HURDLING THE BARRIER

America is moving aggressively to
hurdle the hump of the recession
The significant conferences between
President Roosevelt and so of the ma
tion's leading industrialists during the
past few weeks gave welcome tesrl-
nony to that. These meetings helped
leanse the air Of some of the sulph-
UTous fumes which have created fear,
distrust, and jittery nerves. Though
such round-table parleys cannot be
expected to produce woodworking
miracles, nor quickly Danish long
standing grudges. they can do much
good. As long as leaders of business
and government are able to park
their respective axes in the cloak
room and sit down for face-to-face
discussion Of their respective pro-
grams, then democratic procedure is
in healthy fettle and sturdy enough
to hurdle any recession Is hump.

SPRING CROP LOANS ARB
AVAILABLE THIS WEEK

The farm credit administration an
nounces that emergency loans will b
available starting this week to finan-
cially distressed farmers for planting
spring crops and for feeding their
live stock through the growing set
son.
The loans, authorized by congress
from $34,000,000 balance Of
similar loan appropriation last year,
will be limited as in the past to farm
ers unable to obtain credit elsewhere.
The maximum loan per farper will be
$4OO. Interest rate will be four per
cent year.
Officials said demands for loans
were expected to be heaviest in the
western plains region, where drought
conditions kept many farmers from
producing sufficient crops last year
to finance operations this year.
Farm credit loans will supplement
financial assistance to be granted
many distressed farmers by the secur-
ity administration, which indicated
last week it may appeal to congress for
an emergency appropriation of $685.
100000 to help growers in the mid
west.

damage to the winter wheat crop in
Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colora-
do and the Texas panhandle has In
creased the number of growers need
ing aid, officials said.
The loans will be made, a. In form
or years, under supervision Of regional
emergency crop loan offices. Cities
where the offices are located include
