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.

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. L.
