'Jvffl rtf;, ifej IVs K J H.'S?Z1 NO MAGIC WAND TO SOLVE PROBLEMS PRESIDENT HOOVER TELLS NEW BOARD Washington, July 24 (Autocaster) The Federal Farm Board has been launched on its mission of es tablishing relief and stability for American agriculture. It is backed by a revolving fund of $500,000,000. The board's major accomplishment at its organization meeting last Monday was to appoint a secretary. He is Chris L. Christenson, head of the cooperative division of the Bu reau of Agricultural Economics of the Agriculture Department. President Hoover, in outlining his policy, left it to the board to deal with problems as they deemed wise. He pointed out there is no "magic wand" to bring instant surcease to the planters' woes. The President said: "I am deeply impressed with the responsibilities which lie before you. Your fundamental purpose must be to determine the fact and to find so lution to a multitude of agricultural problems, among them to adjust more nearly production to need, to create permanent business institu tions for marketing which, owned and controlled by the farmers, shall be so wisely devised and soundly founded and well managed, that they, by effecting economies and giving such stability, will grow in strength over the years to come. Through these efforts we may es tablish to the farmer an equal op portunity in our economic system with other industry. "I know there is not a thinking farmer who does not realize all this cannot be accomplished by a magic wand or an overnight action. Real, institutions are not built that way. If we are to succeed it will be by strengthening the foundations and the initiative which we already have in farm organizations, and building steadily upon them with the con stant thought that we are building not for the present only, but for next year and the next decade." The Farm Relief Board is in con tinuous session in it3 temporary quarters in the Mayflower hotel. Alexander Legge, former presi dent of the International Harvester company, who was designated as chairman in his appointment, said the problem confronting it wa3 so vast that the board proposed to pro ceed slowly. Secretary of Agricul ture Hyde indicated the wheat prob lem naturally would not receive much consideration until a member to represent that branch of farm ing had been appointed on the board. He pointed out that the president was having difficulty in selecting a wheat man because of disagreement between the wheat grain elevator men and the wheat pool faction. It is expected that as soon as a wheat represetative is named the board will immediately appoint a commodity council and through this organization will make loans to co operatives. Besides the chairman, the farm board is now composed of the fol lowing men: James C. Stone, of Lexington, Ky., representing tobac co; Carl Williams of Oklahoma City, representing cotton; C. B. Denman, of Farmington, Mo., representing livestock; C. C. Teague, of Los An geles, spokesman for the fruit In terests; Secretary of Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde, general spokesman for the farm board; W. I. Schilling, of St Paul, Minn., representative of dairying interests; and Charles Wil son, formerly Secretary of Agricul ture of the state of New York. As the chief factor affecting the cost per horse-hour on Oregon farms is the number of hours the horse is worked during the year, the cost can be most easily reduced by increasing the number of hours of work per horse, finds the experi ment station in a recent survey. This can be done on some farms by eliminating extra horses, by care fully planning and reorganizing the cropping system to reduce the num ber of horses required, or by finding new profitable farm enterprises that will keep busy the horses that must be kept anyway. f Smash All Records 4 A, , 1 , U f K.

Poultrymen of Oregon Warned Against Disease Oregon State College, Corvallis, July 23. The necessity for careful guarding against Infectious bronchi tis of poultry, now epidemic in Cal ifornia, was emphasized at the sev enth annual convention of the Ore gon Poultrymen's association on the campus. One case of the disease has already been discovered in Ore gon. While no formal embargo against California stock is being contemplated, breeders are advised to be on guard against birds or crates from California, or any egg laying contest. A resolution was unanimously passed in favor of including more egg shows in county fairs to assist in a wider dissemination of Infor mation on egg grades. A higher tariff on dried eggs was asked for in another resolution, to permit the establishment of egg drying plants in this country as a market for low-grade eggs. The association also went on record as favoring more county meetings during the winter months in order that more producers might receive benefits of the organization. Beneficial results from the drive against poultry thieves are becom ing evident, reported officers of the association, who announced that a contract with the Burns Detective agency for the protection of mem bers meeting certain requirements will make it still harder for chicken thieves to exist Use of the new, simple method of tatooing a brand on each bird was urged as a fur ther means of protection. Nearly 200 persons attended the convention. Officers for next year were elected as follows: Lloyd Lee of Salem, president; Fred Cockell of Milwaukie. vice-president; F.
