Washington, Monday. Declaring that unless Congress takes quick action, 1000 farmers in every state will be evicted from their homes through foreclosure, Representative Kleberg, of Texas, to-day introduced joint legislation urging the Government to issue a proclamation requesting the State Congress to defer foreclosure proceedings until Congress in legislature can pass mitigating legislation. It is generally believed that the legislation has a chance of adoption. As an example of the. seriousness of the situation, Mr. Kleberg eited Texas, where he says 43 per cent, of the owner-operative. farms are at present mortgaged for more than 500,000,000 dollars. All the principal agricultural organisations endorse the legislation.
