BAPTIST WORK WilHam H. Robins, Th. D. Pastor The few months of. this pres ent pastorate has been a period of readustment and reclamation In the personnel and work of the First Baptist church.. Without undue reference to the hectic ex periences of! the church during the past few years. It is the ear nest conviction 'of this pastor that he has never worked with a more earnest,! faithful and de voted, yet heartbroken people. Slowly, however, there is being manifested a renewed vision of the possibilities 'of. a real spirit ual work of grace. : The past growth the depleted work of a year ago is a thing of the past. Every department is taking on new' life. There have been) many additions by, baptism, experience and letter. ; Others ar-awaiting baptism. ; There is evidenced at least a 25-percent Increase in Bible school and young peoples organizations.

Early. In the year the world's central banking authorities sens ing, a depression, of unusual se verity, adopted an. easy money policy designed to smooth, so far as possible, the path of business through the slump and to facil itate the eventual recovery of trade. In this program the fed eral reserve system took a lead ing part, .- ' More tpectacuUr than the suc cessive, reductions in central bank rediscount rates, however, was the enormous deflation In loans. Borrowings on securlUes which , had reached a total of roughly t$17,e0O.O0fl.O0O in October. 1929 dropped to 110.500,000.000, a cut of about 40 per cent.

Farmers to be Given Export Data in Way Manufacturers are Given Facts Legge Trying to Vork Out Systematic Arrangement Betvyeen Pro duction and Consumption; Until Then Stabilization Uncertain WASHINGTON (AP) ---Beckoning beyond the wilderness of economic maladjustment, a hew star of hope appeared In the farm er's firmament for 1930. j! : It waa the development, of machinery for applying business reg ulatory principles to agriculture. 1 Congress authorised expansion of the foreign service of the de partment of agriculture, and in the absence of immediate appropri ation the farm beard agreed to assist in financing the project through the fiscal Tear 1931. O The board Is directed by tb.3 agricultural marketing act to kep advised on and report con cerning- crop prices, experiences prospects, supply , and demand both at home and abroad. Secretary Hyde and Chairman Legge of the farm hoard repeat edly have insisted that agricul ture cannot hope for an economic parity with industry until it has applied Industry s system of 'eval uating future markets and pro ducing for them the quality and quantity of commodities they will absorb. : Fail are of the American farmer to regulate production to consumption in an era of in creasing world supplies! Is blamed by a large section; of farm thought for much of the current , market unrest. Heretofore Information about foreign crops and markets!! has been fragmentary and often in accurate. The department of agriculture s p:e n d s annually more than '2.000,000 on domes tic crop and liTestock estimating. on price analysis and on market news distribution. Similar work on foreign condl tions. which determine ) the amount and kind of American will consume, is considered necessary to supplement tfce do mestic information. h ' American farmers, says Sec retary - Hyde, cannot adjust their production InteUlgently to market requirements if they are In the dark about foreign , demand and foreign competi ! tion. ; "If 1 four bushels of wheat will bring as ranch as five, why pro duce the extra bushel?" has been the slogan of Chairman Legge's administration of the farm! board. Other important cogs in the machine by which ft Is hoped agriculture may adopt industry's careful analysis of Its ' market possibilities are the world i census of agriculture and the ' domestic agricultural census taken in connection with the 1930 census of population. l.i The forpier. will afford!' much Important basic Information for world crop reporting in Its ca capacity as the first universal In ventory of land areas, crop acre ages, harvest yields, the number and kinds of livestock in various countries, the amount of mechan ical and power equipment; used and the amount of human labor available for agriculture, ij The domestic census, in ad dition to ! giving particulars bout crops, livestock, j land- tions and similar items, will go into detail about, farm incomes, expenditures for operating, equipment, taxes, farm xnech anlzatiori, soil erosion i and movement of farm population. ' Economic parity with Industry was sought for agriculture 'in the increased schedules of the 1930 tariff act, and while! Secretary Hyde saya the act gave the indi vidual farmer a net advantage of 1104, organized agriculture! in sists that i parity failed to! obtain. A considerable group demands enactment of an export i deben ture In 1931 "to make the Amer- loans to - brokers, an . Important Item, tobogganed almost! stead ily after the year's peak. $4, S70.000.000,. had been , reached In April, and went to a record low nearly 70 per cent under the all-time" high of $0,804,000,000 early In' October, 1029. j ' -I All these developments were of a favorable nature, since they Indicated that speculative,! credit had' been reduced to abnormal proportions. But the billion dol lar drop in commercial .loan's of reporting federal ' reserve mem ber .banks, -which comprise 40 per cent of the country's i bank ing institutions, told the less pleasing story of slackening bus iness activity. I i : "World 1 interest rates tfecHBeii sharply during the year, j but no where were the reductions mare noticeable than In New York Call money on the - stock mrl change sagged from Its official cent to January high of t per ltt per cent In June. GOVERNMENT CENTERS ii lean farm tariff effective. r arm leaders in government service protest the debenture as impracticable and conducive to foreign retaliation. In lieu they suggest cooperative farm market ing and reduction of surplus crop acreage. A far-reaching program for ad justment or supply and demand figures prominently in next year's activities of federal, state and local agricultural agencies ana agricultural colleges. They are to disseminate among farmers the economic informa tion from domestic and foreign fields and show how it may be applied In the business conduct of agriculture. Dovetailing with the govern ment's machinery for introduc tion industry's tactics to agri culture, the farm board seeks to eliminate cutthroat compe tition between farmers and farm organizations by group ing them into great national commodity marketing units.

Two other cen tral organisations, the National Bean Marketing association and the National Beat Growers asso ciation, are working toward large memberships. Permanence In the adjust ment of persons to their, occu pations Is sought In agricul ture as much a in industry. A decrease of 16 per cent in the aggregate gross income of agriculture this year as I com pared with 1929 and the devital izing influence of the most! ser ious drought in American history together with current world-wide depression again may spur the movement of population from the farm to the city. This movement until lasi rsar had begun to! slow down after the record exodus of 1926.
