Failure to recognise market and growing conditions has brought disaster to many agriculturalists in Oregon, while' those who hare faVen ad ran tarn of - the state's possibilities in specialty crops hare prospered at least moderate ly. President Ballard said. "When the question of market ing these products (staples and specialties) is considered, we find that Oregon, and Washington and California, are further removed from the' centers of population and the big markets of the coun try, than other states," Ballard explained. "This isa disadvantage which more than offsets Oregon's production advantages, unless there Is set . up a careful produc tion and marketing program on the basis of enlightenment and understanding." Specialty Crops Recommended Oregon has found development of ita fruit and vegetable nrocesa- ing Industry sound, Ballard said, and farmers who are entering the specialty fields, such as growing of small seed, of nursery stock. and of turkeys, are doing well. The state may expect more sat isfactory returns from its agri culture as progressive rural lead ership points the industry toward meeting local land use problems and toward growing of crops for which there Is a market within an economical shipping distance. President Ballard concluded. Governor Sprague traced trans portation in Oregon from the days of the early wagon trails and mil itary roads through the coming of the steamboat, the railroad and, finally, the modern highways with the problem of trucks ,com- 29 Special Trains Will Bring Troops SAN FRANCISCO, July, 3 !-) -One of the largest and most con centrated troop movements the west coast has witnessed will sweep northward next Sunday from California, Nevada and Ore gon for maneuvers of the army and national guard at Fort Lewis, Wash.

Much of the railroads' proper ties are decadent the governor said, pointing in particular to branch lines. Rail ' transporta tion's future, he said, depends upon sound financial reorganisa tion to make debt service require ments dependent upon income, upon emphasis of main line move ment and upon modernization of equipment, freight as well mu pas senger. Trucking, he said, must be op erated on a basis of economic competition. He questioned the economy of long-distance truck ing. State Senator Douglas McKay, chairman of the senate roads and highways committee, answered Pacific tracks, regular passenger and freight schedules will be maintained, the railroad said, de spite the addition of the 23 spe cials. In advance of Sunday's heavy traffic, six special troop and sup ply trains will be dispatched north with men and equipment from Los Angeles, Monterey and Salinas. These will carry 2300 soldiers and 1700 horses.

July ll-V-Hnry Ford, who has sometimes -been alld the world's leading optim ist as well as one of its outstand ing mechanical geniuses, o Dservea his - 77th . birthday, anniversary Tuesday with a normal ontlne Interrupted only long enough for him to reiterate his eonvietlon that-the future will, bring; a pros perity greater than. nyrw hvn known in the past.". . -.It willome,,, he aald, "when we all realise that the things worth while and the things worth having ro worth working for. "The cost of society of nhilosonhv of indifference and carelessness has been strikingly demonstrated, in what ! has hap pened to certain European nations In the last few months. It Is of the utmost Importance to our own future that we avoid falling-into that same attitude. ; Has Changed Little At 77 Henry Ford looks' little different than he. did s.. decade ago; certainly he , has' lost none of the Agility or mental alertness that have been his' throughout an iwava active' career. ' When ; he was K0 years old he heeded eye classes: at 10 he was able to dls- rard them. : Now he uses them only for reading fine print. Today Ford, who probably has contributed more to the develop ment of the world's mechanical era than any other living Individ nal. reseated his prediction that the day of the four-footed farm animal Is nearing Its end and that the chemistry of the world's sclen tlfic laboratories will" produce "better food than our people ever have known He also reiterated his assertion that "politics presents the great est obstacle to a true develop ment of social, economic and in dustrial prosperity." "Like a lot of other outmoded philosophies, however," he said, "politics will be tossed Into the discard In the future that I see. It Is a future In which science and education generally will en able us to benefit more fully from the experience we have gained and the knowledge we have inherited from those genera tions that have preceded us."
