FARMERS SPEAK TO BOTH PARTiES \ Chicago, May 12.?Recognition for farmers will be asked of the platform makers of each of the two great parties at their June convention by the representatives of the various farm organizations of the country. This action was decided on today at the closing ot the two aay meeting of the national board of farm organizations. According to Charles A. Leyman, ' national secretary of the board, it Was the general opinion of the delegates that the food producers never had received the' attention of either the Republican or Democratic parties to which they were entitled. It was their purpose, he said, to send representatives to the Chicago and San Francisco conventions with demands that they be recognized in the formation of party platforms and to throw the weight of their support at the November election to that party which gave the greatest consideration to the farmer in the party declaration of principles. The main points which farmers will insist on were outlined by H. D. Cooper of Little Falls, N. Y. They follow: Right of collective bargaining by agricultural interests as set forth in - the pending Capper-Hersman bill. Conservation of forests, with a view to keeping down the cost to consumers of print paper and lumber.
