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.

CHAMBERLAIN SHARES
HIS HEROIC HONORS
Dennlson (IP) A new hero has
come up from the ranks in this Iowa
village to challenge the popularity
of Denison s most heralded citizen,
Clarence Chamberlain, the trans
Atlantic flyer.
For not only do the citizens of this
touh speak of Chamberlain when
they talk about their heroes but also
of Mother A. Harding, a soldier, who
waited 58 years to receive a con
gressional certificate to show that
he had performed with distinguish
ed gallantry in action during an en
counter with Arizona Indians in
10t9.
The incident which resulted in
Harding's citation for gallantry and
the awarding to him of the con
gressional medal, occurred in the
Chlrlcubua mountains of Arizona.
The company in which he enlisted
ran Into a rebellious Indian tribe
near Tucson.
Harding was one of ten volun
teers that led an advance on the
Indians, who had already opened
fire. The volunteers, however, were
ordered to retreat after consider
able firing. But Harding did not
go back. He saw a companion who
had fallen from his horse, and un
der a storm of bullets, went forward
and carried the injured man back
to camp. Then he rode 30 miles to
obtain medical supplies.
Harding served in the army for
more than 23 years.

That the Willamette valley, includ

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

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

farms, the natural conditions fav

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. New York and
Pennsylvania led the 34 states, each
distributing more than 9,000,000
trees.

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.

FIRE CHIEF ANSWERS
BARBER CHAIR QUERY
Bend. Ore. (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."

AUTHORIZE PURCHASE
OF IRRIGATION WORKS
The Rogue Wver Valley irriga
tion district of Jackson county was
Wednesday authorized by the state
reclamation commission to pur
chase irrigation works from the
Public Water company, paying for
them with about $200,000 Irrigation
district bonds at 95.
The district had previously pro
posed that it pay 1196.000 cash or
$i 12.000 in bonds at 90. To bo:h
these proposals the commission had
objections. The commission believ
ed a 10 point discount was un
reasonable. The works purchased were for
