First tenant to buy a farm under Bankhead Jones act
Wiley J. Langley, neighbor of Senator Bankhead, pictured with kindling wood, is announced as the first tenant to buy a farm with government funds under the Bankhead Jones farm tenant bill. The Farm Security Administration says Senator Lester Hill will present Langley a memo for 3800 dollars at a ceremony on the Bankhead farm February 12. The act aims to aid 15,000 farmers annually in purchasing farms.
