about the farm board isn't true,"
today before leaving for Pendle

Legge said the paramount farm
problem now is to dispose of a

He urged feeding to cattle and hogs
in preference to corn at present
prices.
"Condense your product into
smaller packages," he advised, adding-

Legge said the farm board's
greatest work lies in building up

restricted to demand.

Oregon Reclamation Con

Law Urged.
BURNS, Ore., Aug. I). (P)A
warning to Oregon that there la a
parnmount need of conservation of
water through wise use of "this
greatest remaining natural asset,"
was given by both federal and
state authorities at the concluding
session of the Oregon Reclamation
congress here today. E. li. Debtor,
representing tho federal bureau of
reclamation, and Rhea Luper,
stato engineer, were tho principal
speakers.
James T. Chinnock of Grants
Pass was expected to be re-elected
president at the final business sea-
sion this afternoon, and it was be
lieved Medford would be selected ,
as tho next meeting place. I
With Increasing demands for I
irrigation, power, cities, industries :
and recreational areas, the Colum
bia river is the only river In the
west with a water supply greater
than the Indicated needs, Debler
told the congress. We said frriga
tion cannot stand the full expense
of development of this river, and
suggested power companies, pri
vate or public, should share in the
expense, as should other projects
benefiting from the work.
Dubler said close cooperation be
tween states, districts and the fed
eral government will bo necessary
for the future success of such a
project. "The spectre of eastern
opposition to reclamation can be
met only by such united action,"
he declared.
Luper declared a public mis
understanding exists as to the
present status of private control of
water power resources. Tho state
is not signing away a public heri
tage he said, but he urged a new
leasing law whereby the eta to may
better protect power sites while
still encouraging development by
private cifpltal wheie this is ad

Declare Burden of Proof
That Russian Lumber
Isn't Made By Convict
Labor Rests On Importers
Charge Political Cow
ardice.
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. U. (P)
Resolutions calling upon the
treasury department anil adminis
tration officials to deny Impurtu
tlon ol Russian lumber are ex
pected to be adopted by tho Na
tional Lumbermen's association
here today.
Dr. Wilson Compton, secretary-
manager of the association, told
the lumbermen last night In his
opinion adequate evidence had
been supplied to show Russian
lumber admitted recently hail
been produced by Russian con
victs in tho White Ken region.
"Wo hold the burden of proof
that goods nru not couvict-mado
should bo placed on tho Import
ers," Dr. Compton said. "The
Russians are buying American
machinery in order to produce
guuds at a low cost to sell to us
In competition with American
Industry. They ore trying to en
courage administration officials to
forget nbout enforcing tho tariff
act prohibiting the Importation, of
goods made in whole or in purt
by convict labor."
Dr. Compton charged "political
tmidlty" was responsible for the
treasury department's action in
admitting Russian lumber and
pulp wood. Ho said the depart
ment attitude was caused by
Russia's buying goods In this
country three times tho value of
what she sells here.
A. C. Dixon, Kugene, Ore.,
president of the association, told
the lumbermen the Industry
"should not stop nt production
but nhould go out and get the
business." lie urged tho dele
gates to educate tho public to nil
uses of lumber and nd vised "In
tensive and modern methods of
salesmanship."
M. H. Nelson. Knnsnn City,
preMldent of the Umg-Rell Lum
ber company, said home financing
plans are much In demand. The
home financing committee, of
which he Is chairman, recom
mended a home financing depart
ment be made a part of the na
tional organization.

articles of traffic as may be found

Tho agriculture nee rotary and
Mr. Stono planned to leave Imme
diately for tho Kapidan River lodge.
Stone has just returned from a sur
voy trip of the middle west nnd
south, particularly in Keutucky,
and he will lay the new informa
tion before the president.
tiocrotary Hyde will supplement
Stone's report with any additional '
advices from the weather bureau as .
to prospects of relief.
The White Houso announced to
day the replies of Governors Heed
of Kansas nnd Parnell of Arkan
sas, saying they would be on hand
for the conference between the
president, government officials and
governors of the stutes affected
