FARMERS IN PLEA FOR NEW FREEDOM Nation-Wide Demonstrations Held to Protest Against Present Conditions. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO. July 5.—American agri culture made its celebration of the 156th anniversary of the Nation's birth a protect against its adversities. A call to arm for a war of ballots In the farmers' cause was sounded in 10.000 communities where rural folk met at picnics of the American Farm Bureau Federation yesterday. In the corn land of Iowa rose the dominant note of this Nation-wide com munion of agrarians. President E. A. O'Neal of the Farm Bureau, addressing thousands of farm ers and many townspeople at Ottumwa, charged both major political parties with a "calloused and even defiant in difference to agriculture." Both parties, he declared, have failed to relieve the farmer and his answer ) should be a war of ballots against "greedy financial and industrial inter ests,'' who have "forgotten that the farmers have been the chief factor in national development." Farmers, he said, deplored failure of the major political conventions to dis cuss the great economic problems threatening the Nation at greater length and in more specific terms. His voice was echoed throughout the Nation by other leaders pleading that commemoration of the Nation's birth be made the occasion for fusion of farm interests that would bring a new economic freedom to farmland.
