Frank Jefers Appeals For
Credit to Prevent Fore
closures on Farms.

st. Paul, Dec 29.-Dr. J. e. Black.
farm economic expert OF, the agricul-
ture department of the University of
Minnesota today urged that the ex-
pansion of farming activities be
"staved off, until the demand for
products catches up with the supply.
DR.. Black appeared before the joint
congressional committee on short time
rural credits, which is today conclud-
ing hearing in the senate chamber
of the state capitol. Representative
Gilbert Haugen of Iowa presided.
If the farmers obtain $200,000,000
Of credit In Minnesota it might mean
further expansion and lower prices,
DR.. Black said, adding that the de-
flation Of the federal reserve system
undoubtedly had injured the farmer,
and warned against expansion In asri'
cultural lines. He criticized some
bankers for efforts to sell farmers
tractors and equipment through their
dealings with farm implement men.
!, Frank Jeffers of Red Lake Falls. a
farm bureau federation man urged
that some system of credit for farm
ers be established to relieve the pres.
ent stringent situation and to prevent
foreclosures on farm property.
Members of the congressional COM
mission will visit the Minnesota grain

 She succeeded in carrying off he pose successfully, too, until the day before sh e started home. Then on that day she overheard the color ed elevator boy talking to a man she had met. "So she am a widow?' he said.

Baca struck out ten men, but al lowed fifteen hits. mostly of the scratch variety. however. Reu- ter pitched steady ball and struck out twelve men.

 A great deal of the mis-judg- ing and fumbling of balls could not be charged as bad playing on the part of both teams. Tax en all in all it was an excellent game.
