Fear Rules Biz Farmers

Back at the restaurant, after I'd taken the poll, I had an interesting conversation with four men seated in Q booth. Two of them were large- scale farmers, one was Q business man and the fourth Q salesman from out of the state. one was c little uncertain how he'd vote this year but tho other said they would 60 for Landon.
 An intelligent looking farmer, around 70 years old, did most of the talking. Ho said: T operate Q thousand acres of land and I re- ceived $4,000 In AAA beneflts-but I didn't believe in 1t. It was like finding money in the street-some- body else's money. I tell you this wild spending is ell wrong, And this relief and WpA Is crazy. And I don't like the way we are drifting. Say, first thing we know we'll have Q government that will be half 30. cialistic and half dictatorship. But for oil that, Q lot of the farmers here are going to vote for Roosevelt, I imagine Roosevelt will carry Iowa."
 The three others agreed. But they ell added that Roosevelt was constantly losing ground In Iowa.

Luxuriating on Relief

Those among them who are still independent and can pay their bills are bitter against tho administra- ton, and Roosevelt personally, for the way relief has been handled and billions expended. To middle.class people in cities the whole business of relief Is more or less removed and impersonal. Here in these small towns it Is within the range of their eyes and ears. And many of them have become SO skeptical about It's worth that they will vote against Roosevelt.
 But counter.balancing them are the hundreds of thousands who are themselves either on direct relief or on WPA work. Most of them will vote for Roosevelt. And their numbers are legion. These small towns, with their broad end neat Main streets and their pleasant homes that casual vlsl- tors so admire, have another side to them. Over beyond the rail. road tracks" you find the dirt lanes with their unpainted shan ties--the homes of the true for. gotten men. Many of these fam- flies are today living better than they ever have before. The 9AB c month they receive from their WpA jobs counts up fer more ct the end of the year than the sum of their former casual earnings ln harvest of corn, blowing time or the total of their odd-job work.
 Time and again farmers have complained to me because no longer can they drive to town end pick up 6 man or two who will help them out with emergency blowing or harvesting-long, hot days of grueliing toll that for years they paid for at the rate oi 9i.S0 to @ per day.
