MOTORIZATION OF CAVALRY IS REPORT THEME Washington, (United Press) . Further evidence of the Cavalry's gradual exchange of hooves for wheels and caterpillar tractors Is contained in the annual report of Maj. Gen. H. B. Crosby, chief ol cavalry, made public by the war department. , Motorization and mechanization for cavalry purposes still are in the experimental stage, Crosby repor ted to to the secretary of war but a olatoon of a 2nd armor car squad ron, was organized this year. The first such squadron organized In 1928, now is an Intergral part of the 1st cavalry division stationed at Port Bliss. Tex. Experimentation is being ccn tinued with light armored cars and with Christie type armored cars. The latter are capable of 40 miles an hour speed over metdowiaua and operate either with wheels or tractors. Crosby's report indicates the belief that cavalry n future wars will be in direct contact with qnemy tanks and with this in mind anti-tank weapons are being de veloped for experimental Issue to cavalry units. The personnel or tne new ar mored car platoon is being instruc ted at the infantry tank school, Fort George G. Meade, Md. In ad dition Crosby this year organized a tactical development section to study developments resulting from changes In organization, armament equipment, combat methods and' methods of transportation. In keep ing with the present trend toward motorization, Crosby said, the sec tion has given special attention to the xoregorn'r subjects. For the first time in United States army history, armored cars and anti-tank weapons were in eluded in material for 1st cavalry division maneuvers along the Mex lean border last month.

THE CAPITAL JOl'HNAI, WOOL GROWERS TALK NATIONAL SELLING PLAN San Angelo, Texas U Eight hundred wool growers assembled at the wool growers' central warehouse here Thursday for discussion ot a national wool selling plan worked out by an executive committee rep resenting all sections of the coun try. The committee which devised the marketing plan, on which no offi cial action has yet been taken, is made up of 15 men named by a re cent Chicago meeting at which na tional wool growers took action toward setting up a workable mar keting plan in cooperation with the federal farm board. The plan was perfected late Tuesday just prior to the opening of the national convention. It calls for the creation of the an nual wool marketing association with L. H. Palmer of Columbus. Ohio, president; Roger Gillis of Del Rio, Texas, vice-president, and P. Byron Wilson of McKinley, Wyo., as secretary -treasurer. According to the plan the nation al association will have a capital of $1,000,000 and will be owned and controlled by stock holding mem bers agencies throughout the United States. An executive department will set prices for wool sold by its members and will direct the sale. C. B. Denman, member of the federal farm board, jvho is attend ing the session here, Wednesday urged the members to adopt the marketing plan which is approved by the board.

Further the statement said that the power, gas and other public utilities could undertake a pro gram In excess of 1929: that lead ers in the automobile industry had said that industry should quickly return to its normal production and that it was stated that large con struction programs would be under taken in the. steel Industry for the replacement of antiquated and ob solete plants.

Secretary Mellon of the treasury and Secretary Lamont of the com merce department were called into consultation, together with Julius Barnes, chairman of the board, and William Butttrworth. president of the United States chamber of com merce. Approaching his problem from both ends of the economic scale, the president arranged a meeting with the labor men for late In the day. to determine what place the workers can take In his general scheme for sustained business ac tivity. The primary purpose of Mr. Hoover's series of conferences, which already have Included meetings with the presidents of the eastern rail roads and bankers from all sections of the country Is to banish what he has termed "foolish pessimism" regarding the fundamental stability of the nation's business. This goal m before him as he entered upon the consultations with industrial and labor leaders. The chief executive was particularly anxious to avoid the Institution of a virions economic cycle under which the workers of the country, the nation's great consuming mn, In expectation of hard times and unemployment, sharply curtail their expenditures for necessities and lux uries alike and thus contribute to bringing about the situation which they fear. In. addition to Foi.. Young and Rosenwald. they Included: Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of General Motors: Pierre Dupont, chairman of the board of E. I. Du pont de Nemours and Company: E. O.

