Dec. 6 CAP), To the question of wha,t lus- - sla hish speed arrlcultoral de- . velopment will meant to the Unit-j ed States, & young American scH - entlst offers an answer based on ; , nine months inspection of. Sorlet -' - "Our exports in the fature will have to. he of special high grade Qualities on a limited scale." Dr.: J, - O.: Dickson of the Uni-; rerslty of Wisconsin Is the scien tist, just retained from a trip sponsored br the United States department of agriculture to stu dy cereal diseases. He emphasized that' his riews were purely personal and in no way . connected . with his gorern- ment mission. Then be went on to describe a nation stirred by aparrelled mass enthusiasm, making "tremendous, almost fab ulous" progress In an agricultur al way and speeding up produc- xlVt "Jry'Xi'tL1?, ether nations. Few Hotels Found on Junket In Russia "I was treated well by Sorlet officials," Dr. Dickson said, "and permitted to go whererer I pleas- et. . There ar no hotels or other accommodations In most places, howerer, so what I really did was tramp around the country almost like a bum. I carried by bed on my back." The young scientist eorered enough ground, bowerer, and saw enough of the huge trust and col lective t ansa to be conTlnced that Russia can prod ace wheat in such a manner to undersell any nation with standards of liTlng such as those In this country. . The essential factor In'lhe So viet . agricultural " program is haste. Dr. Dickson said. There Is no time under the "fire year plan for small experiments to try ut rarious types, to see what 10II is best adapted to certain grains. Thousands of acres are planted in crops never known to the committees before. I saw southern Illinois soy baans and North , Dakota corn 'grown In the same .area," Dr. Dickson said. "I saw 320,000 acres of cotton growing in clima tic conditions similar to southern Illinois." . Phenomenal" Resnlte Made In Year Now Past '- The results of the high speed, mechanised production, aided by unusually favorable weather the past season were described phenomenal." Dr. Dickson estimated the wheat Jleld at 1.180,000,000 bushels adding "and remember l they grow only four TarieUes. Barley production reached a pre war basis, r he said, while cotton and soy beans were grown , "in proportions the country never heard of before."

He made It evident his hand ful of liberal followers In the house -of commons, who can vote the labor government out of office any day, would have done so long ago but for the fact the conservatives are pledged to pro tective tariff reform. Epigrams Sparkle in Speech of old Leader "The to lies want a free hand In the national cupboard," he said, "our business Is to keep the tariff mice away from the people's bread." He also assailed the American debt settlement made by the for mer Baldwin government, saying the "mischief of that settlement continued to spread. "we are lassoed fast by Amer ican finance," he asserted. "We are only beginning to realise what that terrible debt settle ment means. That gold stand' ard settlement was premature and 111 thought out. We have been dragged over the course by the wild horses of Wall street." - He termed the labor govern ment "an acknowledged failure". "Britain Is : between the devil and' the deep : sea," he went on. "Our only practical choice Is be tween the labor party, .whose avowed doctrine is socialism, and the conservative party, which Is ready to plunge heedlessly, into a vortex of fiscal revolution. - It is a sorry -choice." x With the alternative at hand. he said, the laborites cannot be given another chance - and , be Judged from day to day. until that .tjtlme when the electorate can be prevailed upon , to trust the liberal party with the gov ernment, - Cherrians Plan For Decoration Oi Annual Tree Completing of plans for the dec oration of the courthouse Christ mas . tree, a matter always han dled -by the Cherrians,' will be done Tuesday night . when ! that group meets, at the Gray Belle at 0:30 o'clock.

Belgium, Dec. B. (AP) A mysterious poison fog blanketing the Meuse valley in Belgium or three days, has terrified the countryside and al ready caused 04 deaths. Many domestic animals also have fall en as victims. For 72 hours an extremely heavy fog has hung over the val ley, and peasants groping their way through the dense clouds of mist have died in sudden and horrible asphyxiation. At first it was believed the casualties were caused by the choking mists aggravating splratory complaints, but magnlture of the epidemic has brought fears poison gas is re sponsible. It is known that great Quanti ties of German war material are burled around Liege, where most of the fatalities . have occurred. and some persons believe this re sponsible. Others lay the trou ble to -some, noxious by-product of an Industrial works which has mixed, with the fog and drifted slowly down the air currents of the valley. Still others believed a secret store of poison gas has been loosed in some manner. Authorities Work Frantically To Determine Exact Cause Authorities are working fran tically to determine the exact cause. Panle has seised the villagers of the region, who have fled to their houses and In many cases have packed In the livestock to save . the animals from the un seen, but deadly threat. The Tillage of Engis appears the center of the extraordinary epidemic. Fourteen deaths are reported there. Among the other fatalities re ported are eight at Flamalle Haute, four at Flamalle- Grande, five at Yvoy-Ramet, ten at Je- meppe-Sur-Meuse, and seven at Othee. Most of the terrified Inhabi tants are convinced that burled stores of German war gas, rem nants of the supply dumps con centrated In this area during the World war, are responsible. The victims have died just as did sol diers without gas masks in the war.

Al though I am not speaking for oth er members of the state highway commission. I believe they will Join In any plan that will help to provide . necessities for persons who are without employment." VanDuzer declared that the best results would be obtained by providing state highway funds for the improvement of county and market roads. He said - such plan would provide employment In every county in Oregon, while a speeding up ef work on the state highways would confine em ployment to a few of the more fa vored sections of the state. Mr. VanDuzer emphasized the state ment that much of the work on State highways already had been advanced, and that more men were at work In state construc tion at this time of the year than ever before. j. Lessened Efficiency Likely In Emergency Program "I fully realize that the state highway commission will not re ceive 100 er cent efficiency in an emergency program," said Van Duzer, "and it is probable that a considerable amount of money would be wasted.
