He iHdJOI HeeuS Ol CHeoe young
farmers, NPA's agriculture commit
tee says, are for more adequate in
termediate credit-rather than just
short-term or mortgage credit-and
for better training in management of
farms. The Committee therefore urges
that private banks and public lend
ing agencies redirect their lending
activities by giving more attention
to these young families. 1t also recon-
mends that private and public farm
advisory services provide more eff
fective educational assistance in man
agement techniques to beginning
farmers, with emphasis placed on
self-help.
The recommendations of the com
mittee-signed by 20 farmers, lead
ers of farm organizations, university
professors, and agricultural writer's
are based on an accompanying report,
beginning Farmers-A Vulnerable
Group in American Agriculture, pre-
pared by committee member Robert
X. Buck, farmer of Waukee, Iowa.
Mr.. Buck briefly summarizes what has
been discovered in his own and va
rious other surveys about the needs
of beginning farmers, the good and
bad qualities of their present sources
of credit and educational assistance,
and problems which require immedi-
ate policy changes or further study.
Warning that the nation cannot
dismiss the problems of beginning
farmers by a survival of the fit
approach, Mr.. Buck says: "The eff
fectiveness with which young farm
ers get their farming operations
shored up in the next few years
will have a great bearing on their
own long-run productivity and ef-
ficiency, and on the soundness of
American agriculture in future
years. 1t will determine to a con-
siderable degree the level of living
of their families. And it will set
the limits of their demand for the
ever-increasing goods and services
of American industry and labor"
The urgency of new programs for
this vulnerable group is indicated by
the rough estimate that one million
young families have started farming
in the United States since 1945.
Many of these have made their starts,
Mr.. Buck points out, when "invest
mentS in mower machinery and live
stock were at inflated prices; farm
operating and family-living costs
were constantly increasing; and re-
quirements for managerial skills were
rapidly. Many have bor-
rowed heavily for capital goods at
five to seven per cent interest, with
loans to be repaid or renewed in no
more than twelve months. The credit
position for many is especially weak
because their assets have deprecated
in value The established farmer

farm income and higher costs, hav-
ing paid off debts, accumulated re-
serves, and expanded his business to
an economic basis while riding up
The profitable war and immediate
postwar years. Many newly estab-
ished farmers, however, can only
axe a one-way ride"

Buck believes that everyone who may

NEW YORK, Feb. Jimmy
Dykes took look at the Baltl-
more situation today, pulled
away on his always-present
cigar and predicted, We're
gonna move up there"
The affable manager of the
newest American League entry
claims he's inherited a good"
club from the st. Louis Browns,
one which will improve partly
because of fan support.
These players didn't want to
put out when they were the
Browns" he said. Every time
a guy struck out or popped UP
they we're booed all the way to
the dugout by the few fans who
were there.
Nov they'll have an incentive.
Look what happened in Milwau-
kee. They finished in second
place and fooled a lot of peo-
Pile. We're gonna surprise some,
too"
According to Dykes the Oriole
players are just as enthusiastic
as he is.
I've talked with Vic Wertz,
Bobby Young, Johnny Groth,
Dick KryhoSki and a few others
and they're all rarin' to go.
They're gonna hustle for me and
for the fans"
The Browns finished in the
cellar last season, 461a games
behind the champion Yankees.
But even that doesn't temper
Dykes optimism. Except for
the pitching, the club is set, he
said.

Golden Gloves Card
To Feature Battle Of
7 Marines Tomorrow

One of the fighters who
already has attracted attention
in the Golden Gloves boxing
tournament, and is coming back
for more action tomorrow night
at Turner's Arena is Light
Heavyweight Raymond Lanham
from the Marine Barracks at
Indian Head. Md.
He was one of the winners in
the novice section on the OPEN
ing night two weeks ago, and
tomorrow night is matched
against another Marine. Donald
Franks of Quantico. 1t will be
Franks first appearance in the
tourney.
Lanham showed himself as
tough as Marines are supposed
to be in his first bout. Matched
against Jimmy SimmS of the
Southwest Police Club, he just
waded in and traded punches all
the way while en- route to a
unanimous decision. Lanham
didn't bother with defense, but
allowed SimmS to bounce
punches off his chin. The bar
rage didn't bother or slow Lam
ham one bit. and Simms was
visibly discouraged that his best
shots had so little effect.
Tomorrow nights program
lists 10 bouts, IL in the novice
division In addition to Lanham,
first-night winners who will be
