I j Twenty-Seventh Year MEDFOKD, OREGON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1932. No. 113. The Weather Forecast: Tonlfht and Wednesday fair. Not mucn change in tempera ture. HlRhest yesterday Lowest this morning S3 Uw 4 Comment the on Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. HEBE are some Interesting figures, whose aocuracy la vouched for by no less an authority than the National Industrial Conference Board: In the good old days of the scythe and the flail, it required 60 hours of Isbor for one man to harvest and thresh an acre of wheat. The self -binder and the stationary thresh, lng machine reduced this time to about oil hours. With the modern combine, one man can harvest and thresh an acre of wheat in about ONE HOUR. THAT Is to say,' one man, working with the aid of modern ma chinery, can harvest and thresh as much wheat In a day as SIXTY men harvested and threshed back In the days of the scythe and the flail. Quite a change, Isn't It? SO MUCH for harvesting and thresh ing. When we take a look at seeding methods, we find that a similar change haa taken place. In the daya when the scythe and the flail were In use, ground , was broken with a puny plow, drawn probably by oxen. The clods were broken and the seed bed prepared with a harrow of Insignificant size, and the sowing was done by hand the sower walking and scattering the seed from a sack alung from his ahoulder. It was then harrowed In. TODAY, In the big wheat farming 1 countries, the ground Is broken with multiple-bottom gang plows drawn by a tractor. It Is rather common practice to awing a harrow directly behind the plow. The seedbed la prepared with cor rugated rollera, that are not only faster, but do a far better Job than the old methods. The seed Is then drilled In by machinery. So, you see, modern speed In seed ing the crop haa kept pace with modern speed In harvesting It. HAT does all this mean? Well, It means, In all proba bility, that except for wars and oc casional periods of frenzied specula tion, the price of wheat will not be as high In the future as It has been In the past. When automobiles, for example, were made by hand, a few at a time, the price was exceedingly high; but as eoon as mass production was ap piled to their manufacture the price dropped. Mass production methods, we must realize from the figures thst have been here quoted, have been applied to the growing of wheat, TIERE la another thought: X Back In the old days, any high-grade mechanle could make an automobile and sen It In competl tlon with other mechanlca. But mass production put an end to that, and Bow only the huge factorlea can produce automobiles at a price that people can and will pay. The single-handed mechanle Is out of It. W1 Is still grown on little farms, aa well as big farms, but tt seems probable that the time is at hand when only the big wheat farmer, using modern machinery and modern methods, can produce wheat at a cost low enough to meet exist ing prices and still show a profit. THAT seems" a' plty, In a way, doesn't It? Still, It Is progress, and Southern Oregon Isn't a whest country, we are really more concerned with low priced wheat for human food and aa feed for livestock, especially poul try, than with high-priced wheat. We have our own agricultural specialties, and wheat Isn't one of them. Bo we can do our worrying about something else. t-t NNE of our speclaltlea Is scenery J Along that line. Ollbert Gros- enor, editor of the Hatlonal Geo graphlo Magazine, which la probably the highest authority In the world en scenery and travel, says after a trip along the Pacific Coast: "I believe Crater Lake, In South ern Oregon, Is the MOST WONDER FUL mountain resort IN THE WORLD." That la high praise. Isn't It? And It takes In a lot of territory. The (Continued on Page Pour) Customers Build Store, Pay Bills JOLtET. HI.. Aug. 3.

Counsel for Mrs. Barnum, In cross examining the witness, offered to prove to the court alleged collusion between Barnum and Tainer, in the sale of a house on Portland avenue, and that Barnum had agreed to "pro tect" Talner's money.

California authorities Insist that all autolsts In the state have a 1032 license of some state. WIN TEAM MATCH LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3.

ON INVESTMENTS In line with the new program pol icy of the Medford Rotary club, which will present talks and discussions on topics of general Interest, today's meeting featured a talk on-"Invest ments" by George Henselman, w.ho gave a comprehensive description of the various typea of securities which are divided Into two broad classifica tions, stocks and bonds. Difference between the two wee ex plained, the stocks representing own ership In a corporation and the bonds being a direct mortgage. The su perior features of a preferred stock as compared with a common stock also were brought out by the speaker. The history of bonds dates back to 1835 when the national debt was paid off after the war of 1813 and only a few atate bonds were available for Investment. After the civil war railroad bonds made their appearance and many Issues were placed on the market at the time the west was opened up. At the present time over seven billion dollars In railroad bonds are listed on the New Tork stock ex change, according to the speaker. Present listings of public utility bonds total 3 and one-quarter bil lion, while industrial Issues equal two anl one-half billion, and state and municipal bonds amount to over fif teen billion dollars. There are also over fifteen billion dollars In govern ment Issues. The Influx of foreign securities af ter the world war was covered by Henselman, who stated that over ten billion dollars In foreign securities are now listed on. the New York stock ex change alone. The fact that there were more Americans owning stock In 1933 than in 1020 was revealed by t,he speaker, who said that In 1020 there were over five and a half mil lion stockholders owning shares In 103 companies, while this year this total haa increased to over seven mil lion. In closing, Henselman stated that the problem which confronted the Investor waa to analyze a. secur ity carefully and to distinguish be tween an Investment and a specula tion. President Lantls thanked the 38 members of the club who had 100 per cent attendance records for, July; also those who had 76 per cent, The club average waa 01.30 per cent, Captain Gallahue of Idaho Falls waa Introduced as the new Salvation Army exeoutlvn for Medford. -Other visitors were T.

(AP) The American gov-ernment today looked for something that would at least bring a truce in argument between Bolivia and Paraguay, two South American countries where United States citizens have millions at stake. Just what could be done was prob lematical, especially In view of the decision by the Paraguayan congress last night to order a general mobili zation of its armed forces. Disturbing replies to neutral na tions for several days had greeted peace moves. Paraguay said she would not be responsible for re prlsals following the reported seizure of some of her forts by Bolivians. Bolivia expressed disinterest in any offer from neutrals to Investigate clashes since June IS. Further difficulties between the two would be reflected In their trade with the United 8tatea. In 1031. Bolivia used 1.779.173 worth of American goods while sending only 943.07S to this country. Para guay's exports to the United States last year were 4155,320 and her Im ports 0693.493.
