Secretary Hyde will request farm organizations and others interested to suggest men for board appoint ments. Mr. Hoover hopes that within two weeks he can select ' a board from this personnel and that which already has been proposed to him. Thus far Mr. Hoover haB made no definite selections, but it is known that two being considered seriously are James C. Stone of Lexington, Ky., president of the Burley Tobacco Growers' Co-operative association, and Carl Williams, a , farm paper publisher of Oaklahoma, and former ly a member of the federal board of mediation. r r. A Rather definite information is available that neither Julius Barnes of New York, ex-president . of the United States prain corporation, nor Frank O. Lowden, ex-governor of Illinois, and foremost among the ad vocates of the equalization fee plan of farm relief, will be offered places on the board. Both had been men tioned. ' The president is understood to de sire men who have had successful experience in the co-operative field and especially in handling basic com modities such as cotton, grain, live stock and tobacco. ; . 1 President Hoover described the farm relief bill as "a constructive start at agricultural relief" and as "the most important measure ever passed by congress in aid of a single industry." His formal statement, issued sev eral hours after the actual signing, follows: "After many years of contention we have at last made a constructive start at agricultural relief with the most important measure ever passed by congress in aid of a single indus try. "As it would have introduced many cross currents to have initiated any movement toward the selection of the farm board until after the legislation was completed, no steps have been taken in this direction beyond the re ceipt of several hundred recommenda tions. "It will require two or three weeks to make these selections. The choice of the board is not easy, for its mem bers must in a measure be distributed regionally over the country, it must at the same time be chosen so as to represent so far as possible each major branch of agriculture. "Moreover, the board must be made up of men of actual farm experience and inasmuch as its work lies largely in marketing in conjunction with farm co-operatives its membership should be comprised of men who have been actually engaged in direct ing farmers' marketing organizations. It is desirable that the board should have in its constitution at least one man experienced in general business and one with special experience in finance." . . Wenaha Stock Men Fix Standing Reward For Cattle Rustlers Members of the Wenaha Cattle and Horse Association, holding a special meeting at Walla Walla Saturday, voted to offer $100 reward for infor mation leading to the arrest and con viction of any person caught stealing cattle or sheep within the jurisdiction of the association. Posters announcing the reward are to be printed and posted along all roads in the forest reserve, on trees in conspicious places, and elsewhere in sections where stealing is going on or apt to be going on, to let the thieves know that the stockmen are aroused and mean business. President Eugene Thomas called the meeting to order at the cham ber of commerce rooms in the morn ing' and at noon presided over a luncheon at the Grand hotel, follow ing which the rustling problem was discussed. . Instances were cited of cattle stealing in the past and the difficulty of getting evidence. Mr. Thomas suggested the "reward as a possible solution and after being thoroughly discussed it was decided to try it Mr. Lowden, manager of the Walla Walla Meat and Cold Storage company said his firm would offer $50 toward such a reward and the association voted immediately to match this. The association has been fighting "rustlers" for years and through the reward system hopes to make it easi er to get information which will lead to conviction. Some men have been going into the hills with trucks and killing calves, bring them to the markets, it was stated. Some other methods of handling the situation were discussed but it was decided to make public simply the matter of the reward. "The stockmen mean business on this .-rustling matter," i said , Mr. Thomas. "The money will be paid when earned. We are going to stop this stealing." , -,. Would Clamp Lid On Fire Works Kettle The Pendleton East Oregonian'says the lid to the "Firecracker" ordin ance,, which was undamped in Pen dleton this year, may be clamped on again immediately after the Fourth of July, and extra bolts put into it to keep it down for all time. Such was the attitude of the city councilmen, who met after a week of endless cele bration of nothing in particular. The councilmen didn't celebrate, they all kicked themselves for ever slipping the clamp off of the ordin ance, for not one of them have en joyed the premature celebration of the Fourth. But after the Fourth of July this year, when all merchants will have had a chance to unload their stock of fireworks, the clamps will be put in place again.
