To enable the farmers to obtain a profit from the present harvest, Senator Capper will aslt President Hoover to have tho Grain Stabilisation Corporation purchase 100 million bushels immediately and withhold it from tho market. Meanwhile, the Congressional elections are approaching. The Democrats are pointing towards the alleged ineffectiveness of President Hoover's farm relief jiolicies, asserting that "ten years' trial of Republican prosperity" is enough. j
