Washington, Jan. 26.—Extension to the farmers of the country of tlie rime credit facilities now afforded other business was advocated by Sena tor Smith, democrat, South Carolina, during further debate on the Lcnroot Anderson ruml credit bill. Senator Smith raid be could under stand the hesitancy of congress to put the farmers on tlie same plane as regards credit facilities as com more* and industry generally, and ad viced against legislation for credit ex tcnsi »n which would be nothing but a •'chip” as compared to what the farmers should be given. He urged amendment of the federal reserve act to extend the eligibility for rediscount ! of agricultural paper from six to 12 months instead of from six to uin i months, as provided ir the Capper rural credit bill and in the I^enroo*. Anderson measure.
