ANNUAL PRIZE
PLANNED FOR
AID TO FARMER
St. Joseph, Mich., (LP) An annual
award of a gold medal for "excep
tional and meritorious service In the
Interest of agriculture" has been
announced by the American Society

based on an endowment fund pro
vided by Cyrus Hall McCormlck,
Mrs. Emmons Blaine and Harold F.
McCormlck, children of Cyrus Hall

reaper.
Established during the centenary
year of the Invention which revolu
tionized farm production and light
ened immeasurably the farmer's
labor, the award will be presented
annually in recognition of some
outstanding meritorious scientific
accomplishment In engineering as
applied to agriculture.
Workers In all phases ol agricul
tural engineering such as farm
power and machinery, farm struc
tures, rural electrification, land util
ization and reclamation, drainage
and Irrigation, will be eligible.
The medal, designed by Fred M.
Torrey. Chicago sculptor, shows on
one side the figure of a man in an
attitude of thought. On the reverse
are depleted various stages In the
development of labor saving device
which have removed the burden of
hand drudgery from the shoulders
of the modem farmer.
The winner will be selected each
year by a jury composed of out

WORLD FAMINE
BANISHED BY
GRAIN REAPER
Chicago (IP) Th danger of
world-wide famine was removed
100 years ago this month.
In a Virginia wheat field in July
1831, Cyrus Hall McCormlck looked
back on the first strip of grain ever
successfully cut with a mechanical
reaper. That first clean swathe of
wheat served notice on the world
that the era of mechanized agricul
ture had dawned.
It also Indicated to the small
group of scythemen who had gath
ered to watch the experiment that
their occupation of swinging 1
scythe and cradle soon was to be
come a lost art; that the tradition
al method of grain harvesting hand
ed down from the ancients, would
be swept aside and agricultural
methods and extent of acreage rev
olutionized. McCormlck patented his reaper
three years later, but did not begin
marketing It until 1840. A steady
stream of Improvements were added
from the first, making for Increased
efficiency and practicability.
Acreage of grain had been in
creased so much by 1881 that Sec
retary Stanton, head of the war de
partment In President uncouvs
cabinet, declared that McCormlck'
Invention" was of untold yaiue to tne
northern cause during the Civil war.
Economist have credited the
reaper with even greater service to
humanity, declaring that it nas
banished forever the fear of a
world-wide food shortage, a fear
that had existed since Biblical times.
Now, far from fearing shortage of
grain, the nation are troubled with
grain surpluses.
The surpluses are due, economists
say, to the wide use oi motorized
Implements. McCormlck' reaper
wa capable of only eight or ten
acres of grain a day. Alter mat
there still remained the problem of
threshing. Today huge combine
used In the great grain belts of
America harvest and uiresn so to
40 acres a day.
ROGUE MINERS
CASE CONTINUED
Medford, Ore. (jR Circuit Judge
H. D. Norton Monday ordered i
temporary restraining order con
tinued in the suit brought by the
Anglo London-Paris National bank
of San Francisco against Tyson
Pankey and ten other placer miner
operating in the Rogue river along
property ownea oy tieroer, rieun
hacker and a group of capitalists.
The bank Is acting as trustee for
Flelshhackcr and the group of Cal
lfornians. The court directed that
trial for determination of facts in
the case be heard within a week.
The court declared that "although
the unstate nress has commented
upon it, fishing has nothing to do
with the Issue before the court.
The fish question Is In no wise In
volved."
The Plaintiffs allege that con
struction of wing dams by the placer
miners alters the shore line, dam
aging their property. The miners,
under the navigable stream ruling,
claim the right to operate. The
court held the Rogue river is
stream of "limited navigability,"
and that land owners have a ripar
ian right to midstream."
FUSILADE OF ROCKS
FEATURE DIVORCE
Allegations of rock throwing are

Now comes C. E. Timme, defend

He declares that on account of the

SHORT CIRCUITS
DESTROY FISH
Portland, m The state fish
commission Monday had under
consideration a communication
from the California-Oregon power
company In which the power com
pany said 141 short circuit have
been found in the Gold Ray dam
plant on 'the Rogue river In the
past four years.
It Is believed, the commission re
ported, that these short circuits,
loosing 86,000 volts of electricity at
a time, killed thousand of Chinook
salmon and steelhead trout.
M. T. Hot. master fish warden,
asked the power company for an
explanation ol several incidents re
ported by observers.
"I am informed on good author
ity." he said. In speaking of breaks
In the power lines, that these breaks
'electrified the water oi tne Kogue
river over a considerable area to
such an extent that a number of
salmon and other fishes, both
adult and flngerllngs, were killed
or Injured by the charge.
The power company replied that
"It Is Impossible to estimate the
total area of the river electrified by
short circuit."
There have been an average
32 short year, the company saw,
since 1027, and total of 141 ln-
temmcinna.
Witnesses had reported seeing
countless fish leap from the elec
trically charged water, turn over on
their backs and float downstream.
The company made a detailed re
port on the causes of each line in
terruption .over a span of nearly
four years. Poles downed oy winas,
broken insulation, floods, lightning,
falling trees, blostlng, and other
causes were cited.
