WAREHOUSE RECEIPTS SCHEME
Hoover And Wallace Head Movement
To Solve Financial Problems
Of Agriculture
(Telegram Washington Bureau)
WASHINGTON7, June 11. (Spe
cial.) Financing of the fanner
along modern and scientific lines so
that lie may warehouse his products
and borrow on the warehouse re
ceipts will be discussed at a confer
ence np-ii Monday before Secretary
of Agriculture. Wallace and Secre
tary of Commerce Hoover. It will
be one of the most important of Its
kind ever held in the interest of ad
vancing agriculture to roe same
financial basis as manufacturing
and mining.
Representatives of various farm
organizations, elevai'.rs and grain
dealers, insurance companies and
other associations interested have
been invited to attend.
The proposal is to provide a metli
od by which the farmer may be given
unjimited storage fat ilitics for n:s
grain and receive a warehouse cer
tificate in such form and under such
conditions that it wov.ld pass as an
order for delivery of the grain.
It would thus greatly Increase his
Dorrowing power ana would re
lieve him, of the -pressure of selling
his grain except at his own option.
It would enable him to haul his
grain at the time of tne greatest
farm economy wihout being com
pelled to sell at .that time. It would
extend his credit area far beyond his
local bank. It would place him in
the same, position as to crev. as :s
the grain dealer.
The present system of local eleva
tors and warehouses of small capa
city, relying upon immet;a;e (lis
patch to larger capacity terminal ele
vators, makes it impossible for the
local elevator to give long storage of
grain in any quantity. Owing to this
situation, if the farmer wishes to re
tain his grain until more favorable
marketing conditions he must hold it
at the farm, then he must borrow
money from his local bank where the
credit is a personal t.c and limited
by the ability ami consideration of
the local banker.
In turn the ability of the local
banker to extend, credit is greatly
limited by his relation to the federal
reserve system.
The proposal is therefore!
A That the country etevato
should receive all grain offered roi
storage and issue a certificate as t,
quantity, grade and quality, shownv
on its face the rate of charge ror
warehousing, storage and insurance
against fire and other risks.
B That the country elevato
should have the right to ship grai!
to the natural terminal elevator anc
upon presentation of the certificate
deliver grain of the same or highei
grade at the terminal with proper re
flection of freight charges. If the
grain had moved into a terminal el
evator the charges of freight and
handling together wun the accumu
lated storage and insurance would be
deducted from the sale value.
C That the storage certificate
should be safeguarded by a method
of insurance by the liability com
panies. U As there must be an ab
solute settlement between the coun
.,l,,v.,l,,i mid the farmer as to
Quantity, grade and quality, tin
must be some ready method of appeal
in case of disagremcnt.
This might be arranged by farm
ers and country elevator operators
agreeing to abide by a determina
tion of samples made by some near
by authority such as the grade sup
ervisor of the department of agri
culture. Experience vlill millions
of transactions under the grain cor
poration during the war showed that
such disagreements are extremely
rare and do not entail many appeals.
It the above plan can be made
practicable the farmer will nave a
prime collateral which will op n to
him a much wider circle of credit
than that of his own local bank.
Through the sale of his Certificate?
he would be able to place his grain
on the market at any time he wished
under no compulsion by seasonal or
financial reasons to accept a market
Trice at variance with his own op
tion. The conference is to determine tr
what degree such a plan will benefit

The first sale of wool in this coun

was announced last Friday by W. W.
Smead, acting for Boston buyers,
who bought the Minor & Matlock and
Minor and Thompson fine wool clips
at 18 cents. The two lots aggfe-1
gate about 80,000 pounds and is all j
fine wool. I
While sheepmen are encouraged i
by this movement, not many are dis
posed to sell at the figure named

he is permitted to offer.

At a sale held at Condon last Fri
day about 400,000 pounds changed
hands, the prices ranging from 18 i
3-4 to 20 1-4 cents. Hovers nresent
were Chas Green, F. A. (Clark, Alex
Livingston, J. P. Dufour, Henry
Wagner, George Sharpe, Isador Ko
shlard, and Arno Drew and they rep
resented most of the big woolen mills
and wool dealers of New England.
An important private sale was
made at Baker last Thursday when
C P. Raesdale sold his 1920 and
1921 clips comprising 270 000
pounds to the Portland Warehouse
Co., of Portland, for 16 cents a
pound. The Rngsdale wool is said
to be of tthe finest quality but sheep
men ray that last year's clip was not
nearly up to the standard of the pre
sent clip and this fact may have
something to do with the price paid
for this lot. There yet remains in
Baker county a million and a half
pounds which the producers are dis
posed to hold for better prices.

Alienation of Affections Damage
Suit, Three Divorce Cases Occupy
Courts Attention
The present term of circuit court j
which will close today might be ;
well describe! as a court of domestic j
relations judging from the number of j
cases in which the eternal triangle ;
appeared.
; The only jury trial came Monday
morning and was one in which Geo.
; Hildebrand sought to recover $5,000
; from Harry MeCormick for alleged
alienation of t lie affections of Mrs.
Kuth Hildebrand.
MeCormick, who
- , ..,
'it appeared, is a widower with st
: eral small children, employed Mrs.
Hildebrand to keep house for him
and care for his children and acord-
i ing to the testimony of Hildebrand,
she soon began to show a decided
coolnes towards her husband and a
decided preference for MeCormick.
The husband testified he watched the
couple through a window of the Me
Cormick home at bedtime, his testi
mony being of such a nature as must
have ben embarrassing to his wife
who was present in the court loom,
and who is again llvingwithherhus
band. After a short deliberation the
jury returned a verdict for he de
fendant. Th following divorces were grant
ed: Madge Calkins vs. George Calkins,
of lone.
John Hango vs. Laura Hango, of
Boardnian.
W. T. McRoberts vs. Millie McKob
erts, of Heppner.
Civil cases that were expected to
come to trial were either settled out
of court or continued for the term..
