Press Comment Hotter ' Hack Hoover Wheat touches figures below pre-wnr prices. It dropped to 83 cents Wednesday at Chicago and 7(! at Kansas City. In 1913 It was 92 at Minneapolis. The drop In wheat Is in spite of the ,effortu of Hoover'farm re lief. A charge is made that the grain dealers' organizations are conspiring to beat down the price. Declaring that private interests are fomenting opposition to the farm relief act because It has cut Into their business by working better than they expected. Hugh J. Hughes, education director of tho Minnesota Cooperative Mar keting association, urges farmers of the ccuntry to give the plan n fair trial. He made. In effect, these statements: Farmers who have used the marketing machinery set up by the plan have already derived largo benefits from it. while those who have not used It have no one to blame but themselves. The success of the act 19 up to the farmer himself. The govern ment cannot compel him to use the marketing machinery and as sistance available under the act, and the plan will not succeed un less ho docs use- them. S'Mable progress flap been made the past year, but setting up a terminal marketing facility as outlined tn the act la a long-time Joti. and at least ten years -will be required before it will operate smoothly. Most of those who denounce the plan are either private inter ests that are nfmid It will work too well, or polltioliiins who prom Irvd Immediate farm relief which render tjjls act nnr any other leg islation can provide.
