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. I

OLD AOK
Robert Browning's romantic ges
ture, "Grow old along with mo, the
best Is yet to be," is taken by most
men as merely a sop to tho Inevit
able. 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.
Theso findings validate the old
saw that man Is as old as his ar

Oh I Why does death
Denl such a blow
In such a way?
We do not know.
The monster Death
Not one can miss;
God so designed
To take our breath.
Let's be prepared
To meet the end
In praise and love
Of Him who spared
Us from our tins
If we would walk
The narrow path
With Ood in love.
