CHARGES ATTEMPT TO SUDOR DIN ATE FARMING TO INDUSTRY Hays, July 9 Clyde Reed of Kansas, in a speech prepared for delivery later today, challenged the whole attitude of the Hoover administration toward agriculture, charged the administration with attempting to subordinate agriculture to Industry and questioned the good faith of Alexander Legge, chairman of the farm board.

speech, a bitter denuncletlon of the policies, was to be made from the same platform on which Secretary of Agriculture Ar thur Hyde and Legge appealed to urge upon the Kansas farmers a re duction of their wheat acreage. Coming into the nation's greatest wheat producing state to preach their gospel, the government officials were met with an attack by the governor of that state, who took outspoken and direct issue with their whole platform. The governor attacked the farm board for offering reduction of acreage aa the only method to remedy the agricultural situation. He said the administration was denying the farmer a square deal as regards foreign trade. In the past, he said, agriculture had enjoyed about 40 per cent of the foreign trade which President Hoover had helped build as secretary of commerce, adding: for the first time in the 141 years of our national existence, it is proposed to definitely subordinate agriculture to industry by asking it be restricted in its production to that amount necessary to supply those occupied in the industrial world." By inference, Reed changed that Legge, former head of the International Harvester company, was persuading American farmers to cut their acreage without producing an exportable surplus while implement manufacturers exported their machines to foreign growers who could raise wheat formerly supplied by this country.

"There is at present," the governor said, "no substantial over-production of wheat in the world, but there may be if the American manufacturer of agricultural implements can bring it about in order to create a market for his excess production. In order to meet the situation thus being created the American wheat farmer is asked to reduce the scope of his operations. "Assuming that a reduction in one or the other of these industries were desirable, would it be best for the country to have citizen on the wheat farm or in an agricultural implement factory; is it fair, and is it sound public policy to ask the wheat farmer to leave his land in order to permit an expansion of the agricultural imple ment trade in foreign countries so as to enable them to better compete with the American wheat farmer. In the morning progiam. Secretary Hyde expounded the principles he and Legge had advanced in Nebraska and increasing wheat production abroad demanded the American farmer grow less wheat if he wanted a good price for it.
