FARMS OFFER CHANCE FOR CITY JOBLESS| County Agent Says Those Willing to Work dnd Take Advice Can Make Living. By the Associated Press. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., November 24.— The jobless city man who is willing to work hard and take advice, has, in the opinion of C. C. Keller, Greene County farm agent, a chance to make a living for himself and family, even in these times, by going back to the farm. Keller said he would not advise the | distressed city man to buy farm land at this time unless he found an “out- aundlng bargain on the easiest kinds of rims.” “The best chance in the world for a man -to-get & new start and to earn a living for his family is offered by farmers who need dependable help,” Keller said. He sald he knows such situations are waiting for “conscientious men,” because he has re- ceived many inquiries from farmers for such aid. He said he had not been able, for the most part, to find capable men who will take the farm places offered h his office. “If a man can tie up with a farm owner,” he sald, “who will furnish him with' some kind of a house, give him garden space. milk for his family and either a share in the crops or small cash wages for his work, t is about the best possible arrangement for him.” PRESIDENCY UNCERTAIN Alessandri Delays Acceptance of " Chilean Office.
