CONGRESS URGED TO TAKE ACTION Washington, April 20.?Congress was urged in a resolution adopted today by the National Farmers' union in convention here to appoint a Joint commission to determine what is wrong with agriculture" and to enact legislation to "correct the discovered and established evils." "The farmers have' been branded as profiteers," the resolution said, "and Jiave been accused of taking or threatening measures which would result in a dangerously diminished quantity of available products," add^ ing that the country was entitled to know the facts and that congress was the only agency equipped "to ascertain the truth." On the other hand it charged that the farmers had been discriminated against in the matters of credit and transportation and that they had been forced to sell their products below the cost of production while residents of the cities had been compelled to pay "five or six times for their food the amount which the pro ducers obtained." ? i Agriculture stands In a "unique and strategic position," John Mc? Sparan, master of the Pennsylvania / 1 V ' State Grange, told the convention, '' with capital and labor on either4 side organized and looking ^.fter their own interests. The farmers, he added, should stand together. Calcutta is said to be the greatest rat exchange In the world, the rodents , finding-thelr way to and from that point In vessels.
