her family into lone where she
made her home until January 1,
1930, when she moved to Portland.
In the 45 years she lived in and
near lone, she witnessed many
changes. She watched the building
of the railroad through our little
valley, her husband being one of the
laborers who helped with the work.
She endured all the hardships of a
pioneer mother,' and her passing is
mourned, not only by her seven
children, but by 33 grandchildren
and 24 great grandchildren as well,

LEGGE URGES CUT
IN WHEAT ACREAGE
(Continued from First Pace)
I'nited Action Necessary.
Mr. Legge said that the drought
prevalent in the middle west has
had a temporary effect of raising
wheat prices. This is the case on
reports of major crop damage al
ways. However, the effect can only
be temporary when consdiered from
a long-time viewpoint, and the fu
ture of the industry demands a de
crease in supply.

National Grain Stabilization corpor
ation, which has bought up and
withdrawn from the market 60 mil
lion bushels of wheat in an attempt
to keep the price of wheat from
falling too rapidly and to too low
a point. At the present time this
amount is being kept constant, but
eventually the grain must be sold as
it is costing a million dollars a
month to hold it This course was
taken as an emergency measure at
a time when the stringency of the
situation was believed sufficient to
justify it
Mr. Legge said he could not ad
vise farmers of the Pacific north
west as to what extent it might be
practical for them to decrease their
wheat acreage. He said much bene
fit could be gained, from working to
ward of lowering production costs,
in feasible instances substituing
other crops for wheat, and feeding
wheat to hogs and sheep, all of
which was discussed by G. R. Hys
lop, professor of farm crops, Ore
gon State college, in a paper show
ing that great strides had been
made in Oregon in at least part of
Mr. Legge's recommendations. By
marketing the commodity in the
form of livestock, for which there
is generally a better demand, the
wheat thus fed would cut down the
surplus and in a measure help to
increase the wheat price.
World Markets Narrow.
While to a decrease in human con
sumption of wheat was attributed
part of the credit for helping build
up the immense stores now held in
this country, Mr. Legge was of the
opinion that nothing could be done
about it. Per capita wheat consump
tion in the United States in the last
ten years has dropped from 5.4 to
4.2 bushels a year. This was said
to be caused largely by the introduc
tion of machinery which has light
ened man's labor and obviated the
necessity for so great a quantity of
heavier foodstuffs. People are eat
ing more fruits and vegetables to
day. As they require but so much
food, to encourage them to eat more
of one kind would mean asking
them to restrict the eating of other
kinds.
That the so-called business de
pression has reacted favorably in
stead of unfavorably, as might be
expected, on the price of wheat, Mr.
Legge asserted to be true, because
bread is one of the cheapest food
stuffs even at ten cents a loaf, and
people whose incomes have been
curtailed are resorting to bread
as an economical substitute for
more expensive foods.
High tariff walls and ever increas
ing production in foreign countries
makes prospects for future United
States wheat export trade gloomy,
indeed, Mr. Legge declared. Facts
and figures in this relation indicated
that it is becoming increasingly
harder for the United States to com
pete In the world wheat markets,
verifying Mr. Legge's assertion that
if wheat prices are to be maintain
ed at a high level at home, the sup
ply must be decreased to a point
more nearly equal to the domestic
demand.
IFree Air
would lose nothing, he pointed out,
if the country raised only half as
much wheat and were paid twice
as much for it The heavy moit
gage indebtedness of wheat farm
ers today was built up coincident
with the building up of the present
huge surplus, he argued, and it can
not be hoped to reduce this indebt
edness while continuing to add to
the surplus. If the present course
of unlimited production is main
tained, surpluses will continue to In
crease and prices will continue to
decline to the point where-It will be
impossible to realize any profit at
all from the growing of wheat
He advised that the only way the
curtailment could be successfully
accomplished is through the united
action of farmers, agencies for the
bringing about of which are already
in existence, including the Farmers
National Grain corporation.
