Answers to the questionnaires ' have been coming in sinxe,the mid dle of December at the rate of 1,000 a day and show the major com plaints of the farmers, in numerical . order, to be: Cannot Obtain Labor. .

Commenting tonight on the re plies, Assistant Postmaster General Blakelee said: , "Such a condition at a time when the predominant cry is for produc tion and still more production can not but constiute a grave menace." This opinion was expressed by Mr. Blakelee, after a member of the Senate committee had remarked that the replies seemed to have come "mostly from a bunch of bolshe vists." "The time is very near," wrote a farmer at East Chatham, N. Yv "when we farmers will have to curtail pro duction and raise only what we need for our .wn use and let the other fellows look out for them selves. People are trying to get pay for what they don't earn." Oklahoma Rejects Lowden. ' Kingfisher, Qkla., Jan. 30.
