In addition, to furnishing this In formation, members of the soils de partment have been spending muoh time In field work. Soil and farm maps are being prepared by K. p. Torgerson and M. R.

Corporation Sought in Portland! Seven Per Cent Less Wool Will Be Shorn in 1932 The amount of wool shorn or to be shorn In 1032 in the United States Is 342,580,000 pounds, according to the preliminary estimates of the United States department of agriculture. This is aoouc hy.uuu.wju pounds or 7.3 per cent smaller than the 369,477,000 pounds shorn In 1031. The decrease in wool production this year from last Is due to the lighter weight of fleeces In most states, but most marked in the western sheep states and the Bmaller number of sheep shorn this year in tne western states. The number of stock sheep In the west ern sheep states on January 1, 1032 was estimated at 34,416,000 head which was 200,000 head larger than the number on January 1, 1031. The estimated number of sheep shorn or to bo shorn this year, however, is only 31,760,000 head, a. decrease of 1,507,000 head from the number PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 8 W) A request that a regional agricultural credit corporation be established In Portland with a paid up capital of 95,000,000 has been forwarded to the reconstruction finance corporation by a group of Portland business men. Provisions for such corporations are made in the emergency relief and construction act, and loans to farm ers and stockmen for agricultural purposes are provided for. Tho rediscount privileges to which such a corporation would be entitled, those sponsoring the move said, would make possible the financing of farm and livestock operators tn Mon tana, Idaho. Washington and Oregon, all these states being Included in the twelfth federal land bank district. Among those sponsoring the pro-1 posal are J. C. A Ins worth, chairman of the board, United States National ' bank; Kenneth D. Dawson, president States Steamship company; Donald J. Sterling, managing editor. Oregon Journal; Paul S, Dick, president, ; United States National bank; O. F. Adams, chairman of board, First Na tional bank; E, B. MacNaughton, 1 president, First National bank, and W. B. D. Dodson, manager, Portland chamber of commerce. They expect that If a unit with an Initial capital of $5,000,000 is allo cated to Portland, discounts probably will be confined to a sum- equal to six times the capital of the corpora--' tion, making available a fund of; $35,oqO,000 to agricultural and stock-i men of the four states.

Physicians and lay persons alike havo been interested In discovering tho secret of long llfo. Philosophers and alchemists havo sought for the unknown antidote to ago and se nility, More recently, theso pursuits have been subjected to the techniques of science, and, withal, the net result has been little. In the United states registration area between 1023 and 1027, there wcro out of a total of nearly 6,000.- 000 deaths, 85,000 recorded as of per sons 00 or more years of age at the ttmo of their death. Though this Is a statlstocal sam ple of respectable size. Its funda mental value is limited. Far too many of these "aged" persons lacked dependable birth certificates, their ages being in many instances fictitious. ' An Inquiry, however, was made ; on os many or theso aged persons os wcro apparently authentic, as to the causes or their death, with particu lar attention to tho body systems, tho failure or which terminated the Individual's existence. This Inquiry revealed that the cir culatory system more often than any other part of tho body sets the upper limit or the human llfo span. Tho report states, "The general conclusion Is that If this upper limit Is ever to be materially extended, it will bo necessary for man to acquire a circulatory system organically su perior to the one he now has." Of course, the other side of the proposition, and one that must strike tho reader. Is that a more likely solution lies In the reduction of the strains -to which the ctrcula-j tory system Is subjected.
