PLEADING FOR FARMERS,
Washington, October 7?Congressman
James P. Richards announced today,
after conferences with officials ofthe
Farm Security Administration, the
Farm Credit Administration and the
Work Projects Administration in behalf
of the farmers of South Carolina
hard hit by the short crop, that he
had been assured that serious consideration
was being given the problem
by these agencies taad- that all relief
possible would be forthcoming. Mr.
Richards urged that fupds be allocated
by the WPA for farmers relief projects
and the further extension of
credit to needy farmers by the Farm
Credit Administration and the Farm
Security Administration, The congressman
asserted that "due to the
fact that we will only have one-fourth
or one-flfth of a cotton crop this year
it is going to be practically impossible
for tbe farmer to meet his obligations,
particularly in view of the high price
he must pay now for the things he
must buy."