STATE, COUNTY, CITY SECURITIES ACTIVITY SEEN New York P Treasury officials in cities, counties and states throu ghout the country are preparing to end their long vital on the door steps of leading bankers. Banks once more have the wel come sign out for communities in search of loans. For the first time since the beginning of the bull market investors are being advised to purchase bonds. An examination of several lists a large recommendations discloses a large proportion of municipal, county and state bonds. Dull safety is coming into fashion with large and small investors and one hears less and less of glittering prospects. November and Decem ber might even break some rec ords for bond offerings if the pres ent rate of offerings continues. Bankers expect that New York City's issue of $60,000,000, originally planned for October 29, will be shortly forthcoming.

Kentucky is expected to offer from $10,000,000 to $11,000,000 worth of bonds for the construction of toll bridges. New York state is thought to be contemplating im portant offerings in view of the fact that the last financing was in short term notes. Albama is floating an issue of $2,500,000 for the improvement of roads and bridges. Orleans parish. La., is selling $3,000,000 in bonds for the con struction of schools.

MARION COUNTY PRODUCES MOST STRAWBERRIES Oregon Agricultural College That the Willamette valley, includ ing Marion county, produces 77 per cent of the strawberry crop of Ore gon, is a fact brought out In a re cent bulletin prepared by C. E. Schuster and A. S. Burrier, special ists In horticulture and farm man agement respectively at the Ore gon experiment station. Oregon ranks fifth among the states in to tal production and second in ield per acre. The future of the strawberry en terprise in Marion and other coun ties ot the valley depends largely on whether the Oregon grower can capitalize his natural advantages In a lower cast of production, state Professors Schuster and Burrier. Commercial strawberry production is common to many states and is increasing throughout the United States as well as Oregon. In the long run, competition with other re gions can be met only by a lower cost of production for goods of equal quality or by a product of superior quality at the same production cost.'' Latest available iigures snow tnai Oregon has 4.5 per cent of the -total strawberry acreage of the United States, and 6.8 per cent of the tota. production. Because its adaptability fljf an additional enterprise on many farms, the natural conditions fav oring its success a long mild grow ing season, very little rain at pick ing time, and good berry soils at comparatively low prices per acre, the strawberry promises to become increasingly Important, in Oregon agriculture. REFORESTATION PROGRESS SEEN Washington. (U The forest Ser vice of the Agriculture Department announced that 68.565.291 trees were furnished by 34 states, Hawaii and Porto Rico last year for re-stocklng farm tlmberjands. Coincident with the department's announcement, George Pratt, pre sident of the American Forestry Association. lonr leader in the caue of forest preservation, called at the White House to urge increa sed appropriations of $2500,000 for forest fire fighting purposes. Pratt told President Hoover much of last year's $3,000,000 damage to the countrvs forests could nave been averted had there been ad: quate funds with which to combat fire. Only $iuo.uou annually now is aviable, he pointed out. Most of the trees were furnished farmers at cost, the agr.culture de partment said in Its announcement, although several states distributed nursery stock free.

COOPERATIVES HEAR FARM BOARD PLANS (Continued from page 1 say much more in reply to specific questions later in the day. He out lined briefly the organization and scope of the fcoard work, and de clared it is the policy of that body to help cooperatives now formed and to encourage the formation of others where needed, as the board is required to deal only through organized groups. Wilson said personal contact !s being sought, both tlrrough the regional representative, W. A. Schoenfeld of Portland, and di rectly with the board members. He also asked for a written state ment of the extent and nature of cooperative marketing in Oregon to take directly to the board. This was supplied by George O. Gatlin, secretary of the council, in the form of a survey he made as ex tension specialist in marketing at Oregon Agricultural college. Oregon now has 152 cooperative organizations doing business within the state, according to Gatlin's sur vey read to the council. Of this num ber 100 are cooperatives organized in this state, 33 are locals def cr ated into three large groups, 12 are purchasing associations, and 7 are out-of-state associations, doing bus iness In Oregon. Total volumn of business is between 25 and 30 mil lion dollars annually. In general, he said, Oregon has some of the strongest and some of the weakest farm marketing groups, but that the groundwork is well done for sound expansion, federa tion and In some Instances reorgan ization. Too many competing organ izations exist now for volumn of business done. Wilson, enumerated for the first time, the 10 commodity divisions made to date by the farm board. these being cotton, dairy products. train, rice, livestock, wool and mo hair, tobacco, poultry and eggs. seeds, and potatoes. Grouping of fruits and vegetables has not been completed, he said, and he wished to discuss that while m this state.

