WASHINGTON. Feb. 19?Back of
very basic commodity exist "move
iients which should give the country
;r?vest concern." Victor Murdock,
?hg.rman of the Federal Trade Com
ni!?s;on, to-day to.d the annual con?
firm?e of the National Board of Farm
Organizations.
Explaining to the delegates, repro?
ducing more than thirty agricultural
?odies, the work of the Federal Trade
Permission, Mr. Murdock said it was
Jie "economic eye" of tho government
X icertain thr facts -egarding thtse
)l(, enienU, thai ibo puLlic m ght be
-.ro'ected. The work of" the commis
;?or in the past has "been a.moat e e
;ier.t..ry," said Mr. Murdock, adding
?hiit t'-e commission was about to cm
jark on the study of "other and graver
mi) em-" atfvcbiug the na-.ion s busi?
ness. Further than that he did not
? at?rate his statement, which aroused
;i?b interest amon^ the de.egates,'in
?icw of rect-rt investis ti->ns into mea.
?jicking, coal mining and other pri
na.y industries.
A most the first act of the confer
?tc-' to-day waa to revive plans for an
? ''"""'"''s' c njress. A
Itmmittee was appointed to take the
.t> U, >.<... i-.siructions to
?CKinur.icnte at te earliest possible
loment with similar organizations in
'ortign countries. Other committees
rtri chosen to "asce-tain and report
>n the modus and present statu.-, o" the
pvistigation of the Federa1 Trade
'??mr. i.-sion." to icpoit on th- ou* o k
or importation or foro;;_-n fer'Tzers
and to examina into tho foreign ex
ci.ar.ge situation as it affect? American
trade. y
Not Content or Satisfied
Charlea S. Barrett, president of the '
National Farmers' Union, who presided
us chairman of the conference, said
ti.at while it wou'd be very p'easant to
be ab'e to ?ay that "al" is well with ag
rteu ture and in the farmer*? mind there
is no discontent, nothing 'eft to be de
.sired," the fact wrs that "the farmer is
not content or satisfied."
Answers to the recent questionnaire
sent out by the Postoftice Department,
he said, came nearer to revealing the
tiuth about agriculture than anything
thai h >s received euual publicity in the
city press.
1 e .eplies of the farmers" said
Barrett, "reveal deep dissatisfaction
with the treatment that has been nc
! c *rdcd agricu ture and resentment at
he wide spread of pri?es received by
he farmers and thore paid by con
I turners, a fee ing of insecurity in the |
Iiity o' far- ors to continu? to the i

o hold even t e farm boy. ard girls'
m the farms in competition wit'i the
?luing scale of wages offered in in?
dustry and ccmmc-ce off the farms."
he farmer and their wives in answer?
ing these questionnaires faithfully re
fl cted both a condition and a state of
mind which do not speak well for the
fu.ure eaher of agriculture or the en?
during p>-^s"ority of tvis nation.
Will Pool Their Efforts
"The farmers, at least the organised
farmers, iron, no.v on will pooi t..eir
efforts in exploring what in the past
has been forb.dden ground. They will
,.???,. t.pi?pj r?searc workers to in?
vestigate conditions affecting agricul?
ture. VV itn uained researcn publicity

I ue in potent i.i deu.ing witn tue quos
ons of marketing, distribution and
? ?. nance."
Senator Capper, of Kanas, and Rep?
resentative Anderson, of Minnesota, ad
rlsed the farmers to act as a unit in
| bringing th.ir needs po the attention of
? Congress.
Piact.ca'ly the entire membership
