SUPPORT FOR FsA PROGRAMS

The one further appeal we should like to make to every
Southern Congressman aud Senator Is this
Under no circumstances should you abandon the great
start which has been made 10 help the south's farm tenant
population through fnuE activities now conducted by the
farm Security ADMINISTRATION the Tenant Purchase Pro
gram. ~ the Rural Rehabilitation Program. Cl che Medical
Aid Program. and q cooperation IN marketing and using
improved machinery and equipment ete.
Row If rs true that mistakes have been made ~ handling
these OF other FSA activities then let these mistakes be elm
mated. Il II ~ true that some FSA officials have proved
themselves incapable Of s0undlN administering these settVi-
ties. then let us have officials vino viii administer them
s0undly. But VA any case II rs imperative that the Farm Sc
cuFty Administration be maintained As q separate and inde-
pendent organization Why Because such agencies As the
Extension Service or Farm Credit Administration have long
spent most 81 their time serving and working with our rela-
lively beitsr-on farmers and they cannot quickly and
effectively D. constantly changing over the proper attitudes
and fechnlunes for effectively serving oar underpr8viedaed
tenant groups Furthermore, even If this could be done, the
nations tenant problem IS stupcndous enough to Justify an
agency whose personnel vii have nothing else on their minds

The San Francisco Seals meet

league Presidents Cup finals, Jack
Macdonald, Seals spokesman, an
nounced last night.
The Seals clinched their right
to play in the finals when they won
their fourth straight victory over
the Portland Beavers yesterday 6-5.
Starting pitchers, Macdonald said,
will probably be Joe Demoran for
Seattle, and Bob Joyce for the
Seals. Seattle won its place in the
finals by four consecutive wins
over Los Angeles.
The teams, seeking the cham
pionship cup and $4,000, will play
single games Thursday, Friday and

Monday. The loser of the scheduled
seven-game series will receive $2,-

SPORTS PARADE

lowest second-place figures were
registered in 1914 and 1915. In Al,
the Boston Braves-who were In
last place on July 19-made the
most amazing surge in baseball
history and won the pennant. The
New York Giants came second,
with an average of only .545. The
following season, 1915, the Phillies
took the flag, and runner-up Boston
had a mark of .546.
Brooklyn now has won 76 and
lost 64 games, for its .543. The
Dodgers unquestionably would have
a much better mark had Whit
Wyatt pitched up to expectations
during the first half of the season,
and had youngsters Olmo and
Schultz joined the club earlier.
Cincinnati was handicapped some
by Bucky Walters leg trouble and
by weak hitting. The Pirates felt
the lack of an adequate Shorstop;
meanwhile Vince DiMaggio was
their only consistently hitting out
fielder.
Cincinnati and Pittsburgh play
the rest of the season at their
home fields, while the Dodgers trav-
ell through the west. This situation
may prove disadvantageous to the
Dodgers.
