IRE CREDIT Production Moneys for Cot- ,ton and Livestock Now ', ' Are Considered Drought Emphasizes Need; - Williams Makes His Report Today. By.EILA.NK L.WELLER ' ' WASHINGTON. Ant. . The possibility of . "production credit" for cotton and liTestock, through emerrency Interpretation of tbe agricultural marketing act drew the attention of investigat ors today as President Hoover and lla cabinet surveyed relief meas ures for drought-stricken areas of the country. , Fresh, reports of depleted feed and water and even human food supplies Indicated drought dam age, continuing unabated In al most all sections, might run high Into the millions of dollars. A report on avenues open to the farm board for getting pro duction credit Into the bands. of the farmer was to be made public tomorrow by Carl Williams, mem ber representing cotton. Funds to Feed Stock H'iH Be Talked Over William was expected to dls- cussln particular the possibility of providing funds to feed liTe stock through the national feeder and finance corporation, a subsi diary of national livestock market ing association. As the livestock set-un was In terpreted, the board would lend money to the marketing associa tion which in turn would lend it to the feeder and finance corpora tion for distribution to regional . credit associations operating in federal Intermediate credit bank districts. ' The federal money would be used to acquire the capital stock of ' the regional credit groups Which wonld be authorized to discount livestock paper at federal Inter mediate credit banks. The proceas would permit the pyramiding of $5,000,000 of farm board funds Into $50,000,C wt credit.' Most 'Of the cash loaned to farmers would eome from financial Institutions affiliated with the Intermediate banks. Stock to Be Used As Feed Collateral The effect of the plan if the board finds authority for It, would be to enable the farmer to put up his livestock as collateral and borrow money to bny feed. He would be obligated to market his stock through the national livestock marketing association. It was the original aim' of the feeder and fiance corporation to pave the way tor the feeder who wished to borrow money for the purchase of livestock. Production credit is provided tor in the set-up of the American cotton cooperative association. Williams was expected to outline the possibility of stimulating loans at low Interest to the cot ton farmer whose crop has been ao damaged by the drought he will have to seek aid in financing his 1931 crops. In the meantime requests for relief of an entirely different na ture, approximating flood and tor nado relief, continued to pour In to the president and governmental arencies. No action was anticipat ed before Monday when the presl-'"-"tlent was to be given detailed re port of drought damage by the de partment of agriculture.

In stead of costing several thousand dollars a year to run, will turn that money into profit bv the manufacture of chemical by products of all types of garbage. A plant of that type which may be built In Salem in the future would convert all garbage into natural gas, the supply of which would be Inexhaustible. But in the event that private interests build a garbage disposal plant, all profit from it would go Into their hands, whereas if the city built it the people would bene fit, Gregory stated. Similar Plants Xow In Operation in West The Communities Chemical corporation has built several of the garbage disposal plants in the northwest and is operating one in Seattle now, according to Gregory. Under his plan the plants are built In the cities by the company and operated under a 10 per cent royalty. Gregory said he was by no means trying to work a "high pressure"' deal with the city or anyone else. He does not pro pose to approach the city in a salesmanlike manner, but will let Simeral decide the merit of the demonstration on his visit to Seattle today. If it should meet with Simeral's approval. It is be lieved he will try to Interest the city In the lan. With two separate private in terests already "very Interested" in a garbage disposal plant of the type Gregory represents, he believes the eity will enter the fight soon to get first chance at construction. "Whoever signs first on the dotted line will get the first opportunity on our bid." Gregory declared. Chemical Process New in America Chemical disposition and con verting of garbage is a compara tively new thing in the United States, with Henry Ford making the first moves, Gregory says. In Europe, however, and especially in Germany, disposal of garbage by chemicals is an established business with cities saving hun dreds of thousands of dollars a year from the by-products. Destructive disposal ot ordi nary city garbage nets consider able profit for a city or anyone who invests In the project, ac cording to Mr. Gregory. "In one ton of garbage such as goes Into, your city Incinerator we have proved that $28 worth of valu able chemical by-product can be obtained. An ordinary city gar bage disposal plant, however, would convert tbe refuse Into na (Turn to page 2, col. 2) OLD GUARD LOYAL CH1LOQUIN. Ore.. Aug. .
