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

Effort to Lease Restaurant

Thwarted by E. T. Allen's
Refusal to Consider
Efforts of a group of California
Filipinos to aecure a lease on the

thereby a foothold In the Rogue River
valley, were thwarted last night and
today by B. T. Allen, owner of the
hotel property.
Allen refused to consider leasing
the property, following a conference
with a committee of ex-service men
belonging to the Veterans of For

The ex-servicemen conferred with
Allen when they heard a lease to
the Islanders was being considered.
The ex-servicemen were assured by
Allen that no lease would, be granted

I told the boys, that for the

The ex-servicemen and Veterans of
Foreign Wars committee called upon
Chief of Police Clatous McCredle last
night and this morning. Chief
McCredle advised the committee that
the first steps rested with the
owner of the property. The com

that Talner had also been Involved

State police today warned autolsta
with last year's license to procure
the new Issue at once, or store their
cars. State autnormes win xaxe no
further steps until all have had a
chance to purchase. Instructions
from the governor's office at Salem
call for strict enforcement, with no
exceptions.
This morning the rush had sub
sided somewhat, but applicants con
tinued to come rapidly.
The secretary of state of California
is now preparing a list of Oregon
residents who have secured California
licenses voluntarily or otherwise.
This list when received, will be
checked against the . registration
books, and the tax Hats to determine
if the licensee works and votes in
this state.
The Washington atate auto license
department has submitted a list of
3S8 Oregonlans who have procured
Washington licenses during the
moratorium period, and they will also
be checked. .. .. .
Upstate evaders favor the Washing
ton license and the southern part of
the state has a preference for Cali
fornia plates, according to reports.
In the southern Oregon counties a
check has started on California
licenses operating on a 60-day per
mit. Many of these expired July 1,
and the operators then took advan
tage of the Oregon motor morator
ium. Several county and southern Ore
gon residents compelled to purchase
California licenses, have filed appli
cations for a rebate of the 14 expend
ed, as they will have to purchase Ore
gon licenses.
California authorities Insist that
all autolsts In the state have a 1032

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

Millions in Investments En
dangered by Attitude of
Paraguay and Bolivia
Youths Flock to Flag
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. (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.

1. Get this for a laugh. First
event on Olympic nroorrara
weight lifting both light and
heavy. Each event won by
Frenchman. One waa a dancing
teacher, the other a dealer In ft
gambling house.
Best showing at opening was
by Canada, sefond by Italy,
third Argentine, and today one
hundred and five thousand
people are looking for the
ladies milliner who put those
French "berets" on our Amer
ican boys. These "Boudwoir"
caps are bad enough on a
Frenchman, but on an Ameri
can athlete they are a scream.
Only test of endurance at the
opening was ten thousand me
ter prayer. A man with a short
prayer could get booking for
life, just at these . national
events.
