was much disappointment
among the British, however, over the de
cisive defeat of their team. Their poor
showing is largely attributed to the
fact that the Americans had better
ponies, uenerai comment after the match
was : - ' .-':" -. '
"If Mr. Milburn was sick today, how
would he play if he were felling .well?
He is a marvel." ,
