Hodge Chevrolet Building Phone 403 21 Common Problems In Ag Economics The economic problems of se riculture are to worldwide in their scope that they furnish an other common basis for interna tional cooperation that should add its share to the progress to ward world peace, reports D. Cur tis Mumford, head of the depart ment of farm management at Oregon State college, on his re turn from attending the sixth in ternational conference of agri cultural economists in England. The session was attended by 62 delegates from 21 countries who spent the 10 days from Aug ust 28 to September 6 in dis cussing such questions as chang ing iarm population, land ten ure, international trade in farm products, effects of modern me thods of farming, agriculture in India and many other subjects. aii countries have common agricultural economics problems providing a scientific bond am ong specialists in this field re gardless of political differences among the various countries," said Professor Mumford. Russia was the principal country not represented at the meeting. Sov iet officials sent word that other pressing matters prevented send ing delegates from that country. Professor Mumford said it was apparent even to the visitor that England is in the midst of a crisis which Lord Huntington, joint parlimentary secretary to the ministry of agriculture, told the conference is the most se vere since the black death stalk ed the land centuries ago. Delegates were asked to limit themselves to two baths per week and to turn off all electric lights except when absolutely needed. The explanation was made that every time a hot water tap is opened or an electric light is turned on coal is used of which there is a critical' shortage. English agriculture is now en thusiastic over the launching of a national agricultural advisory service which is functioning on smewhat the same plan as the federal cooperative extension ser vice in this country, Mumford found. Under this program it is hoep to boost food production even beyond the high levels of the war years. All European del egates agreed that getting Ger many on her economic feet is essential to any lasting recovery of western Europe in general. o OSC Has Record 7400 Enrollment Oregon State College With registration reaching a new all time high of exactly 7400 before the end of the first week of col lege, a fall-term total of 7500 or more is deemed certain. Grad uate students have additional time to enroll while many oth ers are registering late despite the regular penalty. Highest term registration last year was 7133. The expected total of 7500 is about 500 under the number for which facilities were planned this fall. Shortage of housing for married couples and for women students kept many away who had applied and had been ac cepted, officials point out, though some dormitory space for single men at Adair Village, eight miles from the campus, Is still available. The college also re jected applications of hundreds of out-of-state students to take care of a maximum number of Oregon applicants. All classes are larger than last year with the exception of the freshman class with 2303. Soph omores number 3075, juniors, 817; seniors, 915, and the gradu ate school, 279 with many yet to sign up.
