death of one our brethren is
borne out by the fact of his ar
rival time in Kansas City and
his absence from all strategy
meetings of either side. DR..
Kings Chrictian character is un-
impeachable, his integrity is un-
tarnished, and his leadership un-
questioned.
Whatever may be our differ
ences within the denomination
this uncalled for and provoked
attack (credited to you) upon
one of the greatest men of our
time, will only serve the pur-
pose of the segregation forces
in America who are determined
to suppress the Negro Com
munity all over the nation. If
this character-assassination is
not righted, it will be disser-
vice to the Baptists, the Chris
tian family, to the Negro COM
munity in America and to God.
We who were in Kansas City
know full well that the facts do
not support the quotations by
you reported in the press. We
do pray that you will Immediate
ly tight this grievous, wrong
that has been done by public
repudiaton of what may have
been erroneous reporting by
your statement.

fleet the increasing capital needs
of farmers. The average invest
ment per farm has increased
seven-fold in the past 2 years,
from s6.094 in 1910 to S41,923
in 1861.
There are a number of indica-
tions that farmers are in a
tighter cash position and are
having more difficulty financing
their operations. The bank de-
posits, currency and United
States Savings Bonds. owned by
farmers declined during 1860
for the second consecutive year.
Estimates place the total of
these assets at $13.3 billion on
January 1, 1861, a decrease of
$500 million from a year earlier.
Farmer expenditures for motor
vehicles and farm machinery
dropped $475 million in 1860.
Nearly 100000 fewer farmers
had checking accounts early in
1861 compared to the previous
year. In addition, the montreal
estate loans held by banks and
Federally sponsored agencies,
which represent about two-thirds
of the total montreal estate debt,
increased only a percent in 1860
compared with almost 16 per-
cent during 1859. The proportion
of farm mortgage loans used to
refinance existing debts increas-
ed. The demand on a national
basis for Farmers Home Admin
stration loans rose sharply and
the volume of loans made by
this agency that serves only
farmers unable to obtain credit
elsewhere increased from 5000
million in fiscal 1860 to an all
time high of 1896 million in fis-
cal 1861.

"Never in the history Of the
Farmers Home Administration
has there been such an overall
upgrading of the supervised
agricultural credit service"
State Director Fatherree point
ed out. "This will give the
thousands of farmers whose
equities have been wiped out by
the low returns of recent years
an opportunity to obtain needed
financing. The credit improve
ments will also mean much to
those rural communities that
are fighting to regain their eco
nomic strength through the
Rural Areas Development Pro-
gram. Farmers in those COM
munties will have greater access
to development and adjustment
loans, rural residents will have
access to credit for housing and