(IP) What would a fire chief do If he was in a barber's chair when the fire siren sounded? That question has often been asked by residents of this eastern Oregon city. The siren of the Shevlin-Hixon lumber mill was sounded recently. Fire Chief Tom Carlon was in the barber's chair. The sirens had not reached tlieir high notes before the chair was vacated and a red car was headed in the general direction of the mill, where, it was found, the alarm was false. , Before leaving the barber shop Carlon hastily removed all obstruct ing towels and. reports indicate presented a fairly neat appearance when he drove into the mill yard The razor, however, had not been applied to his face. M'NARY HAUGEN BILL INFLUENCE IN 'FARMRELIEF' By FRANK L WKl.I.KR Washington Wi The senate ag ricultural committee's investigation of progress by the federal farm board reveals in the American con sciousness an ldelible analogy be tween farm, relief" and the "mar keting abroad" of surplus aggrlcul tural products. It is a throwback to McNary- Haugenism the background or which has been painted every pic ture of farm relief legislation in eight years. Even then the Impression does not run true to the canvas. Those stalwarts of rehabilitation proposed orderly and regular marketing at home and abroad but to many farm relief had ccme to mean the pro cess of getting surplus commodities out of the country and on foreign markets. Under the federal farm board Chairman Legge explains, farm re lief still means orderly and regular marketing; but by no interpreta tion of the new agricultural mar keting act docs It find forte In dumping American products on the world market. The chairman points to the Far mers' National Grain corporation now in the making as an example of what the board understands farm relief to be. Briefly, the gov ernment is coming to the financial assistant of grain cooperatives in forming a central marketing agen cy through which it is hoped a suf ficient quantity of a commodity will pass to give that product a bargaining power. i It is believed that the wide mar gin between the spot market and the futures market shows the lat ter to be too low. The proposed ef fect of the corporation would be to minimize speculation and give the farmer more nearly the value of his product by elevating the cash price. RAISES IN WAGES MADE BY FORD (Continued from page 1) of leading labor organizations filed into the White House to con fer at the same cabinet table where a few hours earlier' the giant em ployers of the country had agreed to stand by labor. Washington (A) Henry Ford said Thursday after leaving a conference of businessmen called by the presi dent that the first thing to do was to correct the impression tnat the present condition of affairs is due to the etock market." "Collapse of sp?culation may have been the occasion of business hesitation." Mr. Ford continued, but it certainly was not the cause. The stock market does not make prosperity but prosperity is abso lutely essential to such an inila tion of values as we have seen during the past year: When an in flated stock market breaks, it does not necessarily carry general busi ness down with it, but when gen eral business declines it invariably deflates the artificial values of the stork mrrket. "That is what happened. It was only the temporary diversion of businessmen's attention that pre vented them from seeing what was happening. It is now clear to all that the real explanation of the present situation is not to be found In recent stock market history, but in recent business history." HEATING UP BRAIN SPEEDS THINKING Vlehna. Austria, W Interest- Ina exDeriments in applying diath ermic waves through the skull bones to the large brain or cere brum are being carried out by Dr. Hans Hoff and Prof. Paul Schilder at the Psychiatic clinic of Vienna university. It already, had been discovered that the application of- cold and heat to the small brain or cerebel lum had the effect of reducing and increasing activity respectively. Efforts now are being made to reach the large brain with these waves and success will permit the possibility of applying diathermy to bring about an extension of the in tellectual faculties which have their seat In that organ.
