WASHINGTON WP) The impending ; couid control the marketing of their
retirement of Chairman Alexander own products.
Legge and three other members of
the farm board subjects that organic
zatlon to its first change in person
nel and the first question of a change
in policy.
It means that exactly one-half of
that group called tgether less than
two years ago by President Hoover,
given $500,000,000 and charged with
rehabilitation of agricultural market
ing, must .be .placed or reappointed.
As for the chairman, his torm .ex
pired last June and he wants to get
baok -to -private business. Lcgge Is
not "r,unning out on the board," for
he had an agreement with the presi

that Jie could quit when the board's
affairs were in suitable shape.
C O. Teague, -representing fruits
and vegetables. Is another holdover.
He. -top, ;imd an understanding that
he could retire soon to hie pxtcnslve

The terms of Sum R. MrKelvie,

Schilling, representing dairy intercuts,

purchased a 4,000-acrc ranch in Ne

caused by retirement rather than
resignation, friends of tho board see
no indication that its policies are to

In Horse Market
In Wallowa Co.
By U. V. Aleck

WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) Some
activity in the liorse market haa been
noted In this section during recent
weefoy. A few cars of good -sized
hcrses have been bought and shipped
to ouUlde markets. While prices
which have been paid have not been
high, it haa given farmers and oth
ers who have been greatly overstocked
vlth horses for the past several years
an opportunity to dispose of some
oi them at a fair figure. The last of
tho week a horse buyer was at En
terprise looking for a car or two of
medium -sized farm horses. Reports
from some who had talked with him
regarding prices Indicate that offere
for this class of horses were some
where around $60 or 870 per head.
Gecrge Wt Cherry, attorney of En
terprise, was at the Gaatin 6c Cusslns
furm the early part of the week on
business connected with appraising
tho estate of the late James B. Gas
tin. Giles Plass. C. A. Hunter and
R. J. Conner were also there actlne
as appraisers.
A dance was given at the J. D.
Slaughter home on Tarsnip creek Sat
urday night. A fairly large crowd of
peoplo from the surrounding com
munity attended,, all . reporting . a
pleasant evening.
J. H. Peaglns, of -Leap, was a busi
ness visitor In the upper part of the
vaney me -latter part of the week, i
While there he attended the H. B. i
Davldhizer sale held Thursday Feb. I
26. He reported an exceptionally I
large crowd attending and that a!
large part of the livestock and ma- !
chinery sold at very good figures. !
Many of the milk cows are said to 1
havo brought from $70 to near $100 j
each with horses, sheep and bogs j
all going at very good prices. . j
Elmer Bouthwlck, rural carrier on ,
route one out of here. Is now using
n team and buggy In making his dally
trips. 'He found It possible to use
his car nearly every day during the
winter, up until close to the first
of March. However,, with muddy roads,
ho expects to havo to use his team
for the next mouth nt least.
