Senate Banking and Currency Committee hears Secretary Wallace. Washington, D.C., June 7. Secretary of Agriculture, Henry Wallace, today told the Senate Banking and Currency Committee that he approved the bill to revamp the Farm Credit System because farmers need relief from 'excessive interest charges and debts which they cannot pay. In addition,' he said, '60 percent of all the National Farm Loan Associations have had their capitol so impaired that they cannot make new loans. Beyond question there is room for improvement in both the general farm credit situation and the Federal Land Bank System'

Lady claims one seventh of property of U.S. Post office--posts her part. Washington, D.C., July 22. Mrs. Samuel A. Wimsatt who says that one seventh of the property upon which a postoffice was built at Rockville, MD., near here, is still hers because it was not legally bought from her. This morning she appeared at the scene upon which a dedication was scheduled and began posting 'No Trespassing' signs upon the part of the land which she claims. She threatened to have any trespassers locked up. Part of the ceremonies was to be a tour of inspection of the building, and when the time came, no arrests were made, although Mrs. Wimsatt began writing names upon the back of a 'No Trespassing' sign and threatens action Monday morning against visitors to the building. On the sidewalk behind her is her sister, Mrs. Claude Tschiffely who aided her in posting the signs, 7/22/39

Agricultural day laborer wiping the sweat from his neck after his return home from chopping cotton.This man had once been a tenant farmer and had quit farming because of repeated crop failures and inability to secure good farming land; he then became a day laborer, his entire family working with him in the fields. They chopped cotton, hoed corn, picked cotton, cut spinach and picked up potatoes. However, because they had this established tent home on the banks of the Arkansas River and because they worked in and around this neighborhood, they considered themselves a class above the migrant workers who came in to harvest the crops. This man had planted a small garden back of his tent not for the value of the garden since he said that the sun would get it before the vegetables were mature, but because it would prevent any of the migrant families from camping near them. He said, "Those migrants don't live the way we do, course they don't have anything to live with." Near Webbers Falls, Oklahoma
