PajW TVB THE EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD OUT COTTON MAY By RAYMOND CLAPPER Tnlted Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, An. 13. (U.B The federal farm board's proposal for Abstraction of one-taird of the cotton crop la the moat extensive effort yet inane by tha government to deal with the huge snrmuses 01 rne oecesssne of lift which are piling up in th intent of rienresslnn. Tha proposal was eipeeted roday to load to severe controversy. It follows np private efforts !n the Urn direction in otner commocmies. California neach rrowers are re ported to have agreed to destroy a Jgrsa portion of their surplus. In Kansas wheat farmera hare dumped their train in tha atreeta or let It lie father than sell It for 25 cents a ushel. Pronoaals are being revived to send fcart of tha government-owned wheat to feed famine-stricken Chlneae. Pome are. augceetlng disposition of 80.000.100 bushels this way. i-resi' Aim TTnover's Information la thai only about 10,000,000 bushels eonld Da disposed or. Governor W. H. Murrav of OMa tioma him foreihlr shut down flush wells and federal officials here hnvo rebuked Texns operatora for not clos' log down also. At the asm time, with the batli article of food, clothing and fuel drnff on tha market, federal offl' dale are being warned there will be . mora human hardship In aome loeall ties next winter than last year. Fres fdenl Hoover Is awaiting complete re ports ae to local nccda before deciding upon a reoerai program, uunniumii are expected to be worst In middle western industrial regions, according to authoritative advices. 'Ilia first ef- fort is to insure that local comma pities exhaust tbelr own resonrcea before federal aid la given. The cotton destruction plan raises the question why jt is necessary to destroy possibly millions of dollars worth of these necessaries when mil lions are in want. Officials do not profess to have any answer except that it la an emergency and that In tha end individual Initiative will work out all right. Tha situation Is In the cpinlon of many, heading to a show down next winter aa to whether In inch a complex civilisation Individual nitlative will work without, guidance and soma organized assistance from the whole people acting collectively aa government. SOUTH SPLIT UP ATLANTA. Aug. 13. flJ.B Lead' fers of the south are not In agreement on the wisdom of the farm board plan to hold Ita surplus cotton for year If cotton producing state" arret to destroying a third of th cur rent cron. Kenctions range all the way from "grentest thing tha bonrd ver did to Just so much mink. Governors and cotton mnnutactnr ra are aplit by tha proposal, and state officials are not in agreement. Planters are Inclined to fnvor aome form of storage of thla year'a surplus with stringent reduction of acreage Bext year. Tha destruction of a portion of the present crop is an old proposal, rais ed In many sections throughout the cotton belt by recognised lenders of the Industry, who have urged that It lis plowed under or Just not picked $t alL when arbitrary reduction of ejaega appeared slight. FARMERS OPPOSED DALLAS, Tex., Aug. 18. CP M. H. Wolfe, general manager of the farmers marketing association or America, in a communication to Gov ernor Ross Sterling of Texas declar- g today that tha federal farm board In no position to ask the farmera destroy one-third of their cotton crop to boost prlcea, he said: "Regarding the farm board's pro posal to plow np one-third of the cotton crop, I would suggest that It would be better to plow up the farm board. Aa long as tha farm board gam bles in futures and demoralises the marketa of the world, tha board la In no position to ask tha farmera to de stroy one-third of their property to help the price," HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 18. 0J An old but neglected custom of select ing 13 young actresses who appear to have bright futures In motion pictures baa been revived thla year In Holly wood and tha "baby stars" will make their formal bow to the public during the 150th birthday celebration of Los Angeles, Sept. 4 to 13.

Students at the University of Ore gon, both old and those entering this fall, have an unusual opportunity offered them for guidance and ad vice, a service that should prove of great value to them throughout their college careers and alter, it Is de clared by O. Laurgaard, of Portland, president of the "Oregon Dads' and Mrs. F. W. Bond, president of the Oregon Mothers, who have just made a thorough study of the student ad visory system here at the request of Tretudent Arnold Bennett Hall. The student advisory system at the university, regarded as one of the moRt efficient in the Cnited States, will be enpecially valuable this year, due to the fact that larger and fewer clansea will be held on the cam pun, and the close contact between faculty and student so greatly desired will be facilitated largely through this means, it U pointed out by Mrs. Bond and Mr. Laurgaard. The advisory system operates on der the direction of the recently established personnel bureau, herded by Dean Karl W. Onthank. Knch year outstanding faculty members who hare a keen understanding of students and their problems, are selected to act as advisors. As stu dents register, they are assigned to one of these advisors, usually in the school or department in which they plan to continue their major work. As the students register a special card with information on the student is filled out. This is available to the advisor. An aptitude test and other examinations are also given the en tering student, and material thus found often proves valuable in hand ling student problems. Students are free to go to their advisors or to staff members of the personnel bureau and discurs with chi'in their courses in the university, ntudy problems they encounter, as welt as tlif.tr other affairs, sflch as living conditions, social programs and others. Advisors and others with whom they come in contact offer them friendly advice and assist them in every way. The bureau also extends to the student ita facilities for vocational guidance, a service that Is proving specially valuable in thia day of in tensive specialization in life work. The atudent wiU be told frankly whether or not he. Is fitted for work he desires to follow, and by scientific means his aptitude for certain lines may be determined. This phase of work, as well as other projects. U under the direction of Dr. Howard R. Taylor, regarded by educators as one of the outstanding men in this field in the entire country. Parents of students should urge their boys and girls to seek advice of the personnel bureau, rather tban that of fraternity or sorority associ ates. Mr. Laurgaard pointa out, for in this way often much wasted effort may be avoided, and students get the most out of the time they spend on the campus. Cooperation of every parent with the university staff Is asked by President Hall, through the heads of the Dads and Mothers organizations. "The anlverslty exists to serve the students and the state," aayi Dr. Hall. If mothers and fathers will spend a little time with their boys ond girls, studying out their prob lems with them, and especially urg ing them to take full advantage of the facilities here, it will greatly aid us in giving the best we have to the students." The university will open Its fall term September 21. when "freshman ! week" will start. Regular classes fori all students will begin on September 2S. Farmers of the Lake Creek valley are interested in the plan to form a public utility district and erect an electric power plant at Triangle lake, according to H. A. Rust, well known resident of the Blachly district, who was in Eugene Thursday. Preliminary papers were filed a few days ago with the state hydro-electric power com mission created by the last state legis lature. If the plans are carried out the entire like Creek valley will be elec trified and the farmers of that section of the county will derive the benefit of cheap power for the operation of their machinery and cheap llsht for their bouses, it was pointed out by Mr. Rust. Sawmills and other industrial plants would also benefit, he said. Under the new state law it is neces sary to obtain the signatures of a cer tain number of voters In the proposed district on a petition, then take it to the county clerk who issues a certifi cate and then present it to the hydro electric commission. Mr. Rust said that a plant with a -Ant 13, 1931 capacity of 200 or 800 hon would ne sufficient to Turnih Tt? ight and power the Lake Creek J,' ley people would use and he thn, l that such a plant would cost JiWi or $20,000.
