Agricultural data hint at New Deal optimism in 1936 sweepstakes
Washington May 11 Agricultural Department statisticians found farm income increased in many states from 1934 to 1935 aiding Democratic hopes for re election.

It argues higher dollar income may not guarantee victory and cites debate among economists over price policies as Roosevelt supporters and opponents assess re election prospects.
