AGRICULTURE AIDS HOOVER STABLE PLAN Representatives of Many Organizations Confer with President LOWER RATES OF INTEREST WANTED Leaders Also Demand Im- mediate Extension of U.S. Road Program /ASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—Repre- sentatives of the national agricul- tural organizations pledged their support to President Hoover's stab- ilization program and in turn de- manded the farmers receive lower interest rates from the Government credit agencies. The matter of interest rates took | up two hours of plain talk by lead- ers of the National Grange, Farm- ers’ Union, Farm Bureau Federa- tion and armers’ Equity Union with the President. The conferees voiced satisfaction with the outcome but whether they won their points was left to be ex- pressed in a statement subsequent- ly issued at the White House and is still entirely in realm of conjec- ture. Secretary of Agriculture Hyde said: “We felt that concerted ac- tion by the credit agencies of the Government is now possible; that such’ action will reflect back to ag- riculture and a lower interest rate will follow.” ‘The agricultural leaders’ demand was immediate extension of a road program “with special emphasis on “farm to market” roads. - e e — CAPT.

Jim York, formerly guard at the jail was assigned as Deputy Marshal in charge of the crew and work, it was announced by United States Marshal Albert White. The experiment is in line with and part of the general policy of |the Federal authorities throughout the country, it was made known by Gov. George A. Parks. It was suggested to him by Attorney Gen- jeral William Mitchell. No Labor Competition no labor from this source would be performed in road maintenance or jon any project for which funds were available, and also, such labor would be purely volun- itary. Work will be done only on projects for which no funds are |now available and will not be in |the immediate future. For the present, work will be |limited to the Perseverance Road, from where the cutoff leads to the Alaska Juneau boarding house to Perseverance. This is a foot trail since its abandonment several years ago. It has been dropped from the list of approved projects and’ {no funds can be allotted to it.
