SURVEY SHOWS TREND Concern Over Labor Famine Prices Told In Answer To tionaires Sent Out By Post office Department. and Washington.—Indication of a wide spread spirit of unrest among farm ers of the country, so threatening as likely to disturb the existing econom ic structure, is considered by govern ment officials to be revealed in 40, 000 replies to a questionnaire recent, ly sent out by the Postoffice depart ment. The replies, as thus far digested, were summarized in a report prepared by George L. Wood, superintendent of the Postoffice department's division of rural njajls, and read to the Senate Postoffice committee by James 1. Blak slee, fourth assistant postmaster gen* eral. The views of the 40,000 farmers were obtained fcy^ the broadcatiting of 200,000 copies of the questionnaire throughout the agricultural states, nRking for suggestions whereby the Postoffice department might aid iu cutting down the cost of living. Answers to the questionnaires have been coming in since the middle of December at the rate of 1,000 a day, and while a small percentage of them are from wpll satisfied fanners having no suggestions to p)ake, the great pro? portion as summarized by Qffjciajs, show the major complaints of the farmers in numerical order to be: Inability to obtain labor to work |he farms, hired help, and th^ farmers' children having been lured to the city by higher wages and easier living. High profits taken by middlemen for the mere handling of food prod ucts, and Lack of proper agencies of eontact between the farmer and the ultimate consumer. Many of MM replies, one official who had looked over them said, probably Hti many of 50 per cent, indicate that the wrjlel's contemplate either leaving their farm* or curtailing acreage un der cultivation, because of one qr more of the three major grievance^ and because of the growing feeling against non-producing city dwellers. Commenting flat the replies, figf. 3)akslee said: "Such a con&Mon at such a tl*ne *v)hen the predominant cry is for pro duction and still more production can? pot but len&Mtute a grave menace."
