Federation Head AsSaiIs
indifference of Both
Parties, Congress.

By United Press
OTTUMWA, Ia, July 4.-Edward
A. O'Neal, president of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation, today
charged congress and the national
political conventions with showing
a "calloused and even defiant in
difference to the welfare of agricul-
ture."
Speaking at a Fourth of July cele-
bration, ONeal called for 10000
agriculturists to band themselves
in a militant group to restore agri-
cultural stability ana the nations
prosperity.
Greedy financial and industrial
interests O'Neal said, control the
lions share of the national income,
and have forgotten that farmers
have been the chef factor in ma
tional development
"While the platforms of both the
Democratic and Republican parties
contain some of the suggestions Of
the organized farmers, the Demo-
cratic platform is a bit more def
mite. But I reserve further comment
until the platforms are interpreted
by the nominees"
O'Neal said that pledges of re-
stored equality to agriculture made
four years ago by both major parties
had been unredeemed.
1.-The inequality of agriculture is
far worse than in 1928. Then agri-
cultures purchasing power was only
10 per cent below the normal point, :"
he said. To-day it is so per cent
below that parity"
