PATRONAGE TASK
TO REQUIRE YEAR
10000 Jobs Will Be Filled
Gradually, Farley Tells
House Democrats.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A year probably will be required to
replace Republicans with Democrats in
the patronage jobs of the Government,
Postmaster General Farley said last
night.
This statement followed a meeting
with some 300 House Democrats who
sought light on the plans to fill these
posts about 10000 in number.
At this meeting Farley. explained the
problems of handling the "deluge OF
applications" and assured his audience
that the jobs would be filled with de-
serving Democrats as rapidly as pos
sible.
Problems Explained.
With him was First Assistant Post
master General Joseph c. OMahoney
and Harlee Branch executive assist
ant, who also related problems con-
fronting the Post ONCE Department
on patronage matters.
After shaking hands with all the
Representatives, Farley held confer
ence with newspaper men.
We came here at the invitation OF
my old friend Joe Representative
Byrns of Tennessee. Democratic leader
and chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Congressional Committee), Far
ley said. I'VE addressed the gathering
and explained the problems of patron
age in our department and patronage
generally. After my talk no questions
were asked me. 1t was harmonious
meeting"
Filling Key Places First.
Farley explained that in handling
patronage he was trying to fill the
'key places" first and added that places
under the key appointees could not be
filled until the Senate confirmed the
key men" This had occasioned de-
lay, he said.
About $4,000 postmasters would have
to be filled eventually, he said, while
altogether there were probably 100000
jobs to be filled.
I'VE won't do it within two months
or six months" he said. It'll prob
ably take us year. We are as anxious
to get this load off of us as anybody" ,"

CROPS DELAY IS LAID
TO SPRINGS TIMIDITY
Season Is Most Backward in North
Central States Since 1926 and
1927, Says Analyst.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. May l2-The timidity OF
Spring was blamed today by Nat c,
Murray, veteran local crop analyst, for
a delay of at least nine days in planting
in every State of the Union except
North Carolina.
Murray said he compiled his figures
from Widespread weather data which
indicated that. SO far as the North Cen
tral States were concerned, there hadn't
been a Spring as backward as the pres
ent one since 1925 and 1927.
In the corn belt excessive rainfall has
taken about 2 per cent from the farm
ers' average chances" Of producing a
good crop. Murray declared. He based
hk calculations over a l0-year period.
However. Murray said, he was not
particularly worried. for in 1925 crops
were fair despite more prolonged
Spring delay in planting than has been
experienced so far this year.
Chicago has been rained on every day
this month except May 4 and in the
last Al days rain has fallen 80 days.

Treasury Silent on Action of Adviser Who Re-
 signed Yesterday

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Furth- CT Administration reactions were sought today as to the avowed intention of Dr. O. M. Sprague to help build up aroused organized public opinion" he said was neces- sary to keep Federal fiscal policies from bringing "unrestrained infla- tion."
 The search is rather difficult be- cause of a ruling by Henry Nor genthau, Jr., Acting Secretary of the Treasury, that all departmental information must pass through des- ignated channels, but it recalled Sprague's resignation yesterday. sub mitted informally to Presid c n t Thursday, and noted that no mo- ticeable change had been made since.
 Some said the stabilization urged by Sprague after the World Econ omic Conference would have tied the dollar to the pound and the Presidend refused this advice.
