LONDON, Aug. 14 (UP)—Germany hurled a reported 300 planes in a

airmen struck deep and hard at German and Italian objectives. *

The first raid was carried out by an estimated 200 German planes.
Strong forces of British fighters lay in wait for the attackers and drove
off most of the bombers. A terrific dogfight followed in which nine
Germans were said to have been Shot down.
The first raid was followed quickly by report after report of the
arrival of new German attackers, hitting hard again after a morning-
long lull in which aerial activity over Britain was at a standstill for the
first time since mass raids started Sunday.
Today's southeast coast attack was directed in part against the
famous British balloon barrage but observers said they were unable to
note any important damage. • —'

The difficulty the legisitors find is to devise a
punishment that will affect the agricultural com-
missioner without harming the farmers.
Appropriations for his department are pretty sure
to undergo a close scrutiny but any paring has to
be done in a way that will not cause the blow to fall
on the people the department is maintained to

favored method.
Such a transfer has been urged repeatedly in the
past. The success of the experiment farms operat-
ed by the extension service of the college has
prompted the suggestion heretofore. The proposals
